Verse
Everybody wants a piece of me
A second here, a minute there
Little red lights making promises
Like something good is waiting there
They know the words that make me angry
They know the ones that make me stay
They sell the silence back in pieces
After stealing half my day
Pre-Chorus
But there’s a place they cannot reach
Unless I hand them the key
Chorus
So I choose where I place my mind
What I leave and what I let inside
You can flash your lights
You can ring your bells
You can sell me heaven
You can sell me hell
But every moment that I call my own
Is one more thing you’ll never own
In a world that wants my eyes all the time
I choose where I place my mind
Verse
There’s a fortune in distraction
There’s a market for my rage
Every finger on the trigger
Just to keep me on the page
They can measure every heartbeat
Every hesitation, every pause
Turn a lonely midnight question
Into something someone bought
Pre-Chorus
But there’s a door they cannot cross
Until I choose to turn the lock
Chorus
So I choose where I place my mind
What I leave and what I let inside
You can flash your lights
You can ring your bells
You can sell me heaven
You can sell me hell
But every moment that I call my own
Is one more thing you’ll never own
In a world that wants my eyes all the time
I choose where I place my mind
Bridge
I don’t have to answer
I don’t have to know
I don’t have to follow
Everywhere you want me to go
Let the screen go dark
Let the silence speak
There is power in deciding
What deserves a piece of me
And maybe revolution
Doesn’t need a battle cry
Maybe it begins the moment
I decide what gets my time
Chorus
I choose where I place my mind
What I love and what I leave behind
Let the whole world shout
Let it beg and sell
I don’t owe my soul
To the ringing bell
Every moment that I call my own
Is one more thing you’ll never own
If attention is the currency
Then mine is mine
Yeah, in a world that wants my eyes all the time
The ultimate defiance
Is choosing where I place my mind
Outro
Let the screen go dark
Let the whole world wait
My attention is my own
And I decide what gets it
