[Verse 1] Shift the gear, the redline’s screaming Cutting through the static dreaming Neutral is a coffin, a silent, slow decay The ghosts of all the cautious ones are blocking up the way You’re clutching at the safety rail, white-knuckled in the dark But a ship is just a prison if it never leaves the mark [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look for the exit, don’t look for the shore The less that you wager, the less there is for The hollow and the heavy, they’re weighing on the soul If you never lose your grip, you’ll never have control! [Chorus] To save your soul is to let it rust; The only way out is through the dust A calculated silence is a living kind of death Hold the line through the fire, let the pressure turn to stone In the vault of the brave, you are never alone Diamond hands in the furnace, let the weak spirits flee To find what you are, lose the ghost of who you used to be! [Verse 2] The Hangar doors are pulsing with a frantic, jagged beat The vultures on the perimeter are smelling your retreat They’ll tell you it’s a fever, they’ll tell you it’s a sin To burn the map behind you just to find the light within But the gold is in the chaos, the truth is in the rift The fragile only legacy is the gear that’s stripped to bone [Pre-Chorus] So tighten up the wire, let the voltage start to climb There isn’t any mercy in the corridors of time The less that you wager, the less there is for The hollow and the heavy, they’re weighing on the soul! [Chorus 2] To hoard the spark is to kill the flame The price of the prize is the ghost of your name Hold the line through the fire, let the pressure turn to stone In the vault of the brave, you are never alone Diamond hands in the furnace, let the weak spirits flee To find what you are, lose the ghost of who you used to be! [Bridge] Cling to the spark! Hold through the dark! To hoard the flame is to kill the light You’re trading your fire for a seat in the night! Everything you save is just a weight upon your back Everything you give away is everything you lack! [Outro] Hold it. Hold it. Refuse to break. The ultimate stake. The cost of the shore is the soul of the sea Bet the marrow on the bone to finally be free. Empty the clip. Leave nothing for retreat. Or lose everything!
