# FAKE RULES

## Intro

Yeah

Here we go again

Another pretty lie in a perfect little suit

Smile for them?

Not today

## Verse 1

They preach about justice from a golden chair

Tell me to grind while they breathe clean air

“Work harder, be smarter, don’t make a sound”

Funny how the loudest ones never hit the ground

Advice from the top like a broken toy

Empty words making nothing but noise

Swallow it down, call it growing up

If that’s being grown, then I’ve had enough

Rules made by people who never bleed

Hands on my throat while they call it peace

I’m not the problem, open your eyes

This whole damn world is built on lies

## Pre-Hook

Am I a good girl if I keep smiling?

Am I a good girl if I stay quiet?

Don’t dress up pain and call it pride

There’s a fire in my throat tonight

## Hook

Fake rules, fake smiles

Light it up and burn it down

If your justice is a cage for me

I’ll tear it apart and break out loud

Fake rules, fake lies

I won’t swallow one more line

If this world is made to shut me up

I’ll shake the ground with my own voice

Shut up, shut up, pretty little lies

Break it, break it, all your rotten rules

I don’t need your version of right

I’ll stand as myself and fight

## Verse 2

“Normal” is a word they use like chains

Tell me, who got saved by staying the same?

They laugh at the ones who fall and cry

Then crown the winners and call it life

Titles, numbers, fake little crowns

The emptiest people always talk so loud

Selling kindness with a knife behind

I’m sick of the show, I’m done being blind

No fists, just words that hit like shots

No more sleeping while the beat gets hot

Nobody hands me the future I want

So I take it back, front to the front

## Pre-Hook 2

They say, “Read the room,” but the room is poison

I won’t breathe it just to make them comfortable

The heart they told me to break in silence

Is turning into a blade tonight

## Hook

Fake rules, fake smiles

Light it up and burn it down

If your justice is a cage for me

I’ll tear it apart and break out loud

Fake rules, fake lies

I won’t swallow one more line

If this world is made to shut me up

I’ll shake the ground with my own voice

Shut up, shut up, voices from above

Break it, break it, every hidden chain

I don’t need your version of right

I’ll win as myself tonight

## Bridge

I walked through nights I couldn’t forgive

Choked on words I was forced to live with

But I’m not broken

No, I’m not done

This rage is not weakness

It’s the sound of my blood

Better to shine with scars on my skin

Than smile like a doll while I rot within

Give me back the voice you stole

I’m taking it now

## Final Hook

Fake rules, fake smiles

Light it up and burn it down

If your pretty words are tying me

I’ll silence the lie and scream out loud

Fake rules, fake lies

I won’t give myself away

Even in a world built wrong

I won’t bend, I won’t obey

Shut up, shut up, convenient lies

Break it, break it, every old cage

I don’t need your version of right

I’ll live as myself with rage

## Outro

Yeah

Take off the mask of righteousness

Let them laugh if they want

I’m not quiet anymore

I’m not quiet anymore
