[Verse 1]
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,
And I kept them all hidden just so I can 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 skin tastes heavy, like the weight of the past
Not sweet like the childish prayers 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
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 + guitars sharp]
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!
[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 4]
I’ve walked on glass and nails just to prove I can stand tall.
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
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 — I’ll tear holes through the night
[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
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
And I swear that it will, after all
[Outro, Strings fading, guitars snarling]
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
We’re gonna see if this bad boy can fly
