[Intro \u2013 Warm Guitar Strum, Soft Piano, Light Crowd Ambience]
\nStrings hum low, the lights are dim
\nDust on every fractured hymn
\nBut somewhere underneath the pain
\nThere\u2019s still a rhythm in the grain<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nWe used to hit it loud and true
\nEvery chord felt fresh and new
\nNow the silence sits too long
\nLike it swallowed up the song
\nAmps are humming, but they\u2019re tired
\nEvery wire feels expired
\nStill we gather, still we try
\nTo keep the heartbeat amplified<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIf it\u2019s broken, let it show
\nThat\u2019s the only way we grow<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nThis band is in need of aid
\n(Too long since we played)
\nThe need for any ear to hear
\n(What’s going down here!)
\nGoing down!
\n(Down, down, down)<\/p>\n
For hearts that bleed
\n(Here’s a band aid!)
\nFor souls in need
\n(Here’s a band aid!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2 \u2013 Drums Enter Softly]
\nEvery verse a stitched-up scar
\nEvery note a shooting star
\nWe don\u2019t fix it, we just play
\nThrough the wreckage of the day
\nBroken strings still make a sound
\nWhen they hit the hollow ground
\nMaybe flaws are just the way
\nWe keep breathing into clay<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIf the damage tells the truth
\nThen it\u2019s proof we\u2019re 100-proof<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nThis band is in need of aid
\n(Too long since we played)
\nThe need for any ear to hear
\n(What’s going down here!)
\nGoing down!
\n(Down, down, down)
\nFor hearts that bleed
\n(Here’s a band aid!)
\nFor souls in need
\n(Here’s a band aid!)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown, Piano + Sparse Guitar]
\nFind a cure, an elixir fix
\n(… a place where sound still sticks)
\nPress it on the wound and sing
\n(Let the broken amplifiers ring)
\nEvery crack a place for light
\n(Every wrong a chance to write)
\nSomething truer than before
\n(Something to cure the hurt and more)<\/p>\n
[Build \u2013 Full Band Rising]
\nTape it up, don\u2019t let it fade
\nEvery loss is just displayed
\nTurn it up and let it bleed
\nInto everything we need<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain \u2013 Big, Anthemic]
\nThis band is in need of aid
\n(Too long since we played)
\nAnd still we ask to be heard
\n(Every broken word)
\nGoing down!
\n(Down, down, down)<\/p>\n
For hearts that bleed
\n(Here’s a band aid!)
\nFor souls in need
\n(Here’s a band aid!)
\nFor every sound that we’ve found
\n(Here\u2019s a band aid!)<\/p>\n
[Outro \u2013 Gentle Guitar, Crowd Noise Fading In]
\nWe\u2019re still here\u2026
\n(Just saying)
\nStill playing\u2026
\n(Still feeling)
\nStill healing\u2026
\n(Left us reeling)
\n[Silence]<\/p>\n
