[Verse 1 clean]
I swore my oath in the silence of many backseat nights
Stamped my star of fame where the concrete bleeds
Every single lie that I carry I’ve sharpened twice,
I kept them all hidden to pretend I can still be me.
[Verse 2]
I saw my face in the cracks of a shattered mirror
Every second of a stare was a dare I knew
Your taste is now heavy, like the weight of the past
It’s Not sweet like the childish dreams we outgrew
[Chorus]
Wait, don’t go
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
Wait, don’t go
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
’Cause I heard that it can, after all
[[Verse 3]
I built my bed in the deep, dark din of the lion’s den
Raised by the wolves, sheep’s clothing won’t make me them
Every scar is in a ledger I keep, to return again
And I rise with a curse on my name ’til the credit’s end.
[Bridge 1, Strings tense + sharp notes]
Now that you’re here I can stand again
Now that you’re here I can break again
Now that you’re here I can scream again
Now that you’re here — God, I can see again!
[Verse 4]
I’ve walked on glass and nails just to prove I can stand tall.
Remember You Bit my tongue till it split in fucking two
Every promise I meant to keep was a push to the fall
But I’d rather hit rock bottom harder than anyone you knew.
[Chorus – Heavier, strings soaring]
Wait, don’t go
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
Wait, don’t go
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
And I swear that it will, after all
[Bridge 2, darker, more violent]
If I crawl, let me crawl with the dirt in my teeth
If I fall, let me fall where the shadows don’t speak
If I bleed, let it stain every word that I write
If I fly —then we’ll fly, guided by blue moonlight.
[Chorus – Final, full force]
Wait, don’t go
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
Wait, don’t go
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
And I promise that it will, after all
[Outro, Strings fading, guitars snarling, feedback]
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
