Lyrics

Intro

Verse 1

Talk

You talk Like you know who

Walked these broken tracks Scars aren't trophies

You don't know where they’re at

You claim it’s only about the gold

Glorious flash

Kings fall

I've seen kings fall to nothing

Making it last

Pre-Chorus

Lines drawn black and white Blind to what you lack

Yeah you are blind

Chorus

It's not about that

Not the fame or the fight

Not the noise in your head

Keeping you up every night

It's not about that

Not the cheers or the fall

It's the fire in your chest

When you've got nothing at all

(Nothing at all)

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Not about that

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Shade

You chase

Mirror lies

Shadows in the spotlight

Faces are a disguise

Truth cuts through your eyes

Walls built out of silence

Brick by brick

Word by word

Echoes of a conscience

Loudest thing you've heard

Pre-Chorus

Sell your soul for something fast

Never brings you back

Never brings you back

Chorus

It's not about that

Not the fame or the fight

Not the noise in your head

Keeping you up every night

It's not about that

Not the cheers or the fall

It's the fire in your chest

When you've got nothing at all

(Nothing at all)

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Not about that

Oh oh oh

Bridge

Strip it down

Tear it out

Who are you without the crowd

When the lights fade

When the lights fade to black

Can you live with that

No more lies

No disguise

No more alibis

When it's you against yourself

Nowhere left to hide

Chorus

It's not about that

(Not about that)

Not the fame or the fight

(Not about that)

It's not about that

(Not about that)

It's who you are in the dark

When there's nobody at all

Outro

Not about that

Not about that

Guitar Solo

Chorus

It's not about that

(Not about that)

Not the fame or the fight

(Not about that)

It's not about that

(Not about that)

It's the fire in your chest

When you've got nothing at all

Hook

Not about that

No it's not about that

Everything you thought you wanted

You can give it back

Outro

Just the fire

(Just the fire)

In the quiet

(In the quiet)

When the room goes cold

And the truth is told

It's not about that

(Not about that)

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

(Not about that)

Fade out
