(Verse 1)
They tried to put me in a picture-perfect frame
Said play it safe if you’re chasing the fame
Smile for the camera, shake the right hands
Sing the same song with a different band
But the louder I got, the tighter they pulled
Till I snapped that leash and ran through the wall
You can dress me up in diamonds and gold
But you can’t make thunder do what it’s told
(Pre-Chorus)
I was born with the volume high
Heart like a riot I can’t deny
You can turn the lights down low
But the noise in me will always grow
(Chorus)
When the day comes down
And they lay me out
Don’t play no sad song soft and slow
Turn the amps up high
Let the whole world shout
If I go down — I go loud
Bury me loud
Bury me loud
Let the speakers shake the ground
Bury me loud
Bury me loud
Let the thunder be my sound
(Verse 2)
Back when the van had a broken door
And the crowd was ten on a barroom floor
Still felt bigger than a stadium roar
’Cause we played like we had a world to war for
They said “Kid, slow down, you’ll burn too fast”
But a quiet life just wouldn’t last
I’d rather crash with a sky full of sparks
Than fade away in the dark
(Pre-Chorus)
I was built from broken strings
Midnight dreams and reckless things
If the fire burns me through
At least the flame was true
(Chorus)
When the day comes down
And they lay me out
Don’t play no sad song soft and slow
Turn the amps up high
Let the whole world shout
If I go down — I go loud
Bury me loud
Bury me loud
Let the speakers shake the ground
Bury me loud
Bury me loud
Let the thunder be my sound
(Bridge)
No marble stone
No whispered prayer
Just six steel strings
And the open air
If the world remembers anything I said
Let it be the noise I left instead
(Final Chorus)
When the day comes down
And they lay me out
Let the whole damn city know
Turn the amps up high
Let the chaos shout
If I go down — I go loud
Bury me loud
Bury me loud
Let the speakers shake the ground
Bury me loud
Bury me loud
Let the thunder be my sound
