Text
[Verse 1]
Another late call
Same cheap bar
Same haul
Stickered case in the back of the van
Gas on fumes
But we still got plans
[Chorus]
I want skin on the stage
Not on these screens
Sweat in my eyes
Not in my dreams
Turn that volume past the red
Till the doubt falls out my head
I want skin on the stage
Bones in the sound
Lose my voice just to feel this ground
[Verse 2]
Feet tap time
To a half-broke sign
Neon buzz and a crooked door
Three kids lined up
We still play it like a war
[Bridge]
If this roof caves in
Let it fall on our chords
If this night burns out
We’ll still be shouting for more (for more)
[Chorus]
I want skin on the stage
Not on these screens
Sweat in my eyes
Not in my dreams
Turn that volume past the red
Till the doubt falls out my head
I want skin on the stage
Bones in the sound
Lose my voice just to feel this ground
Another late call
Same cheap bar
Same haul
Stickered case in the back of the van
Gas on fumes
But we still got plans
[Chorus]
I want skin on the stage
Not on these screens
Sweat in my eyes
Not in my dreams
Turn that volume past the red
Till the doubt falls out my head
I want skin on the stage
Bones in the sound
Lose my voice just to feel this ground
[Verse 2]
Feet tap time
To a half-broke sign
Neon buzz and a crooked door
Three kids lined up
We still play it like a war
[Bridge]
If this roof caves in
Let it fall on our chords
If this night burns out
We’ll still be shouting for more (for more)
[Chorus]
I want skin on the stage
Not on these screens
Sweat in my eyes
Not in my dreams
Turn that volume past the red
Till the doubt falls out my head
I want skin on the stage
Bones in the sound
Lose my voice just to feel this ground
Musikstyle
rock, Crunchy alt-rock band energy; overdriven guitars locked with a tight, slightly swung drum groove. Verses stay in the pocket with choked chords and dry male vocals; chorus explodes with wide power chords, shouted gang harmonies, and a lifted overhead snare. Short middle hit drops to bass and vocal before final chorus hits hardest.
