"Something To Prove" lyrics

You were quick to determine
How little I'm worth
All because I was born on
The wrong patch of dirt
Looking down on me
Makes you feel better

But it's all a distraction
A way to kill time
So you won't ever question
Your sad empty lives
Well that sense of peace
It won't last forever

Everything you've taken
Wasn't mine to keep

I'm not your pawn to play
I'm not your point to make
You said you wanted a show
So tell me, are you entertained?

Write it in blood red paint
You're going to rue the day
You gave it all that you had
But you couldn't quite get me to break

I admit it's effective
To keep us all scared
You make sure that we know
You have eyes everywhere
One wrong move and face
The consequences

But I think that in secret
You're terrified
The time's going to come when
Our fear subsides
And we finally see
We are not defenseless

Everything you've stolen
Wasn't mine to own

I'm not your pawn to play
I'm not your point to make
You said you wanted a show
So tell me, are you entertained?

Write it in blood red paint
You're going to rue the day
You gave it all that you had
But you couldn't quite get me to break

What's more dangerous
Than someone you cornered
Who's got nothing left to lose?
I'll be patient
You won the battle but
I still have something to prove

And a promise I made
That I would not let the sun
Rise one more day
On a world I did not try to
Fight tooth and nail to change

Now and evermore

I'm not your pawn to play
I'm not your point to make
You said you wanted a show
So tell me, are you entertained?

Write it in blood red paint
You're going to rue the day
You gave it all that you had
But you couldn't quite get me to break
You couldn't quite get me to break
