[Verse] Rust and oil in my veins, I’m drowning in decay Wrench in hand, day after day, just scraping scraps away Broken dreams in metal heaps, I breathe the blue smoke sign Underneath the neon flicker, I’m counting down the time [Pre-Chorus] But when the engines scream at night I swear I’m gonna find my fight [Chorus] Louder nights, I’m breaking out Shattered chains, I’m screaming shout From scrapyard roots to open skies I’m burning up, no compromise Louder nights, I’m breaking free This rust won’t get the best of me [Verse] Torn gloves stained with sweat and grime, the clock’s my enemy Every spark’s a stolen spark of restless energy I hear the distant thunder, a call I can’t deny The city lights are pulsing like a heartbeat in the sky [Pre-Chorus] And when the noise begins to rise I’m chasing down my midnight skies [Chorus] Louder nights, I’m breaking out Shattered chains, I’m screaming shout From scrapyard roots to open skies I’m burning up, no compromise Louder nights, I’m breaking free This rust won’t get the best of me [Bridge] I’ve been buried in the dust and grime But sparks will fly, just give me time I’ll rip these nights wide open Like a song that’s never broken [Chorus] Louder nights, I’m breaking out Shattered chains, I’m screaming shout From scrapyard roots to open skies I’m burning up, no compromise Louder nights, I’m breaking free This rust won’t get the best of me [Outro] Louder, louder—hear me rise Escape is written in the skies Rust can’t hold me, can’t deny Louder nights, I’m flying high
