[Intro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Woke up with the engine stuck in my throat
Every promise I swallowed came back as smoke
My reflection's a stranger with a familiar grin
And I keep digging deeper just to find where I begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I'm the cure
Maybe I'm the hammer and the nail in the floor
[Chorus]
Burn it down and build it back
Bleed it out and take it black
No more standing on the sidelines
No more living on the backroads
I refuse to fade
I refuse to fade
[Drop]
Fade
Fade
I refuse to fade
[Verse 2]
Shadows talk in circles when the night gets long
Every echo tells me I've been singing the wrong song
These walls they listen closer than the friends I know
So I'll paint my own sky let the color show
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm the fire
Maybe I'm the flood
Maybe I'm the blood still pumping through the mud
[Chorus]
Burn it down and build it back
Bleed it out and take it black
No more standing on the sidelines
No more living on the backroads
I refuse to fade
I refuse to fade
[Drop]
Fade
Fade
I refuse to fade
[Bridge]
(Vocalizing low and building)
Ooh
Ooh
If the ground won't hold me
Then I'll learn to fly
If the door won't open
Then I'll break it wide
[Chorus]
Burn it down and build it back
Bleed it out and take it black
No more standing on the sidelines
No more living on the backroads
I refuse to fade
I refuse to fade
I refuse to fade
I refuse to fade
