Blink and Battle Scars

[Verse 1]
It happens in a blink
Whole world tilts
I sink
Caught between the start and crash
One breath
Then the aftermath
Don’t wake me up too fast
I’m living in a photograph
Half-smile
Half-covered eyes
Frozen in a borrowed life
[Chorus]
I’ve got chains made of jealous words
Battle scars from what I heard
You said “in the end
You’ll see”
(in the end, you’ll see)
But where is the love that should be me
Where is the love that should be me
If I’m your hero in your dreams
Why am I missing from the scene
[Verse 2]
Stuck in a moment
Looping tape
Same four walls
No escape
Unbelievable
The way
You hold my heart
Then look away
I’m yours when the night gets loud
Your secret in a silent crowd
You call me when you come undone
Then hide me from the morning sun
[Chorus]
I’ve got chains made of jealous words
Battle scars from what I heard
You said “in the end
You’ll see”
(in the end, you’ll see)
But where is the love that should be me
Where is the love that should be me
If I’m your hero in your dreams
Why am I missing from the scene
[Bridge]
Mad at the mirror
Mad at the sky
Mad that I stay when you say goodbye
If I’m the one that you run to
Why can’t I be the one you run with
[Chorus]
I’ve got chains made of jealous words
Battle scars from what I heard
You said “in the end
You’ll see”
(in the end, you’ll see)
Well
Where is the love that should be me
Where is the love that should be me
If I’m your hero when you bleed
Then say it out loud
Say it out loud
Let that love finally be me

Anthemic pop-rock with male vocals, clean electric guitars over steady drums that swell from tight verses to a wide, hands-up chorus. Sub-bass doubles the kick in the hook; gang vocals shadow the title line on the last choruses. Bridge strips to toms and airy pads, then erupts back in with extra harmonies and a soaring lead guitar countermelody.
