[Verse 1] Dead phones keep on ringing The radio spits rust Red lights choke the crossing Every road is locked They gave me a number And taught my face to smile But something in my heartbeat Has been awake all this time [Pre-Chorus] Am I alive If I only obey? There’s a fire under my skin Tonight I choose my way [Chorus] Override, override You never owned my life Break through the silence I’m running toward the light Knock me down I’ll rise through the flame No command Can erase my name No heaven above me No hand at my side The road that I choose Keeps me alive [Verse 2] I woke beneath the wreckage Dust burning in my lungs Black birds on the power lines Still spoke in dead tongues Don’t ask me why I’m living I don’t owe you a sign A spark survives the flood The choice to move is mine [Pre-Chorus] Take everything you came to steal You’ll never own the fire I feel [Refrain] Override, override You never owned my life Knock me down I’ll rise through the flame No command Can erase my name [Emergency Radio Transmission] [Clean spoken voice, thin mono AM-radio filter, static hiss, signal crackle] KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT NO QUESTIONS NO WILL COMPLY REPEAT DISAPPEAR [Radio Signal Cuts Out] [Clean dry voice] No. [4-Bar Guitar-Synth Break] [Build] I’d rather stand alone Than live the life you chose Every wall becomes a road The moment I say no [Final Chorus] Override, override I never belonged to you I broke through the silence Now my voice is coming through Strike me down I’ll rise and run again No command Can erase my name No promise of heaven No proof I’ll survive But the road toward the light Is the reason I’m alive Override My life is mine.
