Intro (Both)
Lights snap — we strike, neon phoenix in the night
(chant) We burn, we rise, we fly — (We burn, we rise, we fly)
(Verse 1 - Member A)
Step on the stage, lace the page with a razor tongue, / flash past, clash fast, cash stacks, crash glass /
Heartbeat drum-rattle, sidewalk to stadium, I'm that one, / chalk lines on the pavement where the blackout begun /
Tongue-twisters, spit blister, syllables like shrapnel, / snap-back, clap-track, feel the map crack when I unravel /
Midnight freeway, tail-lights trailing like confetti, / I carve my name in thunder, scars glow gold and petty /
Concrete and chrome, wrote my vows on broken microphones, / I run with a grin, grin thin, grin wins with bone
/breath/ hold two — then cut, cut — rocket fuel, rocket thrust, rocket tone
(Pre-Chorus - Member B)
I remember green rooms, cold truths, rehearsed truths, late moons, / I breathe the skyline, feel the climb in my lungs bloom
Soft then sharpen — lift me up, let the notes break the roof, / I hang on the high line — a silver thread, I'm bulletproof
Long high note climb -> "Aaaaaahhhhh" — hold 8 beats (sustain: Member B, full chest to head mix)
(Chorus - Both)
Center Hook (6–8 syllables, harmonize & melisma-ready): "We burn, we rise, we fly" — (We burn, we rise, we fly)
We burn, we rise, we fly — OH! (Melisma: oh-oh-oh-oh-OH) — hold 8 beats (Both, layered harmonies)
Neon smoke, city gold, we carve the night with a cry,
Two sisters, two storms — fast tongue, long wings — we fly.
(Verse 2 - Member A)
Razor rain, flash-frame, names fade but I remain, / I stitch the skyline with syllables, stitch pain into fame /
I flip scripts, rip myths, spit quick like a cyclone, / downtown to thrown crowns — chew storm, spit stone
Basement to billboard, our echoes fold into the rafters, / broken strings, taped mics, late flights, we chase after chapters /
Watch the skyline bow — I'm the match to the fuse, / I sprint past the doubt, outshout the doubt, juice in my shoes

(End of rapid-fire section, slam into chorus)
(Pre-Chorus - Member B)
I touch the vaulted sky where memories hang like lanterns, / I sing for the broken chairs, the backstage band, the frantic dancers
Lift me, breathe me, let my highest note split the rain, / climb the scale, hold the air, I
