Lyrics

[Intro: low Irish spoken vocal, distant thunder, slide guitar]

It’s GrizzlyJones… It’s time…

Drop the beat… Drop it.

[Verse 1: raspy rap, heavy bass, slow stomps]

I came home carrying another defeat,

With rain in my collar and mud on my feet.

I sat in the kitchen, too tired to pray,

And watched the clock drag the darkness away.

Then doubt pulled a chair to the table with me,

Said, “Look at your life. Is this all you will be?”

I stood, put my coat on, and walked through the door.

I had heard that voice, but I knew mine was more.

[Chorus: gritty melody, pounding drums, layered vocals]

You can shake these walls; you cannot tear me down.

I have learned to stand on broken ground.

When the night gets loud, I let my faith get louder.

Every mile I walk takes me farther from your power.

You can leave your mark, but you cannot claim my name.

I will carry these scars without carrying the shame.

Tell the darkness waiting at the edge of town:

“You can knock me over. You cannot keep me down.”

[Verse 2: tighter rhythm, distorted guitar]

I used to pour whiskey on things I should face,

Then wake with the same hurt in somebody’s place.

I called it bad luck when I knew it was fear.

I lost a few people who needed me here.

Now I answer the phone, and I mean what I say.

When I owe an apology, I give it that day.

There is strength in the truth I was frightened to tell.

Every promise I keep puts a crack into hell.

[Bridge: drums drop out, rough spoken vocal]

Do you want to know why I stand up again?

There are people I love, and I will not let them

Remember a man who surrendered his soul

When the road became rough and the nights became cold.

My knees touch the floor when I need help to stand.

Then I rise with a prayer and get back to the plans.

[Final chorus: full guitars, heavy bass, choir]

You can shake these walls; you cannot tear me down.

I have learned to stand on broken ground.

When the night gets loud, I let my faith get louder.

Every mile I walk takes me farther from your power.

You can leave your mark, but you cannot claim my name.

I will carry these scars without carrying the shame.

Tell the darkness waiting at the edge of town:

“You can knock me over. You cannot keep me down.”

[Outro: drums stop, low spoken vocal]

You know where to find me.

I will be building what you tried to break.
