Resist the Strings

Chorus

They draw a mask for every face I see

I won't surrender what I'm meant to be

Twist and fray but I resist the strings

I'll keep my roots, I won't pretend

Post-Chorus

I'm holding on—on—on

To something real

Verse 2

Spotlight burning shapes behind my eyes

Plastic faces chasing shallow prize

Promises get sold for empty cheers

But real ones burn and persevere

Pre-Chorus

Though thunder shakes the stage

My stance becomes my rage

I build this truth from pain

I'm not your mannequin

Chorus

They draw a mask for every face I see

I won't surrender what I'm meant to be

Twist and fray but I resist the strings

I'll keep my roots, I won't pretend

Post-Chorus

I'm holding on—on—on

To something real

Theremin Bridge

Chorus

They draw a mask for every face I see

I won't surrender what I'm meant to be

Twist and fray but I resist the strings

I'll keep my roots, I won't pretend
