Holding the Line

Not financial advice! Just havin' a good time! [Intro] Everybody left… But the screens still glow… [Verse 1] Cold blue light across my face Dead accounts and empty space Message boards gone dark again Ghosts of who we might’ve been Newsman says the story’s done Another cycle come and gone But somewhere underneath the static I still hear the signal calling Parking lots beneath the snow GameStop signs still faintly glow Every city feels the same Like somebody erased the flame [Pre-Chorus] And after all the noise died out After all the crowds disappeared Some of us still stayed behind [Chorus] Holding the line Through the dead of night When nobody else survived And the whole world said goodbye Holding the line Through the wreckage left behind Every scar still burns alive But I’m still here this time [Verse 2] Frozen highways empty rooms Morning headlines filled with doom Everybody changed their names Pretendin’ they were never changed Maybe we stayed far too long Maybe everything went wrong But after all the endless fire Something still remains inside us Cracked screen glow at 4AM Reading through old posts again Not searching for another moon Just proof we once believed something true [Pre-Chorus] And maybe faith becomes a ghost Maybe scars become identity Maybe surviving changes everything [Chorus] Holding the line Under blackened skies Where the faithful learned to hide From the laughter and the lies Holding the line With the forgotten left behind Every wound still feels alive But I won’t disappear tonight [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I remember when the whole world burned electric When every screen felt alive When every signal felt like destiny Now the silence feels heavier than the crash But somewhere beneath the ruins The pulse still survives [Breakdown] Still here… Still breathing… Still holding… [Final Chorus] Holding the line Through the endless winter nights Even after all this time I still carry what survived Holding the line While the world moves on outside Every scar became a sign That we made it out alive Holding the line… [Outro] Everybody left… But some of us never really could…
