[Intro]
\nLook! Up in the air
\n(Right there… the latest scare)
\n[Grungy Bass, Distorted Guitar, Punchy Drums]
\nYeah\u2026
\n(Yeah, yeah)
\nFrom nothing\u2026 to something\u2026 maybe too much\u2026
\n(And such)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nStarted out crawling in the dust of the street
\nNo rhythm in the walk, no heat in the beat
\nTalked big dreams with a broken tone
\nBut never really built it on their own<\/p>\n
Always pointing fingers at the sky
\nBlaming the world for the reason why
\nNothing ever seemed to stick
\nJust another shortcut trick<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nThen somebody flipped the frame
\nRebranded the blame
\nGave it a mask, gave it a name
\nAnd suddenly everything changed<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nYou took a down and dirty
\n(Nitty gritty)
\nNo good loser
\n(Wanna be poser)
\nAnd turned ’em into a super power
\n(The aftertaste is sour)
\nBuilt up fast, but it won\u2019t empower
\n(Just a hollow tower)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break \u2013 Driving Rhythm, Rising Synth, Sharp Guitar Stabs]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nNow they walk like they own the place
\nSame old story, different face
\nConfidence stitched from borrowed thread
\nEchoing words someone else said<\/p>\n
Crowds gather like it\u2019s all real
\nBut nobody\u2019s sure what they should feel
\nShiny surface, shaky ground
\nTruth gets lost in the sound<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery myth needs a spark
\nEven if it\u2019s just in the dark
\nTurn a weakness into disguise
\nSell the story, watch it rise<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nYou took a down and dirty
\n(Nitty gritty)
\nNo good loser
\n(Wanna be poser)
\nAnd turned ’em into a super power
\n(The aftertaste is sour)
\nBuilt it high in a single hour
\n(But it won\u2019t empower)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nSuch a contradiction
\n(Is stranger than fiction)
\nPower born from imitation
\nMasked in self-declaration
\nTruth and image start to blur
\nWhat they are and what they were<\/p>\n
[Breakdown \u2013 Minimal Beat, Echoed Vocals]
\nSuper\u2026 power\u2026
\nOr just borrowed hours\u2026
\nSuper\u2026 power\u2026
\nBuilt on crumbling towers\u2026<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus \u2013 Full Band, Heavy Drums, Layered Vocals]
\nYou took a down and dirty
\n(Nitty gritty)
\nNo good loser
\n(Wanna be poser)
\nAnd turned ’em into a super power
\n(The aftertaste is sour)
\nEvery rise comes with a counter
\n(Truth gets louder)
\nWhat was weak becomes a flower
\n(But it still won\u2019t empower)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Distorted Guitar Fades, Static, Low Drone]
\nFrom nothing dressed up as something new\u2026
\nA super power built on what isn\u2019t true\u2026<\/p>\n
