Break It

about

“It’s a song I think everyone can relate to really, those tough times in life of total frustration when you just want to break everything in sight. It was written and recorded at a time of personal struggle with my father’s health through the entirety of the global pandemic and reflecting on those who wronged me during that time of great difficulty and pain. I ended up venting through this song, and it really helped me get through all of that.” Mike

Break It Lyrics

Let It Burn

I wanna Break it til the atoms are displaced and erased
Til a void of space is left in its place
Til the weakened system that they had so poorly designed turns to ashes right in front of their eyes
I’m not here to say I’m sorry and I’m tired of the games, justifications for your actions that can never be explained
I have suffered too much pain too much misery to date just look into my eyes and see the fire you can’t contemplate

Break. It. Until. There’s nothing left of it
Break. It. Until. There’s nothing left of it

Grease this path with the filthy putrid lies I tread upon
And line it with the names of the fools that attempted to enslave me all along

Now they’re rotting in pain
Paralysed in fear at the mention of my name
Too ashamed of the awful things that they’ve done, lying awake at night afraid of what they’ll see, cause when they close their eyes they see Me

I refused to be another victim of their schemes
They’re continuing to try to enslave whole generations of humanity

To suppress the rage took an inordinate amount of Me
I guess my nerve got too damn short
Do you know what I mean?!

I live to bring this fire that will never be contained
And all the rage that manifests inside of me has a never ending source of fuel for the flame
There’s more pages to this story not concerned with fools of folly, let them live with all the things that they’ve done
Simply no taking back the time and I refused to fall in line, I became what they always feared
And now I’ve come to

Break. It. Until. There’s nothing left of it
Break. It. Until. There’s nothing left of it


Tell me why did they have to go and lie
Every time
Do they think we’re f****** blind?
We’ve seen their evil doings and all the good lives that they’ve ruined
And an apology just won’t cut it this time

They knew all along that they crossed the f****** line
Now I’ve welcomed them to the nightmare of their own design

There is no escape, from the monster I have made
This is an unstoppable force born of suffering and rage

Misery
Your own medicine doesn’t f****** taste good does it
Misery
Endless psychopathic voids of misery
Without Help
Just know there’s no saving yourself from me
“This is how it’s gonna be”

I will never be
That zero that they told me, I had to
Just accept it right
And it came down to one night, I’d just had enough
Of all of the misery
And what
They tried to do to me
I just had to break it
Sick of all their shit

What the F*** did they think was gonna happen?
What? I’d accept all the lies?
No
I will not just lay down and die
Best expect a surprise
No
I will not just lay down and die
What in the F*** did they think was gonna happen?!
