[Verse]
Grey streets stretch like broken chains
All the same faces same old stains
Choking on air that feels like glass
Tired of the herd tired of the mass

[Prechorus]
I don't want to fit the mold
Burn the rules cause I’m not sold

[Chorus]
I’ll be the exception not the rule
Won’t play the pawn or be the fool
Tear it down break it wide
Living free on the other side
No part in their manufactured deception
Bottom line is I’ll be the exception

[Verse 2]
Eyes like vultures circling low
Waiting for the cracks to show
Looking for another throat to slit
They can’t hold me can’t make me quit

[Prechorus 2]
It’s nothing but the blind leading the blind
But somehow I’m the one out of my mind

[Chorus]
I’ll be the exception not the rule
Won’t play the pawn or be the fool
Tear it down break it wide
Living free on the other side
No part in their manufactured deception
Bottom line is I’ll be the exception

[Bridge]
Let this box of burning ashes fall
As it hits the ground revealing it all
I’ll keep on moving past it all
Won’t bow down as I still hear tomorrows call

[Chorus]
I’ll be the exception not the rule
Won’t play the pawn or be the fool
Tear it down break it wide
Living free on the other side
No part in their manufactured deception
Bottom line is I’ll be the exception
