No Winners

[Verse 1]
Chrome on the curb
Engines breathing heat
Two sets of colors
Filling up the street
President’s daughter
Leaning on the bar
Her name in their mouths
Like gasoline and sparks
[Pre-Chorus]
Words get sharp
Like chains in their hands
Somebody shoves
And it all starts to slam
[Chorus]
No winners in a war like this
Just busted teeth and empty fists
Blood on the leather
Smoke in the air
Nobody walks away from here
No kings
No crowns
Just broken ribs
Burned-out halos
Busted lips
They’re all sinners over your kiss
And when it’s done
There’s no winners
[Verse 2]
First punch flies
Shatters out the glass
Sirens in the distance
But they’re buried in the crash
She’s screaming names
That they can’t even hear
Boots on the pavement
Skulls on the pier
[Pre-Chorus]
Knives flash quick
Like lightning on chrome
One man drops
Another won’t go home
[Chorus]
No winners in a war like this
Just busted teeth and empty fists
Blood on the leather
Smoke in the air
Nobody walks away from here
No kings
No crowns
Just broken ribs
Burned-out halos
Busted lips
They’re all sinners over your kiss
And when it’s done
There’s no winners
[Bridge]
Morning comes slow
Blue tape
White sheets
Engines sitting silent
Oil in the weeds
She stands shaking
Mascara like rain
Two empty jackets
Folded with their names
[Instrumental Break]
[Extended guitar solo over chorus chords
Building from mournful bends to a soaring high-register climax]
[Chorus]
No winners in a war like this
Just busted teeth and empty fists
Blood on the leather
Smoke in the air
Nobody walks away from here
No kings
No crowns
Just broken ribs
Burned-out halos
Busted lips
They’re all sinners over your kiss
You got them all
And you’re crying in the mirror
Yeah
[Outro]
No winners
Just names on a stone
Two biker gangs
And a girl all alone

rock, Big cinematic rock ballad, male vocals. Clean arpeggiated guitars in the verses, slow half-time drums, bass glued to the kick. Pre-chorus swells with toms and harmony pads, then a wide, anthemic chorus with stacked vocals. Mid-song searing guitar solo over a lifted key center, then final chorus hits harder with crash-heavy drums and ad-libbed top line., ballad
