[Pre-Chorus | rising tension | wah-wah accents | drums building to the backbeat]
I've been strong enough to see
But the past is burning me
And yet my pride still stays a fault
Because the night that forced my hand

[Chorus | full band | crash cymbals | double-kick drive]
Life is burning on
Been what I need
This is the fuel that keeps me alive
I've been fighting on
Holding on tight
But I made it through the flames and won

[Verse 2 | tighter, darker palm-muted drive]
I've been facing every line
Like a feelin' all the time
I been chasin' every sound in sight
Where the chaos never finds
I've been waiting for someone
Just to break the dark and win
Cause every time I breathe it in I find
There's nothin' left to give

[Guitar Solo - Pentatonic Peak] [High-octane pentatonic lead, pinch harmonics and feedback swells over driving double-kick and heavy sub-bass]

[Final Chorus | biggest drums | gang vocals on the hook | wide-panned wall of sound]
Life is burning on
Been what I need
This was the fuel that kept me alive
I've been fighting on
Holding on tight
And I made it through the flames and won

[Breakdown | clean guitar] [Distortion drops away. A single clean electric guitar carries the space, synth pad glowing underneath, feedback swell returning distant and soft.]
Mmm-mm, mm-mm-mm
I was there
I was fine
I was caught between the lines.
[pause]
And I was fine...

[pause]
And I was fine...

[Outro - Exciting, fiery electric guitar and drum ending]

[Verse 1] I taught myself distance While I'm still breathing Nobody knows the weight I carried then You'd always listen for the past But it isn't coming back Haven't found a place I know Some nights I still watch that door [Pre-Chorus | rising tension | wah-wah accents | drums building to the backbeat] I've been strong enough to see But the past is burning me And yet my pride still stays a fault Because the night that forced my hand [Chorus | full band | crash cymbals | double-kick drive] Life is burning on Been what I need This is the fuel that keeps me alive I've been fighting on Holding on tight But I made it through the flames and won [Verse 2 | tighter, darker palm-muted drive] I've been facing every line Like a feelin' all the time I been chasin' every sound in sight Where the chaos never finds I've been waiting for someone Just to break the dark and win Cause every time I breathe it in I find There's nothin' left to give [Pre-Chorus | rising tension | wah-wah accents | drums building to the backbeat] I've been strong enough to see But the past is burning me And yet my pride still stays a fault Because the night that forced my hand [Chorus | full band | crash cymbals | double-kick drive] Life is burning on Been what I need This is the fuel that keeps me alive I've been fighting on Holding on tight But I made it through the flames and won [Guitar Solo - Pentatonic Peak] [High-octane pentatonic lead, pinch harmonics and feedback swells over driving double-kick and heavy sub-bass] [Final Chorus | biggest drums | gang vocals on the hook | wide-panned wall of sound] Life is burning on Been what I need This was the fuel that kept me alive I've been fighting on Holding on tight And I made it through the flames and won [Breakdown | clean guitar] [Distortion drops away.
