[Intro] [Verse 1] Dust on the strings, but the room still rings Old wood breathing through broken things I carried that tune where the cold winds crawl Now I’m turning that hush into a battle call [Pre-Chorus] You hear the tremor under every word A buried engine waking beneath the dirt [Chorus] I won’t fold, I won’t fade Turn the quiet into a blade When the ground gives way below I become the undertow [Verse 2] I came from a place where the doors stayed shut Learned to make a meal from a paper cup Had a head full of doubt and a back full of blame Now I’m kicking through the frame, putting fire to the name No handouts, no crown, no borrowed lane I built this pulse from the pressure and pain Every setback stamped like a mark on the skin You can count me out once, never count me again [Chorus] I won’t fold, I won’t fade Turn the quiet into a blade When the ground gives way below I become the undertow [Bridge] Let it break Let it burn Every lesson has a price to learn I’m still here I’m still loud Pulling thunder from the ground [Final Chorus] I won’t fold, I won’t fade Turn the quiet into a blade When the ground gives way below I become the undertow [Outro] The old tune survives But it speaks with heavier fire
