[Verse 1]
I came up on cold floors
Bruises on my knuckles
Mama heard the hallway
I was out there, trouble
Try me, I bite back
Metal in my tone
I been feeding on the ache
Now the ache got a home
Dead eyes, wide grin
I don’t blink, I swear
Every scar on my face
Like a warning flare
They say “calm down”
I say “watch me”
I got a wild heart
And it wants to break free
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on my neck now
Still I rise up
Voice in my ribs like
“Come on, light up”
I can go low, low
I can go high
If I start to crack
Then I still fly
[Chorus]
Scream my name, scream it loud
I’m the fire in the crowd
Scream my name, scream it loud
I won’t back down, not now
High note cuts, low note bites
I’m alive in the fight
Scream my name, scream it loud
I won’t back down, not now
[Verse 2]
Black boots hit concrete
Head full of thunder
I been torn apart
Still I pull you under
Talk big, move quick
Then you fold fast
I’m a live wire
Built to outlast
Chest tight, throat raw
Still I make it sing
Every ugly little piece
Turns into a wing
If the room goes dark
I’m the spark you fear
I can scream through the pain
And still sound clear
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on my neck now
Still I rise up
Voice in my ribs like
“Come on, light up”
I can go low, low
I can go high
If I start to crack
Then I still fly
[Chorus]
Scream my name, scream it loud
I’m the fire in the crowd
Scream my name, scream it loud
I won’t back down, not now
High note cuts, low note bites
I’m alive in the fight
Scream my name, scream it loud
I won’t back down, not now
[Bridge]
[Drop to drums and voice]
Say you want that monster
Say you want that pain
I can wear the wreckage
And still keep my name
([high scream]) I don’t fold
([low growl]) I don’t fade
([high scream]) I don’t fold
([low growl]) I don’t fade
[Final Chorus]
Scream my name, scream it loud
I’m the fire in the crowd
Scream my name, scream it loud
I won’t back down, not now
High note cuts, low note bites
I’m alive in the fight
Scream my name, scream it loud
I won’t back down, not now
