I wore the smile they picked for me
Hit every note and line so clean
Bit my tongue till it turned blue
Played pretend like they told me to

They want a solo, sweet and small
But I was born to burn it all
Now I'm tearing up your script
Watch me flip the switch, click, click

Plug me in, I'm a live explosive
Broke the box and recomposed it
I don't perform, I detonate, I pulled the pin
Now, get out of the way

I play it loud, I play it raw
I play it real, I play it flawed
Turned my cello into a flame
This is my sound, and I play it my way
I bend the strings, I make them scream
This time I play for bigger things
No bowing down, no sweet ballet
This is my sound, and I play it my way

Woah

[?] was hiding in their place
Held it in, then lit the fuse
Now I'm the truth you can't [?]

Plug me in, I'm a live explosive
Broke the box and recomposed it
I don't perform, I detonate, I pulled the pin
Now, get out of the way

I play it loud, I play it raw
I play it real, I play it flawed
Turned my cello into a flame
This is my sound, and I play it my way
I bend the strings, I make them scream
This time I play for bigger things
No bowing down, no sweet ballet
This is my sound, and I play it my way

I found my light, I found my voice
No one else could make this noise
I'm tiptoe steps of [?]
The girl they knew just stole the show

I play it loud, I play it raw
I play it real, I play it flawed
Turned my cello into a flame
This is my sound, and I play it my way
I bend the strings, I make them scream
This time I play for bigger things
No bowing down, no sweet ballet
This is my sound, and I play it my way
Woah
This is my sound, and I play it my way
