Shut Up and Dance

[Verse 1] Ceiling splits in fluorescent lines Cold air bites the back of my mind Room packed tight, I measure each breath Keep my jaw set, keep my hands steady Shoes strike tile, faces turn Nobody asks what the silence earns You wear that grin like a loaded dare I read the room; I know who's scared [Pre-Chorus] Don't name it Don't feed it Hold your ground, let it pass Eyes forward Stay ready When it breaks, break back [Chorus] Shut up and dance While the floor gives way Shut up and dance Keep your eyes on me Hands up high Teeth set tight If the whole thing comes down We go down upright Shut up and dance [Verse 2] Mirror shakes; I don't look away Count every crack, keep the count in place Skin runs hot, but my voice stays low You want a tell; I don't let it show Laugh cuts short, then the room goes still I keep my word; I keep my will If I stop, they can close that gap So I step once more, no looking back [Pre-Chorus] Don't name it Don't feed it Hold your ground, let it pass Eyes forward Stay ready When it breaks, break back [Chorus] Shut up and dance While the floor gives way Shut up and dance Keep your eyes on me Hands up high Teeth set tight If the whole thing comes down We go down upright Shut up and dance [Bridge] One more turn One more breath Keep your balance Hold the line No retreat No excuse You know exactly What you chose [Dropout] [Final Chorus] Shut up and dance When the walls cave in Shut up and dance Let the pressure begin Hands up high Fear held tight If the dark comes through Make it face us tonight Shut up and dance [Outro] Shut up and dance No step back Shut up and dance Stand your ground [Instrumental]
