Back of the class

Neon hums in the empty hall,
The world outside fades into the wall.
A ghost of laughter, dust in the air,
I see the fire you hide in your stare.

They measured the world in black and white,
We found the colors in the dead of night.
While they memorized their perfect lines,
I was mapping stars inside your eyes.

A secret note between the lines,
A hidden world, a borrowed time.
They saw a shadow, a glitch, a mistake,
I saw a soul they could never break.

Let them cut with their words,
Let them hide behind walls.
We were never made to follow,
We were never made to fall.

No more waiting for tomorrow,
No more asking for a sign.
The future isn't somewhere distant,
The future is tonight.

Back of the class,
where the freaks are the kings.
Where broken hearts
still learn how to sing.

Passing our notes
like a code in the dark,
Two broken kids
with atomic hearts.

Let them laugh,
let them say we're lost.
We know who we are,
we know what it costs.

Back of the class,
where the revolution starts.
Two broken kids
with atomic hearts.

They built their perfect order,
wanted us the same.
A thousand empty copies,
a thousand borrowed names.

But you were the static,
the signal in the noise.
The only honest voice
among a million voices.

You didn't need me perfect,
you didn't need a mask.
You saw the person underneath
the cracks behind the glass.

Let them cut with their words,
let them build their walls.
They never saw the fire
burning inside us all.

We were never invisible,
we were never gone.
We were just too bright
for them to look upon.

Back of the class,
where the freaks are the kings.
Where chaos becomes
the reason we sing.

Passing our notes
like a code in the dark,
Two broken kids
with atomic hearts.

Maybe we're just ink,
fading on the page.
Maybe we're just smoke
in the coldest rain.

But all of the words
that we whispered at night
Were the only truth
that ever felt right.

A kingdom of two
on a plywood throne.
A world we created,
a place of our own.

We were never invisible...

We were just too bright to see.

Back of the class.

This is where we belong.

Do you love the glitch?
Do you love me?
Do you feel alive?

Say it loud.
Say it now.
