[Intro (piano flourish, tom roll, string stabs)] [Verse 1 (piano + chugs)] smooth veneers, practiced glow, paper crowns, parade for show, seen that trick, i’ve let it go, i want substance built for load [Pre-Chorus 1 (rising strings, triplet toms)] no more peacocks, no charade, strip the polish, prove the grade, bring grit, bring truth, unafraid, step up real or step away [Chorus 1 (choir pads, power hits)] only the spine, stand and stay, hold that line when storms press play, no soft retreat, no halfway, ONLY THE SPINE, earn your way [Verse 2 (drums busier, guitar replies)] promises cheap, i’ve paid that toll, gold-leaf talk with bargain soul, save that pitch, i’ve heard that roll, show me depth that takes control [Pre-Chorus 2 (bigger lift)] knock off posing, win your place, walk the grind at steady pace, back me up when walls embrace, prove that mettle, pass this race [Chorus 2 (higher harmonies)] only the spine, climb that grade, hold through heat, don’t fade, cut through fog, say less, stand plain, ONLY THE SPINE, unafraid [Break (drum fill, key-change prep)] [Bridge (half-time grandeur)] no myth in silk, no borrowed cape, give steady nerve when pressures shape, no exit plan, no quiet escape, bring the kind that doesn’t break [Guitar Solo (heroic, lyrical)] [Chorus 3 (key up, full choir)] ONLY THE SPINE, BRING THAT STEEL, carry the weight, outwork the rest, no hollow king, no fancy crest, ONLY THE SPINE, give your best [Outro (piano tag, tom cadence, choir “ahh”s)]
