LYRIC FOR SALE

By HUK64

[Verse 1]
You light the fire just to watch it burn
You follow noise but you never learn
You raise your voice in an empty fight
But I see through in the dead of night

You call it strength when you lose control
You trade your truth for a louder role
But I won’t march to a hollow sound
I stand my ground when you drag me down

[Pre-Chorus]
You say “Come on, just play along”
But I’ve been quiet for too damn long

[Chorus]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny

[Verse 2]
If you numb your mind just to feel alive
I’ll keep my head, I don’t need that high
If you laugh while the weak ones fall
I’ll take the hit, I will take them all

You swing your fists just to prove your name
But I won’t play in your dirty game
I’ll be the shield in the pouring rain
I take the scars, but I keep my flame

[Pre-Chorus]
You say “Be tough, don’t think it through”
But I’ve got something stronger than you

[Chorus]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny

[Bridge]
Shout your slogans, scream your hate
I won’t echo, I won’t translate
I’ll ask questions, face to face
Not hide behind a nameless rage

You draw your lines in black and white
But I still see the shades in light
I’d rather stand and take the blame
Than lose myself to win your game

[Solo Section – slow build, then explosive]

[Verse 3]
I’m not your enemy, don’t get it wrong
But I won’t follow where you don’t belong
There’s more to strength than a crushing hand
Sometimes it’s choosing to take a stand

Not every fight is won with steel
Sometimes the truth is what you feel
And I won’t trade that for your applause
Or break my soul for your twisted cause

[Final Chorus – bigger, layered vocals]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny

[Outro]
You can shout until you’re blue
You can do what you will do
But I choose a different way
And I won’t betray

What I know inside is true—
So I stand, and I break through

I refuse.
I say no.
I deny.
