This is how we'll dance when they try to take us down / This is how we'll sing / This is how we'll stand when they burn our houses down / This is what will be our glory

Woken up like an animal / Teeth ready for sinking / My mind's lost in bleak visions / I've tried to escape but keep sinking

Where we're going we don't need no breaks / Can't wait to see your face / When your front windows break / And I come crashing through / The lovers need to clear the road / Cause this thing is ready to blow

My past has tasted bitter for years now / So I wield an iron fist / Grace is just weakness / Or so I've been told / I've been cold, I've been merciless / But the blood on my hands scares me to death / Maybe I'm waking up

I cut off my nose just to spite my face / Then hate my reflection for years and years / I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost / The room is on fire, invisible smoke / All of my heroes die all alone / Help me hold on to you

Sound the bugle now / Tell them I don't care / There's not a road I know that leads to anywhere / Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark / Lay right down / Decide not to go on

You taught me the courage of stars before you left / How light carries on endlessly, even after death / With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite / How rare and beautiful it is to even exist

You know I've been hurt before / Yeah, you know the score and I know you want more / You want me to thaw out / But you know I get ice cold, I get cold / When you don't go slow, but I know you want more

I meant to steal back / The life once stopped by a single blow / But I finally understand / I'm a woman in this world with a single body / A woman with a single wish / Waiting vigilantly for her single chance
