Burn it Down Songtext
von King Rooster

Neon flicker in a gas station mirror
Blood on my hoodie breath drawing nearer
Three am silence a smoke in my hand
Boots on the gravel where the breakdown began
Dead phone buzzin′ with the texts I won't read
Heart like a lockpick picking up speed
Skate park ghosts where we used to hang tight
Now it′s just me and the streetlight fight
I spit truth through a cracked molar grin
Truth don't heal but it cuts through skin
They said be quiet but my static got louder
Pain turned fuel and the fuse caught powder
Corner of chaos and don't go back
Spray paint prayers on a railroad track
Every bar′s a flare in the rearview smoke
You hear that beat that′s the part I wrote


I've been torn between halos and chains
Between verses and veins between stages and flames
If I break let it all break loud
Cause my cracks let the light hit the crowd
I fell to the fire scraped raw from the fall
Ruin′s cold grip but I answered the call
Doubt whispered defeat in the dead of the night
Adversity's blade carving scars into fight

We don′t break - we detonate
Built from wreckage they said was too late
Fire in the veins no gods no fate
We are the scars that they couldn't erase
No throne no rules - just ash and sound
Echoes of the outcasts shaking the ground
Raise that noise like a war drum now
Feel that spark then burn it down


Train yard rust hoodie pulled low
Taggin′ last chances in a no go zone
Junkyard dogs bark like a war alarm
Tires still burn where I outran harm
Glass in my laces sirens in my head
Every friend I trusted either ghost or dead
I sleep in the booth where the bassline lives
Night shift thump with the pain it gives
Mom said you're better but the world said never
So I made my name outta storm and pressure
Spray can hissing like a lit fuse wound
Every word I drop is a battleground sound
Billboard lights can't drown out the scars
I built this voice under broken stars
If you hear that roar it′s not just a track
It′s the echo of a kid who ain't coming back

In the quiet after kills shadows whisper my name
Echoes of the fallen keep feedin′ this flame
What's the price of the peak souls stacked like stones
Crown weigh heavy on neck heavy on bones
Broke mirrors show the beast I became
Survival′s a scar not a flex not a game
One breath from the brink kissed the edge of abyss
Clawed back light now the darkness flinch

We don't break - we detonate
Built from wreckage they said was too late
Fire in the veins no gods no fate
We are the scars that they couldn′t erase
No throne no rules - just ash and sound
Echoes of the outcasts shaking the ground
Raise that noise like a war drum now
Feel that spark then burn it down
