(Verse 1) The room is quiet, but the noise is loud inside There’s nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide You’re staring at the ceiling, counting every breath While the shadows in the corner try to whisper words of death The world is moving on, while you’re frozen in the dark Searching through the ashes just to find a single spark. (Pre-Chorus) But the engine isn't broken, it’s just stalled You’re not a victim, you’re the one who’s called To stand up in the wreckage, to look 'em in the eye And show 'em that a soul like yours was never meant to die. (Chorus) SO BURN! Let the fire in your spirit take the lead You’ve got everything inside you that you’re ever gonna need It’s a long way up, and the air is getting thin But the only way to lose is if you never let 'em in STAY ALIVE! Every heartbeat is a drum The battle isn't over 'til the victory is won You’re the storm, you’re the lightning, you’re the drive It’s a beautiful rebellion just to stay alive. (Verse 2) They’ll tell you that you’re fragile, they’ll tell you that you’re weak They’ll try to sell you silence when you really need to speak But every scar you’re wearing is a medal on your chest A testament to every time you passed the hardest test The pain is just the gravel on the road to where you’re going The river’s only heavy 'cause the water’s actually flowing. (Bridge) (Slower, building intensity) If you’re walking through hell—KEEP WALKING. If the voices get loud—START TALKING. Don’t you dare give back the light you were given The greatest act of courage is the act of simply living. (Drum build-up...) I SAID KEEP WALKING! (Chorus) SO BURN! Let the fire in your spirit take the lead You’ve got everything inside you that you’re ever gonna need It’s a long way up, and the air is getting thin But the only way to lose is if you never let 'em in STAY ALIVE! Every heartbeat is a drum The battle isn't over 'til the victory is won You’re the storm, you’re the lightning, you’re the drive It’s a beautiful rebellion just to stay alive. (Outro) Look at you now. Still breathing. Still here. The darkness didn't win. Not today. Not ever. Just stay.
