Chrome Grin Cadillac

Intro

Lost my light

Black tie

Black brim hat

My voice was fading away

Chrome grin on a black Cadillac

Verse 1

I kept on shouting while no one would listen

They roll past the corner store

Then you came through the fray

Slick shades hiding secrets

No cape

No fame

Just the truth

I fought and I cried

I screamed and I sighed

I waited and I lied

Chorus

You’re a guide

You’re a fighter

You’re a spark

You’re a writer

You’re not a sinner

You’re a saint

You will never feel ashamed

You’re the shield

You’re the flame

You’re the shield

You’re the flame

Not looking for fame

You will remain the same

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Same as you were

Oh oh oh

Remaining the same

Verse 2

Thin file on the dash half burned

Cold case on a backseat

Red map

Thumbtacks out

Each pin is a face

Forgot what they are about

Who told you you were safe?

Who sold you the exit?

They circle

They surface

They linger

They point a finger

Chorus

You’re a guide

You’re a fighter

You’re a spark

You’re a writer

You’re not a sinner

You’re a saint

You will never feel ashamed

You’re the shield

You’re the flame

You’re the shield

You’re the flame

Not looking for fame

You will remain the same

Bridge

Men in black in the black Cadillac

Ray guns under those Sunday suits

Click-clack shoes and the collars cracked

Laughing while they tighten the noose

Nobody here's gonna look twice back

Snap that flash and your secrets fade

They take your name

They take your pride

They take your soul

Verse 3

Take these words from me

Reason I still dream

They might not see

What is actually true

But I’ve seen

Every side of you

Bring the peace

Give without knowing

You cut the chain

You burned that shame

Final Chorus

You’re a guide

You’re a fighter

You’re a spark

You’re a writer

You’re not a sinner

You’re a saint

You will never feel ashamed

You’re the shield

You’re the flame

You’re the shield

You’re the flame

Not looking for fame

You will remain the same

Outro

Men in black

In the black Cadillac

You remain the same

No matter what happens

You remain the same

Chrome grin

Black Cadillac

Remain the same

The same

The same

The same

Stay the same
