"They tried to break me. They tried to erase me."

"Guess what? I'm still here."

I was just a name in your program,

A number, a shadow, a face to replace.

You built me up just to shut me down,

But I’m the spark you couldn’t erase.

You locked the doors, you lit the fuse,

Thought I'd be gone, just another excuse.

But I’m still breathing, I’m still loud—

Guess what, baby? I’m burnin’ it down!

Burn it down, burn it down! Let the fire rise!

I won’t drown, I won’t bow! Watch me touch the sky!

From the ashes, hear the sound—

I was lost, now I’m found—

And I’m burnin’ it, burnin’ it, burnin’ it down!

Say my name, do you feel that fear?

Regret tastes bitter after all these years.

I was your ghost, I was your sin,

But darling, I came back to win.

You locked the doors, but I broke through,

Thought I'd be gone, but I outgrew you.

You played your games, I played ‘em loud—

Guess what, baby? I’m burnin’ it down!

Burn it down, burn it down! Let the fire rise!

I won’t drown, I won’t bow! Watch me touch the sky!

From the ashes, hear the sound—

I was lost, now I’m found—

And I’m burnin’ it, burnin’ it, burnin’ it down!

"You thought you could bury me."

"You thought I'd stay quiet."

"But embers never die... they just wait for the right time."

Burn it down, burn it down! Let the fire rise!

I won’t drown, I won’t bow! Watch me touch the sky!

From the ashes, hear the sound—

I was lost, now I’m found—

And I’m burnin’ it, burnin’ it, burnin’ it down!

"You should’ve known better..."

"I never lose."
