[Verse 1]
They called us dangerous
Lock the doors
Draw the lines on the floor
Whispers in the hallway
Eyes say run
But my feet want more
Your hand on the fire alarm
Smile like you’ve been here before
Every rule feels paper-thin
Every breath says kick that door
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“Hide it”
But I feel it in my skin
All this quiet
Is louder than it’s ever been
[Chorus]
Out of control
In my hands
I’m burning holes in their plans
When I light up
I won’t stand down
Stand down
(I won’t stand down, stand down)
They wanna cage what I am
But I keep breaking the dam
When I light up
I won’t stand down
Stand down
I’m out of control
In my hands
[Verse 2]
Classroom turned war room
Desk shields
Scribbled maps
Red pen
You joke
“We’re the problem”
I laugh
“We just don’t fit in”
Sirens on the TV glow
Someone else who looks like us
Every headline says “Too much”
Every heartbeat says “It’s us”
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“Hide it”
But I feel it in my skin
All this quiet
Is louder than it’s ever been
[Chorus]
Out of control
In my hands
I’m burning holes in their plans
When I light up
I won’t stand down
Stand down
(I won’t stand down, stand down)
They wanna cage what I am
But I keep breaking the dam
When I light up
I won’t stand down
Stand down
I’m out of control
In my hands
[Bridge]
If we’re the danger
Let it show (let it show)
I’m done pretending I don’t glow (I don’t glow)
You touch my palm
The room slows down
We’re the spark they can’t put out
If we’re the story
Write it wrong
We’ll flip the page and sing along (oh)
Two outcasts in a borrowed lab
Turning fear into what we have
[Chorus]
Out of control
In my hands
I’m burning holes in their plans
When I light up
I won’t stand down
Stand down
(I won’t stand down, stand down)
They wanna cage what I am
But I keep breaking the dam
When I light up
I won’t stand down
Stand down
I’m out of control
In my hands
