[Verse 1]
We carved our names
Into the underside of town
Smoked out lungs
Laughing while the walls came down
We wore our hurt
Like medals on a crooked chain
Soft-spoken kings
Crowning ourselves with our own pain
[Chorus]
We are the rebels who love the rain
Ashes in my mouth
Still I say your name
We fall apart
Just to rise again
Calm in the fire
Yeah
We were born from the flame
We are the rebels
Who learned to love the pain
[Verse 2]
You stitched your scars
Into the lining of your coat
Talked about leaving
With that steady
Level tone
We broke the rules
Then swept the glass up from the floor
Taught our hearts
How to walk back through the same old door
[Chorus]
We are the rebels who love the rain
Ashes in my mouth
Still I say your name
We fall apart
Just to rise again
Calm in the fire
Yeah
We were born from the flame
We are the rebels
Who learned to love the pain
[Bridge]
I don’t beg the night
I don’t beg the dawn (no more)
I just breathe it in
Let the old world be gone
If the hurt returns
Let it come
I’ll stay
I’m the quiet storm
I’m the one who doesn’t break
[Chorus]
We are the rebels who love the rain
Ashes in my mouth
Still I say your name
We fall apart
Just to rise again
Calm in the fire
Yeah
We were born from the flame
We are the rebels
Standing in the rain
Sad and unafraid
Yeah
We were made for the pain
