(Verse 1) Lately my luck’s been running dry, Nothing sweet has passed me by. You said I look alright, I know — Don’t trust the face I show. (Pre-Chorus) Listen close, don’t read my grin, There’s a storm beneath my skin. Love and poker — same old crime, I’ve been losing both this time. (Chorus) I don’t let go when I hold on tight, I don’t glue fast when I break at night. Madness laughing in the glass, Heart on a launchpad — built to crash. (Verse 2) Hear me out, I’m telling you straight, They burned my soul on a cheap parade. Mr. This and Lady That, Fake applause and plastic chat. (Pre-Chorus) Don’t get fooled by how I smile, I’ve been bleeding for a while. Love and gambling — same damn fight, I lost them both in broad daylight. (Chorus) I don’t let go when I hold on tight, I don’t heal fast when I split inside. Madness dancing in my head, Heart on a launchpad — seeing red. (Bridge – chant energy) Never bowed to their parade, Never bought the games they played. Never sang the lies they sell, Let their market go to hell. (Final Chorus – bigger, gang vocal) I don’t let go when I hold on tight, I don’t rise clean from every fight. Madness staring back at me, Heart on a launchpad — set it free.
