[Verse 1]
Alarm at six
Cold air
Sore limbs
Same cracked screen
Same uphill thing
Tie my laces
Heart runs first
Mom says “careful”
I say “it’ll work”
[Chorus]
I’m a skyline breaker
Running past the fear I made
Every fall
I’ll climb back higher
Scars turning into silver chains
If the road goes dark and shaky
I will draw a brand new way
I’m a skyline breaker
I won’t fade
I won’t fade
[Verse 2]
Test scores
Rumors
Laughs in halls
Their sharp words
Still can’t stall
Hands keep shaking
But I don’t hide
Ink-stained fingers
Dreams outlined
[Chorus]
I’m a skyline breaker
Running past the fear I made
Every fall
I’ll climb back higher
Scars turning into silver chains
If the road goes dark and shaky
I will draw a brand new way
I’m a skyline breaker
I won’t fade
I won’t fade
[Bridge]
[Drums drop out
Clean guitar picks softly]
Soft voice in my chest says “stay”
Louder voice says “run away”
I breathe in once
Choose to stay
Choose to stay
If my legs give out
I’ll crawl
If my voice cracks
I’ll still call
To that future
Waiting just beyond the wall
[Chorus]
I’m a skyline breaker
Running past the fear I made
Every fall
I’ll climb back higher
Scars turning into silver chains
If the night feels cold and weighty
I will light my own new day
I’m a skyline breaker
I won’t fade
I won’t fade (hey!)
[Outro]
[Full band hits
Sustained guitar]
I won’t fade
I won’t fade
Skyline breaker
All the way
