[Verse 1]
Dust on the shelves
My name on the spine
Tattered old cover
Still
It starts to shine
Everybody staring
Saying I’m a joke
Turn that doubt to fuel
Breathe it in like smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Sweat on my palms
Crowd in my ears
One deep breath
Cut through the fear
[Chorus]
Black clover
Bad odds on my shoulder
Every scar
Every rumor
Makes my fire burn bolder
Black clover
Born under the under
If the heavens slam shut
I tear ‘em wide open over and over
[Verse 2]
Late night training
Knuckles split red
Whispers in the dorm room
“I’ll leave ‘em all ahead”
You got gold-stitched pages
I got grit and rage
Watch this worn-out cover
Rewrite every page
[Pre-Chorus]
Laid on the floor
Dreams on the ceiling
Stand back up
Armor made of feeling
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I’m the one they count out
Then I’ll be the count to ten
One for every loss I swallowed
Ten for every time I rise again (rise again)
[crescendo]
Raise that book to the sky
Let the doubt fall away
If you ever felt small
Then you know what I say
[Chorus]
