Controlled Demolition

This ain't a cry for help, a sob story to tell

Just a final, sweet farewell to the architect of my hell

This is the end of haunting, the ghost has been released

The war is finally over, and I'm celebrating peace.

This is a controlled demolition, a final, clear decision

Setting the charges, cutting the wires

Turning my past into funeral pyres

No tears, no remorse, just the dust in the air

Building my future on a dare.

I've packed the pain with dynamite, the memories with lead

Every lie you ever told me, every hateful word you said

I'm not running from the building, I'm the one who lit the fuse

'Cause leaving quietly is a privilege I can't use.

This is a controlled demolition, a final, clear decision

Setting the charges, cutting the wires

Turning my past into funeral pyres

No tears, no remorse, just the dust in the air

Building my future on a dare.

So here's the countdown, this is it, the final act, the end

Of pretending I am broken, of pretending to pretend

Three, two, one, the button's pushed, the structure starts to fall

And from the smoke and wreckage, I'll be standing through it all.

This is a controlled demolition, a final, clear decision

Setting the charges, cutting the wires

Turning my past into funeral pyres

No tears, no remorse, just the dust in the air

Building my future on a dare.
