[Intro]
Heartbeat in my ears
Dust in my lungs
Name on my tongue
Teeth on my fear (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I was raised on
Hand-me-down grudges
Carved my fate
In the cracks of the floor
Every "you can't"
Turned into something
Every closed fist
Became my open door
Black ink vows
On the back of my knuckles
Learned how to stand
When they told me "stay down"
I don't chase crowns
I collect these scars
Wear 'em like steel
In a rusted-out town (uh)
[Chorus]
We don't fall out
We fall in line with the heartbreak
Step by step
'Til the ground starts to shake
Hands up high
For the ones that they counted out
Say it loud, say it loud
(We don't fall, we don't fall out)
We don't bow down
We bite back when they close in
Every bruise
Is a drum we can march with
Hands up high
For the ones that they counted out
Say it loud, say it loud
(We don't fall, we don't fall out)
[Verse 2]
Every bad dream
Got a first and last name
Every sharp word
Left a mark, left a flame
Tried to break me
Into bite-sized pieces
But I grew fangs
In the belly of the beast, yeah
Cold eyes now
But the pulse still thunder
Hear that thud?
That's the will they wanted under
If they draw lines
I’ll redraw the map
Turn their trap
To a victory lap (hey!)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to heartbeat thump]
If I go down
I go down swingin'
If I black out
My name still ringin'
If they shut doors
We kick 'em off hinges
Stand in the smoke
With a fist and a witness (woah)
[Chorus]
We don't fall out
We fall in line with the heartbreak
Step by step
'Til the ground starts to shake
Hands up high
For the ones that they counted out
Say it loud, say it loud
(We don't fall, we don't fall out)
We don't bow down
We bite back when they close in
Every bruise
Is a drum we can march with
Hands up high
For the ones that they counted out
Say it loud, say it loud
(We don't fall, we don't fall out)
