[intro]
[haunting guitar riff]

(Hold my breath — feel my chest caving in)

[haunting riff]

(Sink or swim — I was born just to drown in this)

[haunting guitar solo]

[pre-verse]
I woke up to a world that already hated me
No handouts, no favors, just blood on my teeth
[verse]
I got used to the silence when they all turned their backs
Now it’s me vs the void and I’m ready to crack
Drifting through a sky made of broken glass
Counting every scar that I can’t get past
You can build your heaven, I’ll sleep in the rain
Cuz I only feel alive when I'm bleeding through the pain
[bridge]
Cut the ropes, break the chains off my lungs
Swear to GOD, I’ll burn before I bite my tongue
You wanna see me fall?
Better pray I stay down —

[interlude]
Cuz if I stand back up,
I’ll tear this Hole place down!

[Hook]
WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL
(I WON’T FALL!!)
Pressure in my chest but I’m standing tall
BURY ME UNDER IT ALL
(I’LL CRAWL!!)
One breath, one fight
no way out,
but I won’t stall

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm just a ghost in a place that forgot me
Maybe I'm the fire you can't put out...
If there’s no way out,
Then I’ll build one with my broken hands...

(no way out.....)

[Breakdown]
IF THE WORLD WANTS WAR THEN I’LL BECOME A CROWN OF THORNS!!!
NO WAY OUT!!
NO WAY OUT!!

(Watch me turn these wounds into a fucking throne!)

(oh.....)

(Ooooh......)

[haunting instrumental breakdown]

[build]

(aaaaaaahh!!!!)
(oh!)

BLEGH!?
[break]

[Hook]
WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL
(I WON’T FALL!!)
Pressure in my chest but I’m standing tall
BURY ME UNDER IT ALL
(I’LL CRAWL!!)
One breath, one fight
no way out,
but I won’t stall

[Rap]
You want the smoke?
You want the pain?
You want a body that won't break?
You built a cage —
You built the walls —
You've got the bullets with my name!

(OH!)

I bled, I begged, I broke, I rose —
I cracked, I snapped, I fought alone —
(AND STILL I STOOD — ALONE!!)

[Chorus]
WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL
(I WON’T FALL!!)
WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL 
(I WON’T FALL!!)
BURY ME UNDER IT ALL(I’LL CRAWL!!)
BURY ME UNDER IT ALL
 (I’LL CRAWL!!)
ONE BREATH, ONE FIGHT
NO WAY OUT
BUT I WON’T STALL!!!
