Shadow Moves

[Intro] They said Play it safe Pray small Die quiet But I was born With a rumor in my ribs That said Move [Verse 1] Street in my chest Potholes in my past Every scar on my name Like a stamp on a passport I learned courage From overdue bills From doors that locked When I grabbed the handle I don’t chase fear I drag it By the collar Across the border of my comfort Yeah, they talk about destiny I talk about Stepping out When my knees still shake (uh) I am the risk Your parents warned you about The one who left the harbor With a leaking boat I looked at the odds They looked back I blinked last I’m still here [Chorus] This is for the move makers Shadow walkers Soul shakers Heart on the table, hands in the fire Risk-takers Line breakers Graveyard of my past, I build it higher Every step on the edge Takes me further from the liar Move makin’ Risk takin’ If fear is the lock Then I’m the breaker [Verse 2] I walked through a night So long The sun forgot my name Silence so loud I could hear My excuses breathing On that road Every sign said “Turn back” Every memory said “Stay small” Every demon held a mirror What did I see? A tired face A trembling jaw A pulse that refused to retire So I bet the last chip On the quiet part of me The one that whispers “Jump first, build wings falling” I have traded comfort For stories Regret For bruises that glow in the dark Some days I win Some days I learn But I don’t bow To the version of me that never tried (never tried) [Chorus] This is for the move makers Shadow walkers Soul shakers Heart on the table, hands in the fire Risk-takers Line breakers Graveyard of my past, I build it higher Every step on the edge Takes me further from the liar Move makin’ Risk takin’ If fear is the lock Then I’m the breaker [Bridge] So listen If the path ahead is blacker Than the thoughts you’re scared to think If every friend Suddenly sounds like a warning label And every breath feels borrowed That’s your call That’s your summons That’s your storm ticket Take it Walk in shaking Speak in stutters Move in pieces But move (move) Because safety is a slow funeral And you were carved For a louder ending [Chorus] This is for the move makers Shadow walkers Soul shakers Heart on the table, hands in the fire Risk-takers Line breakers Graveyard of my past, I build it higher Every step on the edge Takes me further from the liar Move makin’ Risk takin’ If fear is the lock Then I’m the breaker Forever the breaker
