Catching The World On Fire

Catching the World on Fire

(Verse 1)

I was born with static in my bloodstream veins,

Teeth on the pavement, addicted to pain,

Every scar’s a map of the roads I survived,

Everybody watched but nobody asked why.

I kept a fistful of thunder under my skin,

Smiled for the cameras while the war lived within,

Built from the ashes of every slammed door,

Now I don’t bleed the same anymore.

(Pre-Chorus)

You can bury me deep beneath your doubt,

But pressure makes monsters when they claw back out.

(Chorus)

I’m catching the world on fire tonight,

Throwing sparks in the dead of the night,

Let the sky come apart, let the whole thing break,

I spent too many years learning how to take.

Now I’m screaming my name through the smoke and the wire,

Standing in the wreckage getting higher and higher,

If I’m going down, I’m taking the darkness with me—

I’m catching the world on fire.

(Verse 2)

I know what it feels like to drown while you breathe,

To wear chains nobody else can see,

To stare at a mirror and not know the face,

To feel your own heartbeat and still feel erased.

But there’s a beast in the bones that never died,

A riot in the soul I could never hide,

I hear it scratching at the back of my head,

Saying, “You ain’t finished till the fear is dead.”

(Breakdown)

Burn it down.

Burn the lies.

Burn the voices in disguise.

I was made from broken dreams and gasoline—

Now watch me ignite everything.

(Final Chorus)

I’m catching the world on fire tonight,

No more hiding from the war inside,

If the stars wanna fall let them rain like bombs,

I’ve carried this weight for way too long.

Now I’m screaming my name through the smoke and the wire,

Standing in the wreckage getting higher and higher—

And if I leave a mark, let it cut right through time…

I didn’t come back to survive.

I came back to burn alive.
