[Intro] Yeah Mm-mm I know you there [Verse 1] Boots by the door But I don’t go You bang on my ribs Like you got a keyhole Late-night weight In my jawbone Smile on my face But my hands won’t stay calm Mama said pray So I pray hard Still I wake up With a bruise on my heart You in my shadow You in my stall You in the mirror When I wash it off [Pre-Chorus] I hear that stomp in the floorboard I feel that storm in my blood If I don’t fight for my own name You gonna take what I love I hold my ground I don’t fold now Say it loud I’m not owned now [Chorus] I keep swingin’ at the dark Swingin’ at the dark I keep swingin’ at the dark You won’t take my heart Swingin’ at the dark Swingin’ at the dark I keep swingin’ at the dark Till the fear falls apart [Verse 2] You come dressed up Like a friend to me Sweet talk, slick grin Then you switch on me Try to sell lies In a cheap suit Try to plant doubt Like a weed root I got scars But I got grit too Mud on my knees Still I push through If you want my soul Better come real close I’ve been through hell And I still won’t go [Pre-Chorus] I hear that stomp in the floorboard I feel that storm in my blood If I don’t fight for my own name You gonna take what I love I hold my ground I don’t fold now Say it loud I’m not owned now [Chorus] I keep swingin’ at the dark Swingin’ at the dark I keep swingin’ at the dark You won’t take my heart Swingin’ at the dark Swingin’ at the dark I keep swingin’ at the dark Till the fear falls apart [Bridge] I’ve cried in the truck bed Hands on the wheel Tried to outrun What I can’t outfeel But I’m still here Yeah, I’m still here Name in my mouth And I’m standing near You can knock You can shout You can come back round But I found my feet And I’m holding ground [Final Chorus] I keep swingin’ at the dark Swingin’ at the dark I keep swingin’ at the dark You won’t take my heart Swingin’ at the dark Swingin’ at the dark I keep swingin’ at the dark Till the fear falls apart [Outro] Mm-mm Still standing Still standing
