[Verse 1]
They took the name off the door
Took the keys from my palm
Took the food from the plate
Took the calm from my jaw
Took my pride in the rain
Took my sleep in the dark
Now I got grit in my teeth
And a fire in my heart
I been bent, I been bruised
I been pressed to the bone
If you want me to break
You gonna need more than stones
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the shape of the fall
I know the sound of it all
When the last wall cracks
I don't crawl, I don't crawl
[Chorus]
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
(It’s only after we’ve lost everything)
We’re free to do anything
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
(Free to do anything)
Say it loud, say it mean
[Verse 2]
I wore the scars like a chain
Till they snapped in my hand
Now the ruin in my chest
Is a map of the land
I don't beg for the door
I don't knock anymore
I kick the frame into splinters
Then I ask what it's for
Every bruise got a lesson
Every loss got a spark
Every night I was buried
Made a blade in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the shape of the fall
I know the sound of it all
When the last wall cracks
I don't crawl, I don't crawl
[Chorus]
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
(It’s only after we’ve lost everything)
We’re free to do anything
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
(Free to do anything)
Say it loud, say it mean
[Bridge]
Let it burn
Let it go
Take the fear
Take the throne
If I got nothing
Then I got room
To rebuild
From the fumes
[Breakdown]
Nothing left
So I rise
Nothing left
So I rise
Nothing left
So I rise
Nothing left
So I rise
[Final Chorus]
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
(It’s only after we’ve lost everything)
We’re free to do anything
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
(Free to do anything)
Now watch me tear the cage clean
