[Verse 1]
Woke up with last night in my teeth
Half-truths, blue ticks I didn’t read
My phone screen glowing like a wound
Same four walls, same old mood
Kick drum heartbeat in my chest
Cheap ink stains on this old vest
I’m still mad, still here, still loud
Wrong kid standing out in the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time they say “calm down”
I just wanna tear this town
Rip that script they wrote for me
Light it up and watch it bleed
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna fade to background chatter
I was made to burn it back, burn it back, what’s shattered (hey!)
If the world falls apart, let it crack in my hands
I’ll be laughing in the dark with my idiot friends
We don’t need their map, we’ll draw our own attack
If it all goes down, then we burn it back
[Verse 2]
Hand-me-down dreams on the floor
Dad’s old records by the door
Told me, “Kid, play safe, stay small”
Guess I never learned that at all
Sharpie scars on bathroom stalls
Every name, a broken call
I write mine, then write yours too
Promise I won’t lose you
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time you say “I’m tired”
I just wanna feed that fire
You’re not done, you’re just delayed
Take that doubt, we’ll use it as a blade
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna fade to background chatter
I was made to burn it back, burn it back, what’s shattered (oh yeah)
If the world falls apart, let it crack in my hands
I’ll be laughing in the dark with my idiot friends
We don’t need their map, we’ll draw our own attack
If it all goes down, then we burn it back
[Bridge]
[Beat drops, filtered guitars, close vocal]
Late nights, long fights, same old sting
Every failure, every sting, that’s fuel, that’s wings
If we’re too much, then that’s too bad
I’d rather be loud than safe and sad (hey!)
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna fade to background chatter
I was made to burn it back, burn it back, what’s shattered
If the world falls apart, let it crack in my hands
I’ll be laughing in the dark with my idiot friends
We don’t need their map, we’ll draw our own attack
If it all goes down, then we burn it back
Yeah, if it all goes down, then we burn it back
