[Verse 1] I’ve been to the edge of the world and turned back, Saw how far the drop goes down. Stood there long enough to hear it call, Then dragged my shadow back to town. Too much dust in my eyes, Tears don’t fall, They dried up long ago. The walls don’t speak, They hum in vain, Like they know something I don’t know. [Pre-Chorus] Pressure keeps ticking like a clock, But no one’s forcing the issue anymore. I forgot my name inside the noise, Still found my boots beside the door. [Chorus] [Explosive, heavy fuzz guitars, raw belting vocals] STILL AROUND! Blood on my hands, feet on the ground. STILL AROUND! Six feet up, not underground. No clean hands, No fucking crown, Just dirt on my boots And I know this town. Count me out, Cut me loose, I’ve got nothing left to prove. You can kill the lights, But you can’t kill the sound. I’M STILL... STILL AROUND~. [Verse 2] Crackle, pop, and shake the frame, I’m done apologising for mistakes. Got life kicking hard inside my veins, Let it riot, let it ache. I’m tired and I’m young, That’s a dangerous combination. Got more of me left to come, And no patience left for preservation. Violet shades, a stolen view, Me and you on the inside. Push and pull until something breaks, At least we’ll know we fucking tried. [Pre-Chorus] [Building momentum] Around and around, same old ground, Ghosts calling out my name. Underneath the heavy static, Something in me stayed the same. [Chorus] [Full dynamic peak] STILL AROUND! Blood on my hands, feet on the ground. STILL AROUND! Six feet up, not underground. No clean hands, No fucking crown, Just dirt on my boots And I know this town. Count me out, Cut me loose, I’ve got nothing left to prove. You can kill the lights, But you can’t kill the sound. I’M STILL... STILL AROUND~. [Bridge] [Half-time tempo, stripped back, clean guitar] River Styx got nothing on you, I’ve stared across darker water. I’ve haunted every street I knew, Like somebody’s half-dead daughter. [Building] [Rising feedback and drums] But I don’t wanna haunt this place. I don’t wanna circle the same old truth. I’ve spent enough nights surviving... Now give me something I can choose. [Final Chorus] [Fast, chaotic energy, vocals pushing past the beat] STILL AROUND! Blood on my hands, feet on the ground. STILL AROUND! Not lost enough to stay unfound. Fuck clean hands, Fuck borrowed crowns, I didn’t crawl back from the edge Just to keep going round and round! [Climax] [Guitars drop out, bare voice, quiet tension] Give me the horizon plains, Give me that deeper, sweeter view. I don’t need another violet sky... I NEED A REASON TO STAY WITH YOU!
