[Intro – Synth Pulse & Muted Guitar] Dancing with the breakdown Under city lights I’m wide awake in silence Fighting with my mind [Verse 1 – Vocal B] The streets are full of strangers But I feel alone inside Every window hides a secret Every shadow learns to lie I keep walking past the places Where we used to feel alive Now the lights are only blinking Like they’re barely trying to shine [Verse 2 – Vocal A] I got panic in my bloodstream I got static in my chest I keep smiling for the cameras Like I’m not a nervous wreck There’s a message on the pavement There’s a warning in the rain Saying, “You can keep on running But you’ll meet yourself again” [Pre-Chorus – Vocal A & B] So turn it up Let the whole night break I’ve had enough Of pretending I’m okay [Chorus – Vocal C] I’m dancing with the breakdown Burning through the night I’ve been lost in my own head Trying to feel alive If the dark keeps getting louder If I fall before I rise I’ll keep moving through the damage Dancing with the breakdown tonight [Post-Chorus – All] Oh-oh, breakdown tonight Oh-oh, still searching for the light [Verse 3 – Vocal B] There’s a song inside the static There’s a heartbeat in the floor Maybe I was never empty Maybe I just wanted more [Verse 4 – Vocal A] I’m not waiting for a rescue I’m not begging for a sign I’ll make peace with all the chaos If it means the scars are mine [Bridge – Vocal C, stripped and emotional] I hear my name in the wires I see my past in the glow I built a house out of fire Then wondered why I felt cold [Vocal B – soft] Maybe I don’t need the answer Maybe I just need the truth [Vocal A – rising] Maybe all this broken thunder Is the sound of breaking through [Final Chorus – All, Vocal C lead] I’m dancing with the breakdown Burning through the night I’ve been lost in my own head Trying to feel alive If the dark keeps getting louder If I fall before I rise I’ll keep moving through the damage Dancing with the breakdown tonight [Outro – Vocal A, soft distorted] Dancing with the breakdown Fading into blue I was running from the darkness Till it led me back to truth
