Lyrics

Verse 1

Counting out the sixteenths on a plywood board

Barely twelve but swinging for the crown

The tempo never wavered

Staring through the long hair

Keeping the count for the whole world

Pre-Chorus

Broken pedals

Blood on the floor

Small frame

Total war

Chorus

One double kick like a mountain falling

One blast beat screaming through the gray

The rhythm remains

The rhythm remains

A storm of maple sticks and holy fire

Holding up the mask against the day

The rhythm remains

The rhythm remains

Verse 2

Spinning on the rig high above the stage

Gravity was never gonna hold you down

A shadow on the snare

Master of the movement

Leaving a void in the middle of the frame

Pre-Chorus

Number one

Broken wings

Perfect time

Silent strings

Chorus

One double kick like a mountain falling

One blast beat screaming through the gray

The rhythm remains

The rhythm remains

A storm of maple sticks and holy fire

Holding up the mask against the day

The rhythm remains

The rhythm remains

Bridge

They said you were the engine

They said you were the heart

They saw the speed

They felt the cold

You built the pulse that tore it all apart

Chorus

One double kick like a mountain falling

One blast beat screaming through the gray

The rhythm remains

The rhythm remains

A storm of maple sticks and holy fire

Holding up the mask against the day

The rhythm remains

The rhythm remains

Post-Chorus

The rhythm remains

The rhythm remains

Number one

Gone too soon
