Voltage in My Veins

Count it in

One strike, two sins

Red tape on my knuckles

Cold grin, blood thin

Walk in like a fault line

Cracks run wherever I go

Heart like a landmine

Tick slow, then blow

Steel toes on the pavement

Scuff marks, same old rage

Every day feels ancient

Still I’m tearing out the page

Black hoodie, chipped paint on my headphones

Voices in the wire saying “stand tall”

Yeah I talk to my ghosts in the dead zone

They just laugh when they hear you want me to fall

I got voltage in my veins

Hear that thunder in my name (hey)

Turn this fear into a flame

Let it bang, let it bang

I got voltage in my veins

Won’t break, I just bend the chains

If the world wanna bring that pain

Let it bang, let it bang

Bite down, taste rust on my tongue tip

War drum pounding in my rib cage

Big crowd, but I’m stuck in my own crypt

Still I turn every bruise to an upgrade

Side eye from the suits, they don’t like this

Tat ink creeping out of my sleeve

They say “tone it all down, keep it righteous”

I say “turn it all up, let me breathe”

Kick doors off the frame when they box me

Bare hands on the walls ‘til they crack

Every scar on my arm like a proxy

For the times I refused to go back

I got voltage in my veins

Hear that thunder in my name (woah)

Turn this fear into a flame

Let it bang, let it bang

I got voltage in my veins

Won’t break, I just bend the chains

If the world wanna bring that pain

Let it bang, let it bang

Head high in the crossfire

I don’t duck, I don’t tire

Turn my doubt into barbed wire

Climb out higher, higher

If I crash, that’s impact

Shatter glass, I bounce back

Every fall writes one fact

I was built for this
