Lyrics

Verse 1

Caught in the glow of a screen so bright Seeing words that I can't erase Rumors posted in the dead of night

Truth gets lost inside the maze

Once I was sure who I could trust

Now it’s clear there’s just empty names

Try to drown the noise with another verse

But the silence never fades

Chorus

Everyone’s got something to say

And none of it is ever true

They’re painting lies on every wall But they can’t walk a mile in my shoes Feels like the whole world hates me

But I still step up to the mic

Fake news flying through the air

Yeah, I’m holding on tonight [Post-Chorus]

Whoa, whoa, holding on tonight

Whoa, whoa, I’m still holding on

Verse 2

Heard my name dragged through the smoke

Every Friday night at the pub Stares at work, rumours on the wire, like I'm a man that they need to judge

I swear to you, it finished clean No storm, no fight, no mess

She hated the songs I’d write at night

I guess she couldn’t handle the rest

Pre-Chorus

Can’t believe what I’ve become

Everyone picking a side

They don’t even care about the truth

But I’m not running, I won’t hide

Chorus

Everyone’s got something to say

And none of it is ever true

They’re painting lies on every wall

But they can’t walk a mile in my shoes

Feels like the whole world’s against me But I still step up to the mic

Fake news flying through the air Yeah, I’m holding on tonight

Post-Chorus

Whoa, whoa, holding on tonight

Whoa, whoa, I’m still holding on [Bridge]

I see my face allover their screens But they don't show the man I am I’m chasing fame in the city lights

While the rumor mill spins again

I keep my circle razor-thin

Every secret’s just a loaded gun

If they only knew what I keep inside

They’d run before the morning comes

Chorus

Everyone’s got something to say

And none of it is ever true

They’re painting lies on every wall

But they can’t walk a mile in my shoes

Feels like the whole world’s against me

But I still step up to the mic

Fake news flying through the air

Yeah, I’m holding on tonight

Outro

Whoa, whoa, holding on tonight

Whoa, whoa, I’m still holding on

If I crumble, I’ll rebuild

Still fighting for something real

Whoa, whoa, holding on tonight

Whoa,
