[Verse 1]
I was born in the back of a dead-end year
Hand-me-down hope and a hand-me-down fear
They said "know your place"
I said "watch this face"

[Pre-Chorus]
Every bruise
Another blueprint
Every doubt
Another fuse lit

[Chorus]
I’m gonna break the world open
With these two bare hands
With this raw
Wild heart
Turn every “never” into metal I can bend
I’m gonna break the world open
If it scares me
Then that’s where I start
You’ll feel the shock when I refuse to break
I bend

[Verse 2]
They drew small lines
Tried to cage my sky
Built low ceilings over my bright eyes
So I climbed their walls
Made my own high dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
A new city light
Every fall
Another takeoff flight

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Say my name in the dark if you’re tired of losing
I was made for the fire
For the hard choosing
[whispered vocals] One breath
One step
Then [crescendo] RUN
We’re the thunder they forgot would come

[Chorus]
