Watch it Fall

Verse 1

City breathing smoke, sky bleeding neon

Heart like a riot, I don’t need a reason

They want peace talks, I want silence

I been calm but the calm got violent

Hands in the flames, I don’t flinch now

World on a leash but it slipped out

I tried playing nice, that was back then

Now I smile while the match burns

Pre-Chorus

I gave my soul just to feel alive

They took it all and said “you’ll be fine”

So if this ends in ash tonight

I won’t be the one to apologize

Chorus

Strike the match, let it glow

If it all caves in, I won’t say no

I’m done tryna save what I don’t own

Stand back while the whole thing goes

I won’t scream, I won’t crawl

I won’t pray when the heavens stall

I’m wide awake, watch it fall

Yeah I’ll watch it fall

Verse 2

Built on lies with a pretty skyline

Gold chains rust in real time

They sell hope like it’s holy water

I drank it dry, now I’m harder

Blood in the ink when they write my name

They want truth but they love the game

If the crown fits, let it crack

I don’t want it if it holds me back

Pre-Chorus

I learned quick how to lose control

Still feel more than I ever felt whole

So if the night eats up the light

I’ll be standing there like it’s alright

Chorus

Strike the match, let it glow

If it all caves in, I won’t say no

I’m done tryna save what I don’t own

Stand back while the whole thing goes

I won’t scream, I won’t crawl

I won’t pray when the heavens stall

I’m wide awake, watch it fall

Yeah I’ll watch it fall

Bridge

I’m not the villain, I’m the result

Of broken promises, loaded revolts

You want a hero to clean this mess

I want the truth with its teeth out, yes

Let it hurt, let it show

Let the ashes tattoo my bones

If the end’s what it takes to feel

Then burn it down, make it real

Final Chorus

Strike the match, let it glow

If it all caves in, I won’t say no

I’m done tryna save what I don’t own

Stand back while the whole thing goes

No regret, no recall

No last rites for the rise and fall

Eyes wide open, watch it fall

Yeah I’ll watch it fall

Outro

No halo, no throne

Just fire and a steady pulse

If this is how the truth gets told

Then let it burn, let it go
