New Blood In Our Name

[Verse 1]
Clock clicks slow
Same four walls
Bills on the table
Hope in her calls
She comes home late
Ink on her sleeve
“I think this is it”
I barely breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
She laughs like she did at twenty
Eyes on fire
Hands still shaking
Says
“If I get this
We’re leaving”
I say
“Kick that door wide open”
[Chorus]
You got the call
We got a life now
New blood in our name
Can you feel it? (feel it)
You took the hit
Now we rise out
From the grind
From the grey
We can breathe it
You broke that chain they swore would never break
Now every mile we drive is ours to take
[Verse 2]
Coffee gone cold
Phone starts to ring
She stares at the screen
Afraid to answer anything
Then her face splits wide
Tears cut clean
“I got the job”
Like a light through gasoline
[Pre-Chorus]
She jumps in my arms
We’re spinning
Kitchen floor turns to a ceiling
Says
“We can fix this
Really fix this”
I say
“This is how winning’s feeling”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
We’ll trade these nights of counting coins
For mornings where we’re counting time
No more praying that the card runs through
Just to keep the power line
[guitar solo]
[Bridge]
We circle dates on a brand new calendar
Talk too loud about the towns we’ll see
She earned every inch of this road we’re on
She carried my weight
Now she’s carrying me
[Chorus]

metal, Hybrid progressive metal meets dark alternative R&B. Down-tuned polymeter guitars lock with a swung, sub-heavy groove; verses stay low and menacing with sparse chords, intimate male vocals half-sung, half-spoken. Chorus detonates with wide distorted stacks, syncopated drums, and soaring top-line. Bridge strips to bass, filtered kit, and reverb-drenched lead guitar before a final full-band hit., electric, alternative r&b, progressive metal
