[Verse 1]
County radio screaming
Three wrecks in a row
Blood on the ledger
No time to let it show
Lea at the console
Jaw set like steel
One more bad voice
One more raw deal
[Verse 2]
Broken tires, sirens
Kids in the rain
Lost dog, drunk driver
Mangled frame again
She stamps every report
Hands shaking hard
Count every second
Then count every scar
[Pre-Chorus]
She bites down hard
Keeps the line alive
But the pressure climbs
And the sparks arrive
One more call
One more lie
Lea’s got rage
Behind her eyes
[Chorus]
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
County’s burning
And she’s out of time
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
Say one more word
And she’ll lose her mind (lose her mind)
[Verse 3]
Coffee gone cold
Under fluorescent haze
Screens like a battlefield
Locked in a maze
Family on hold
While the phones keep rolling
She hears every sob
And it starts backfiring
[Pre-Chorus]
She bites down hard
Keeps the line alive
But the pressure climbs
And the sparks arrive
One more call
One more lie
Lea’s got rage
Behind her eyes
[Chorus]
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
County’s burning
And she’s out of time
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
Say one more word
And she’ll lose her mind (lose her mind)
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
She’s not a machine
She’s a body in pain
Grinding her teeth
In the flood of the day
One desk, one voice
Too many dead ends
When the whole damn county
Keeps breaking again
[Breakdown]
Hush
The room goes red
Hands on glass
Static in her head
Hush
Hear the scream
Lea cuts through
The wires and the steam
[Final Chorus]
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
County’s burning
And she’s out of time
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
Say one more word
And she’ll lose her mind (lose her mind)
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
No more mercy
No more shine
Lea, break the line
Lea, break the line
Storm in the chair
With a soul too tired to climb (too tired to climb)
