Breaking Harder (Down With The Ship)

(ba-da-da-da-da-da… heavy kick/snare build)

⸻

We set sail on open waters, hearts like fire, eyes on gold

Built a castle on the shoreline, never thought it could erode

But the tide came crashing harder, lightning struck without a sound

Now we’re dancing in the wreckage, watching everything go down

⸻

Every fight’s another wave, breaking harder than before

But I won’t jump, I’m holding fast—yeah, I’m bracing for the storm

⸻

If we’re going down, I’ll go down with the ship

Shout it out loud, let the waves hear this

We can sink or swim, but I won’t let go

Better drown together than be alone

If we’re going down, I’ll go down with the ship

⸻

Every scar’s another story, painted red across the mast

We were reckless, we were fearless, but we swore we’d make it last

Now the lifeboats drift to nowhere, but I’m staying here with you

Even if the ocean swallows every dream we ever knew

⸻

Every word’s a cannonball, every tear’s another flame

But I’ll stay until the end—yeah, I’ll go out screaming your name

⸻

If we’re going down, I’ll go down with the ship

Raise your voice now, let the dark seas rip

We can sink or swim, but I won’t let go

Better drown together than be alone

If we’re going down, I’ll go down with the ship

⸻

(Guitars crunch, heavy tom fills, crowd claps along)

Lead guitar plays soaring melody line

Drums cut out — crowd chanting “Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!”

⸻

Woah-oh, the storm is calling

Woah-oh, but I’m not falling

Better lost with you than safe on shore

This burning ship is worth it more

⸻

If we’re going down, I’ll go down with the ship

Hands in the air, let the whole world hear it

We can sink or swim, but I won’t let go

Better drown together than die alone

If we’re going down, yeah we’re going down

If we’re going down, I’ll go down with the ship!

⸻

Woah-oh-oh, I’ll go down with the ship

Woah-oh-oh, I’ll go down with the ship

(Guitars ring out, big crash, fade to silence)
