Not Built for This

(boom-ka, boom-ka!)

Wake up, plug in, pretend I care

Smile through another blank-eyed stare

Deadlines, headlines, dopamine drip

All I wanna do is pull the rip

I’m not a cog, I’m not a brand

But I’m boxed and stamped by demand

I’m not built for this..

The rush, the rules, the bitterness

This treadmill life, it don’t make sense

I’m breaking down, not breaking in

I’m not built for this..

Can’t fake the fit, I never did

(Snap! Crack! Spit it out!)

I don’t belong in this burnout route

Clickbait soul, scrolling my worth

Trained to chase a life that’s cursed

Clock hands whip like chains of gold

But I just feel tired and old

No, I can’t hustle through the ache

This mask they sell begins to break

I’m not built for this..

The grind, the gloss, the loneliness

I’ve worn ambition like a leash

But freedom’s just beyond my reach

I’m not built for this..

Don’t sell me dreams with iron fists

(Snap! Crack! Spit it out!)

This system’s loud, but I’m not proud

I see the cracks in all your gods

No more “just cope”, I call it fraud

I’d rather crash than live this lie

Than fake a life while dead inside

Your metrics miss the best of me

I’m not your data, I’m not your feed

I want to breathe without a script

Not optimize this sinking ship

I won’t upgrade my soul for speed

I’ll glitch before I let it bleed

I’m not built for this..

The cold, the clicks, the corporate kiss

They sell collapse as discipline

But I was never wired to win

I’m not built for this..

So take your box, I’ll never fit

(Snap! Crack! Spit it out!)

I’m not a part of this burnout cult

Breathe in, break out, let go, burn down

We’re not machines, we feel, we drown

(Yeah!)

Not built, not bought, not sold to fit

I’ll tear the mold and scream:

THIS IS IT!

I’m not built for this..

The rush, the rules, the bitterness

This treadmill life, it don’t make sense

I’m breaking down, not breaking in

I’m not built for this..

Can’t fake the fit, I never did

(“Still not built for this…”)
