Verse 1
Ripped shoes on a cracked-up street
Headphones screaming just to feel complete
They laugh when we don’t play nice
We learned early: wrong feels right
Report cards folded into planes
Thrown out windows of borrowed names
They want quiet, they want clean
We’re the mess in between
Pre-Chorus
They drew lines, we crossed them all
Built our homes in the wreckage they called “small”
Chorus
This is the misfit parade
Hands up, teeth clenched, unafraid
We don’t shine, we don’t behave
We bite back, we don’t get saved
Yeah this is the misfit parade
Scarred hearts never fade
If you don’t belong—good
March with us anyway
Verse 2
Basement lights and broken amps
Dreams taped up with busted plans
You wear gold, we wear truth
Spit and duct tape, blood and youth
They talk big about being first
We learned how to survive the worst
Every crack in the floor we found
Taught us how to stand our ground
Pre-Chorus
They want crowns, they want control
We want noise and a pulse and a soul
Chorus
This is the misfit parade
Middle fingers raised in the rain
No permission, no escape
Just loud mistakes we proudly make
Yeah this is the misfit parade
Dead ends turned into flames
If you feel wrong—good
You’re exactly the same
Bridge
We’re not lost
We’re just off the map
Built our faith from the things we lack
Call us failures, call us cursed
We learned how to scream before we learned to hurt
Breakdown (shouted)
No throne
No rules
No future they approve
No shame
No fear
We’re still here
Final Chorus
This is the misfit parade
Sing it wrong, scream it late
We don’t bend, we don’t break
We survive on the noise we make
Yeah this is the misfit parade
Ugly, loud, wide awake
If you don’t belong—good
This song is your name
BLACKLARK
