Steal the Declaration

[Verse 1]
History geek in a dusty hall
Reads a riddle on a painted wall
Granddad’s tale in his stubborn head
Hidden map in the words they read
Snowbound ship in the frozen dark
Powder smoke
Burning spark
Treasure hunters turning mean
He picks a side
Slips off clean
[Pre-Chorus]
Who do you trust
When the clues point home
Pages and promises
Cut to the bone
[Chorus]
He’s gonna steal the Declaration
Chasing truth across the nation
Ink and secrets
Codes and lies
Every hallway
Every eye
Run
Run
Under white house lights
Friends on the left
Feds on the right
Risking it all for revelation
He’s gonna steal the Declaration
[Verse 2]
Midnight vault in a borrowed suit
Gloved hands
Heartbeat
Breathing mute
Archivist girl caught in the scheme
Now she’s hanging from a wire in the in-between
Best friend cracking jokes in the getaway van
Rival with a gun and a backup plan
Clues on the back that they said weren’t there
Heat in the room
Torch smoke in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Past on the walls
Future on trial
Gunmetal stares
And a crooked smile
[Chorus]
He’s gonna steal the Declaration
Chasing truth across the nation
Ink and secrets
Codes and lies
Every hallway
Every eye
Run
Run
Under white house lights
Friends on the left
Feds on the right
Risking it all for revelation
He’s gonna steal the Declaration
[Bridge]
Bells ring out in the tower sky (oh)
Stones give way where the patriots lie
Gold in the dark
Dust on his face
He trades the glory for a different grace
[Chorus]
He’s gonna steal the Declaration
Chasing truth across the nation
Ink and secrets
Codes and lies
Every hallway
Every eye
Run
Run
But he saves the day
Keeps the past
Walks away
Lost in the glow of a new foundation
He’s gonna steal the Declaration (yeah)
