[Verse 1] Blue lights, head down I see the corner, baby Too much pressure on my chest But I won't walk like everybody Your number still burns On the screen like a mistake You say I'm way too far away But I'm getting closer every day They wanna see me in the dust With my hands above my head But I only learn from scars I won't pay them with regret [Chorus] Blue lights, head down tonight Blue lights, head down, city comes alive Blue lights when the road burns bright Blue lights, baby, we keep moving through the night Blue lights, head down, I swear Blue lights, hear my heartbeat everywhere Blue lights when the judge speaks cold Brother, believe me, I won't break, I won't fold [Verse 2] Streetlamps flicker, and the mirror shows my face Every file becomes a story, every story leaves a trace I learned that every cell can rearrange your dreams While somebody outside lives like nothing's what it seems No more cards left in the game, just laws beneath my skin No heroes in the holding room, just courage wearing thin Every look behind the glass, every day another duel Between the man I used to be and what I won't become So I walk across the yard, every footstep made of stone But my heart keeps saying softly, don't let this become your home Even when they lock you in, your will can still be strong Brother, write your name across the walls and prove them wrong [Chorus] Blue lights, head down tonight Blue lights, head down, city comes alive Blue lights when the road burns bright Blue lights, baby, we keep moving through the night Blue lights, head down, I swear Blue lights, hear my heartbeat everywhere Blue lights when the judge speaks cold Brother, believe me, I won't break, I won't fold [Verse 3] I learned these iron bars can narrow how you see But the hunger for tomorrow keeps the air inside of me The road of a sinner never earns an angel's praise But your name inside my chest still shields me from the blaze Friends arrive, friends disappear when the gates are closed But your picture in my mind gives me somewhere to breathe slow Fire behind my eyes, winter in my stare Every visit brings me piece by piece back there To the child who once dreamed of having wings to fly Of a ride without the sirens, without metal by his side But the truth cuts harder than the pounding in my chest So I hold on to you, babe, and give it everything I've got left [Bridge] When the world catches fire and the dark pulls near When the walls of this cell try to drain away your courage Listen deep inside your heart, where the silence starts You'll hear my voice still calling, small but never lost [Final Chorus] Blue lights, head down tonight Blue lights, head down, city comes alive Blue lights when the road burns bright Blue lights, baby, we keep moving through the night Blue lights, head down, I swear Blue lights, hear my heartbeat everywhere Blue lights when the judge speaks cold Brother, believe me, I won't break, I won't fold
