[Verse 1]
I woke up bent, not broken
Knuckles white on the rail
Bad thoughts crowd the doorway
Tryna make me fail
But I still got a pulse
Still got iron in my chest
Still got one more mile
And I won’t lay down yet
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get my feet
You don’t get my name
I’ve been through the fire
I know the shape of pain
It leans on my shoulder
It calls me by the old low sound
I grit my teeth and answer
I’m not going out
[Chorus]
Keep my ground
Keep my ground
I won’t fold now
I won’t fold now
Keep my ground
Keep my ground
I’m still moving
Still moving
[Verse 2]
There’s a crack in the armor
Where the cold slips in
That’s where I put my hands now
That’s where I begin
One breath, one step
One heavy beat at a time
I drag my name through the mud
Then I make it mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get my feet
You don’t get my name
I’ve been through the fire
I know the shape of pain
It leans on my shoulder
It calls me by the old low sound
I grit my teeth and answer
I’m not going out
[Chorus]
Keep my ground
Keep my ground
I won’t fold now
I won’t fold now
Keep my ground
Keep my ground
I’m still moving
Still moving
[Bridge]
Let the dark come close
I know what it is
I’ve seen the wolf in the mirror
And I still live
Raise the bow high
Let the strings burn loud
I was built from the pressure
I’m not backing down
[Final Chorus]
Keep my ground
Keep my ground
I won’t fold now
I won’t fold now
Keep my ground
Keep my ground
I’m still moving
Still moving
Keep my ground
Keep my ground
This is my road
This is my road
