BREAK THE STATIC

I was sixteen with a head full of noise,

Small-town dreams and a beat-up choice.

Everybody swore I’d fade away,

Guess they never heard me anyway.

I took the long road, missed a few signs,

Spent half my life chasing one good night.

Got dirt on my boots and blood on my pride,

Still standing here, still alive.

⸻

Turn it up.

Let the walls shake.

⸻

Break the static.

Kill the silence.

Light a match

And watch it catch.

Break the static.

Let it burn.

If the whole world’s watching…

Let ’em learn.

Hands up high.

No looking back.

If you’re coming with me…

Better mean that.

⸻

Everybody’s got another opinion,

Another reason why it won’t work out.

I quit listening years ago,

Started trusting the sound.

Some folks spend their whole damn life

Waiting for permission slips.

I kicked the door,

Broke the lock,

Never looked back since.

⸻

Maybe I’m too loud.

Maybe that’s the point.

Maybe the fire

Was never meant

To stay inside.

⸻

Break the static.

Tear it down.

Build it bigger

From the ground.

Break the static.

Raise your voice.

Nobody ever changed a thing

By playing safe.

⸻

Turn it up.

One more notch.

They’ll hear us now.
