[Verse 1]
Teeth in my tongue
Claws in my quiet hands
I smile like everything’s fine
But there’s a fault line in my plans
I keep my shadow on a leash
Name it “It’s gonna be okay”
But every time they push us down
I feel it pulling me the other way
[Chorus]
There’s a monster in my chest
Scratching at the walls
I can hear it calling out
Through every rise and fall (hey!)
We are more than what they say
We are built to break these halls
We will not fail
We will rise above all
[Verse 2]
They dress their doubt in decent words
Try to tame us with their fear
But I see the red behind their eyes
They’ve got the same thing buried here
We’re shaking chains in cinema glass
Reflections cracking at the seam
I’m done pretending to be small
I’m waking up the thing in me
[Chorus]
There’s a monster in my chest
Scratching at the walls
I can hear it calling out
Through every rise and fall (woah)
We are more than what they say
We are built to break these halls
We will not fail
We will rise above all
[Bridge]
Let it howl through the static
Let it tear through the doubt
Every scar is automatic
Proof we’re finding a way out
We are hunger
We are fire (fire)
We are standing through the fall
Say it louder
Say it higher
We will rise above it all (above it all)
[Chorus]
There’s a monster in my chest
Scratching at the walls
I can hear it calling out
Through every rise and fall (rise and fall)
We are more than what they say
We are built to break these halls
We will not fail
We will rise above all
[Outro]
We will not fail
Hear the animal call
We will not fail
We will rise above all (yeah)
