Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw you clench your jaw
At the diner door
Knuckles on the vinyl seat
Like you've done this before
They threw the first bad word
You felt the match go hot
But fire burns the hand
That reaches for the lot
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe in slow
Count to ten
Don't hand your name
To the lion's den
Stand your ground
Don't lose your way
There's more power
In what you don't say
[Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
Don't swing blind
Hold the line
(hold the line)
Hold the line
Hold the line
Choose what's right
Hold the line
(hold the line)
[Verse 2]
There's glass in every crowd
There's teeth behind a grin
A fool can take a swing
And still be caged within
I know the blood runs loud
I know the room gets tight
But wisdom keeps you standing
When the dark comes to bite
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe in slow
Count to ten
Don't trade the future
For one bad second
Lift your chin
Let the smoke pass by
You don't need rage
To prove you're alive
[Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
Don't swing blind
Hold the line
(hold the line)
Hold the line
Hold the line
Choose what's right
Hold the line
(hold the line)
[Bridge]
If they push, let them push
If they bark, let them bark
You can be the steady hand
When the whole world starts to spark
Not every wound needs a war
Not every pain needs teeth
Sometimes the bravest thing
Is staying on your feet
[Final Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
Don't swing blind
Hold the line
(hold the line)
Hold the line
Hold the line
Choose what's right
Hold the line
(hold the line)
Hold the line
Hold the line
Stay and fight
Hold the line
(hold the line)

Post-grunge alt-rock with driving drums and jagged guitar riffs; verse punches forward in straight-time grit, pre-chorus opens wider with rising toms and strained harmony, chorus lands in a half-time anthem with gang shouts on the hook. Weathered lead vocal sits close in the verse, doubles thicken the chorus, a siren swell and reversed crash lift into the final lift. Urgent, hopeful, gritty, and wide in the mix., rock, post-grunge
