They walk their lines I tear them open

They move in perfect circles, polished masks and quiet lies I walk through their perfection just to watch it vaporize They humble for acceptance, beg for names and gold applause I stay feral in the shadows, tearing holes through all their laws

I don’t fit their little boxes, don’t respond to trained commands There’s no ribbon on my spirit, there’s no leash around these hands Every time they tried to tame me, I just turned more iron-willed I’m the fire they can’t smother, I’m the voice they couldn’t still

They march in rhythm chasing hollow praise I roam off-beat through the smoke and blaze

I’m a savage in a civilized world Unashamed, uncontained, undeterred I don’t fit their script, don’t play their game My soul wasn’t built to kneel and obey I’m a savage in a civilized world Let them blend, let them beg to belong I don’t bow, don’t nod, don’t perform I’m a savage in a civilized world

They lace their dreams in cages, call their caution something wise But I found truth in chaos where the untamed spirit lies Their hands locked tight in comfort, mine hold thunder, mine hold grit They speak about the path, I take the path and burn through it

They need a world that likes them, I just need a world to test They need shelter from the storm, I treat the storm like honored guest Don’t invite me to your kingdom, I’ll just rip apart the throne My religion is defiance, my allegiance is my own

They march in rhythm chasing hollow praise I roam off-beat through the smoke and blaze

I’m a savage in a civilized world Unashamed, uncontained, undeterred I don’t fit their script, don’t play their game My soul wasn’t built to kneel and obey I’m a savage in a civilized world Let them blend, let them beg to belong I don’t bow, don’t nod, don’t perform I’m a savage in a civilized world

Give them comfort Give me storms Give them crowns Give me thorns Let them chase a flawless reign I was built to break the chain

I’m a savage in a civilized world Untamed, unafraid, uncontrolled I don’t march their route, don’t wear their mold My pulse beats wild, my blood runs bold

I’m a savage in a civilized world Let them kneel to the norm they serve I don’t blend, don’t bend, don’t perform I'm the storm they were warned about since birth

I’m a savage in a civilized world Uncontained, unrestrained, undeterred Let them walk in line, bowing to the norm I was built for the wild, not built to perform

I’m a savage in a civilized world I don’t chase, don’t kneel, don’t learn to conform I don’t blend, don’t bend, don’t dance to their chord I’m a savage in a civilized world
