I'd rather be displaced
than to live under your thumb
It may not be just
but at least it's my choice
And it's not out of spite
like how you may believe
It's my only say, and act of woe
And in the end, the way I won't bend
Let's burn this place down
To the ashes of distress
Let's burn this place down
To the ashes of despair
Let's burn this place down
To the ashes of regret, to distress, to despair
When options are limited to
Subjection or a match
I'll choose to negate
Your involvement in my life
As my last act of dissent
Swirls and burns clean through
I will stand outside, breath the air
and feel pride in sacrifice
