[Intro] [Fast driving surf bassline] [Reverb-drenched twangy electric guitar riff] [Verse] The ceremony’s hanging on the line, Fuel pooling by my boots. The law took your shadow away this morning, Should’ve locked the rest of you up too. The weight you left is turning pale, Guess the skin finally learned to bend. A mind can carry a heavy house... 'Til the floors give way at the end. [Pre-Chorus] [Guitar chords chop fast] Ain't no second draft of this. Ain't no "listen to me breathe." You can choke on the air you stole, I am standing on my own two feet. [Chorus] [Full band explosion, cinematic surf rock] I'm gonna strike this match! Watch the history bleed! Watch every single debt you drew Get exactly what it needs! You can keep the hollow frame, You can keep the iron ring! This isn't a walk down the aisle... It's a burning ceremony! By the time the smoke clears out, I'll be past the state line. [Verse] [Dark tremolo guitar riff] You loved the dark more than the daylight, Loved your gravity more than my name. Every single midnight hour Ended up the exact same way. One more fracture to keep inside, One more alibi to spin. You can rule over your empty room, I am shedding all this skin. [Guitar Solo] [Wild raw 1960s garage surf guitar solo] [Bridge] [Driving bass beat and handclaps] You swore the anchor would hold me down, Said I’d never find the shore. Guess you finally calculated, baby, What I was keeping score for! Go on and rattle the loose hinges, Go on and tear at the floor. Ain't nobody left to break in here... You can fight your own damn war! [Chorus] [Maximum intensity, outlaw country swagger] I'm gonna strike this match! Watch the history bleed! Watch every single debt you drew Get exactly what it needs! You can keep the hollow frame, You can keep the iron ring! This isn't a walk down the aisle... It's a burning ceremony! [Outro] [Fast surf riffs, high-tempo energy] Go on and feed your own monsters! Go on and curse my name! The only thing you're guarding now... Is a pile of ash and blame! [Big dramatic finish] [End]
