[Intro] (glitching) (yeah) Static in the wires, system’s on the edge Wub bass humming like a storm in my head Crowd starts buzzing when the kick hits clean Lights start cutting through the smoke machine (three, two, one, drop) [Verse 1] Night after night we circle the same scene Too close to call, we balance on that thin beam Innocence burned, every turn is gasoline Quiet but sharp, that cut stays in between And still I almost call out your name [Chorus] Walled inside this tidal rage So don’t ever let the bad guys see you cry Just walk away And wipe away the teardrops from your eyes And seize the day [Verse 2] Yeah, look Time and time again in the lion’s den I’ve been scribblin’ in the margins just to find my pen Crystal-clear, got a vision that’s my only friend Turn the volume on the trauma just to make it bend Every hallway, every city start to look the same Different hoodies, different faces but they feel the flame In the shadows where the hurt don’t ever get a name So we numb it with the neon and we call it game Yeah, you can hear me when I’m caught in the rain Every echo in the static still recalls your name [Chorus] Walled inside this tidal rage So don’t ever let the bad guys see you cry Just walk away And wipe away the teardrops from your eyes And seize the day [Bridge] Don’t you ever let the bad guys see you cry Just walk away And wipe away the teardrops from your eyes And seize the day [Guitar Solo] (wub-wub) (hey!) [Outro] Don’t you ever let the bad guys see you cry Just walk away And wipe away the teardrops from your eyes And seize the day Don’t ever let the bad guys see you cry Just walk away Wipe away the teardrops from your eyes And seize the day (yeah) (drop) (acoustic ghost in the digital fade)
