Foundation & Fury

They gave me a blueprint for a life I wouldn't fit

A picket fence, a quiet voice, and a god to whom I'd submit

But the ground beneath that fantasy was rotten to the core

So I lit a match and walked away and didn't check the score.

Built my own foundation on the cracks they left behind

Fueled the fire with the fury that they hoped I'd never find

This ain't a breakdown, baby, this is a breakthrough

Tearin' down your old world to make way for somethin' new.

The blueprints that they offered were a cage of someone's lies

They promised me a garden, but they couldn't hide the flies

So I learned to be an architect of my own damn escape

Drew my own maps on the back of napkins, changed my given shape.

Built my own foundation on the cracks they left behind

Fueled the fire with the fury that they hoped I'd never find

This ain't a breakdown, baby, this is a breakthrough

Tearin' down your old world to make way for somethin' new.

They thought the fire would consume me, leave just ashes and regret

But they don't know a thing about the power of an unmet threat

This heat just forged the steel, this pressure made the frame

And my fury is the cornerstone that screams my goddamn name.

Built my own foundation on the cracks they left behind

Fueled the fire with the fury that they hoped I'd never find

This ain't a breakdown, baby, this is a breakthrough

Tearin' down your old world to make way for somethin' new.
