Verse 1
Em 
I woke up to the same old ceiling
Pain cracked like my patience thin
C 
Coffee cold, the clock keeps screaming
Is this it? Is this it again?
Em 
I've been biting my
tongue till it bleeds
Playing quiet, playing small for their needs
C 
But there's a spark in my chest
Am 
Em 
Yes, burning through my veins
Crash the quiet, break the glass
G 
I was never built to fade to black
C 
Turn it up until it shakes my past
Am 
I'm alive when the walls all crack
Em 
Crash the quiet, hear my name
G 
I'm done hiding in the shade of shame
C 
If it scares me, I'll still stay
Am 
I'm alive when I don't
Em 
C 
Am 
look the way
Em 
All fears like a worn out jacket
Heavy on my crooked spine
C 
I've been begging ghosts for answers
Am 
But they only steal my time
Em 
I'm done waiting for someone to save
Every breath is a brick I can lay
C 
I'll build a road out of doubt
Am 
And I'm taking it right now
Em 
Right now
Crash the quiet, break the glass
G 
I was never built for fade to black
C 
Turn it up until it shakes my past
Am 
I'm alive when the walls all crack
Em 
Crash the kayak with my name
G 
I'm done hiding in the shade of shame
C 
If it scares me, I'll still stay
Am 
I'm alive when I don't
Dm 
Am 
Em 
look away
I've been small for too long
Shrinking just to get along
C 
But my heart beats hitting hard
Am 
Like a thousand marching yards
Em 
Will you wait?
Will you stay?
When I shout?
When I change?
Either way I'm on my way
Am 
Em 
Either way I'm on my way
Crash the quiet
Break the glass
G 
All was never built to fade to black
C 
Turn it up until it shakes my past
Am 
I'm alive when the walls all crack
Em 
Clash the quiet, scream my name
G 
Every scar is gasoline and flame
C 
If it scares me, I'll still stay
Am 
I'm alive when I don't look away
Em 
C 
Am 
Em 
C 
Am 
Why?
You
Em
