[Verse 1]
You try and keep me out of sight
You try and keep me out of sight and out of mind
Out of mind
[Verse 2]
You try and keep me from the light
You try and keep me from the light, but I know it's mine
I know it's mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re rigging the game
You’re part of the system
It shows in the way
That you never listen when I speak
I’m not gonna wait
I’ve made my decision
[Chorus]
And I’m not gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I’m not gonna sit in the dark anymore
[Verse 3]
You’re always telling me I'm not
You’re always telling me I'm not, not enough
But I’m enough
[Verse 4]
You’re always turning back the clock
You’re always turning back the clock, but time is up
Time is up
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re rigging the game
You’re part of the system
It shows in the way
That you never listen when I speak
I’m not gonna wait
I’ve made my decision
[Chorus]
And I’m not gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I’m not gonna sit in the dark anymore
[Bridge]
We’ve taken our knocks
We’re not gonna take them anymore
We’re not gonna stop
'Cause we've seen a world worth fighting for
Ready or not
Together we’re kicking down the door
[Chorus]
And we’re not gonna sit in the dark anymore
No we’re not gonna sit in the dark anymore
