Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Teeth on the curb of a dead-end town
Neon buzz, but the power’s out
Cracked screen glow on a shaking hand
Heart rate racing faster than I planned

[Chorus]
Ashes in the breakbeat
Throw me to the kick and the crash
I burn when the snare hits
Torn between the metal and the flash
Spin me in the stampede
Till every single bone screams back
Ashes in the breakbeat
I only feel alive in the attack (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Steel-toe boots on a crowded floor
Sweat, smoke, somebody wants one more
Jaw clenched tight like a coiled-up spring
Every bruise just teaching me to sing

[Chorus]
Ashes in the breakbeat
Throw me to the kick and the crash
I burn when the snare hits
Torn between the metal and the flash
Spin me in the stampede
Till every single bone screams back
Ashes in the breakbeat
I only feel alive in the attack

[Bridge]
[Halftime, vocals almost whispered]
I was quiet once
Tried to play it safe
But the storm in my chest
Wouldn’t stay in its cage

Now the floorboards shake
Now the room goes black
When the first hit lands
There’s no turning back (woah)

[Chorus]
Ashes in the breakbeat
Throw me to the kick and the crash
I burn when the snare hits
Torn between the metal and the flash
Spin me in the stampede
Till every single bone screams back
Ashes in the breakbeat
I only feel alive in the attack
