[Intro] [building guitar] [Verse 1] They say the lights went out On stages no one needs They say we're relics now Dust collecting on our knees But these hands won't stop moving Even when the seats are bare They can call us dead and buried We're still breathing over here [Pre-Chorus] You think we didn't hear you Think we didn't feel that blade Every word that cuts us Hardens what we've made [Chorus] We still care [gang vocals] We still care When nobody's watching We still care Every empty theater Every song you never hear You can say that no one's listening We still care [Verse 2] They want us gone and quiet Want to lay us in the ground They wrote our obituary Before we made a sound But you don't kill a fire By pretending it's not there You just make us burn in private Till we're burning everywhere [Pre-Chorus] You think that we'll just fade out Think we'll take the hint and leave The art you call forgettable Is the only thing I need [Chorus] We still care [gang vocals] We still care When nobody's watching We still care Every empty theater Every song you never hear You can say that no one's listening We still care [Bridge] [defiant, building] So what if I'm the last one Still dancing in the dark So what if no one's watching I've still got this spark [building harder] And when this stage goes silent I'll make my final stand The last one still believing With this fire in my hands [Final Chorus] [explosive] We still care! [gang vocals] We still care! When nobody's watching We still care! Every empty theater Every song you'll never hear You can tell us no one's listening We still care! [gang vocals repeat] We still care! We still care! We still care! [Outro] [fading chant] Still care... still care...
