Foundation & Fury
About this track
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.
