Break the Lock

Lyrics

[Intro] Salt on the breeze, steel in my chest Quiet for a second, then I give you the rest [Verse 1] Came through the gate with a storm in my step No borrowed crown, no debt unpaid yet Palm leaves move while the pressure climbs Warm strings outside, cold steel in the rhymes You talk big, but the room knows truth I built this weight from the stripped-down roots No retreat when the red lights flash Put the whole doubt pile straight in the trash [Pre-Chorus] Hold that breath, let the tension rise One more spark and the calm divides [Chorus] Break the lock, let the whole thing shake Hard-earned fire, no room for fake From the shore to the blacked-out stage I bring that thunder, I break that cage Break the lock, let the whole thing shake No soft step when the ground might break Hands up high when the bassline drops We don’t fold, we don’t stop [Drop] Run it up, run it up, run it up Crash through the ceiling, never enough Cut that doubt, cut that doubt, cut that doubt When it hits, watch the walls bow out [Verse 2] I keep my name where the pressure can’t bend Turn one bad hand to a permanent win Ukulele tone in the opening air Then the bass growls like a beast in the lair No postcard pose, this is sweat and scars Made my own lane, never begged for stars If you came for a test, better come prepared I’ve been training with the weight that you couldn’t bear [Bridge] Breathe in the ocean, breathe out the fear The line gets sharper every time we’re here Soft wind, hard heart, both can exist When the silence breaks, feel the force of the hit [Chorus] Break the lock, let the whole thing shake Hard-earned fire, no room for fake From the shore to the blacked-out stage I bring that thunder, I break that cage Break the lock, let the whole thing shake No soft step when the ground might break Hands up high when the bassline drops We don’t fold, we don’t stop [Final Drop] Run it up, run it up, run it up Crash through the ceiling, never enough Cut that doubt, cut that doubt, cut that doubt When it hits, watch the walls bow out [Outro] Salt in the air, fire in the sound What tried to hold me is breaking down
