[Intro]
Rust on the crown
Ash on the banner
We bled in the trenches
Just to feel something
[Verse 1]
Cold steel
On this shaking hand
Carved scars
Like a battle plan
I stitched my heart
With a broken chain
Held tight
Till it snapped again
[Chorus]
Stand tall, one and all
Raise your wounds like armor
Every crack in your chest
Is a place for the light to fall
Stand tall, one and all
From the dust of the downfall
We were made, we were made
We were made not to crawl
[Verse 2]
[low vocal register]
Dark thoughts
Like a marching drum
Same ghosts
But they talk in tongues
I wore my guilt
Like an iron mask
Tore skin
Just to feel it crack
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands shake, but the earth still turns
Heart breaks, but the fire still burns
If the sky caves in
We’ll hold it with our hurting
[Chorus]
[Rap Bridge]
I was knee-deep, chest-deep
In the deep tombs of my head
Every promise, every secret
Like a stone on my chest
Screaming into empty rooms
Waiting for an echo back
Now the echo is an army
And we’re roaring on the track (yeah)
If your tears hit the floor
Let ’em thunder, let ’em fall
We’re the choir in the chaos
We’re the cracks in every wall
[Chorus]
