Teenage Thunder Fire Escape

[Intro – distorted guitar riff, rapid snare roll] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – chugging power chords, bouncy bassline] My bedroom walls are closing in again Clock ticks loud like a judgmental friend Radio screams songs that don't get me I'm sick of being who they want to see [Pre-Chorus – building guitar strums, crashing cymbals] Every light in this town feels too dim Got a spark in my chest that I can't trim One foot out the door, I'm ready to run Leave the quiet life under the gun [Chorus – full band blast, gang vocal harmonies] Teenage thunder in my bones World's my fire escape, I'm jumping home No more rules, no more waiting around Gonna burn the map and lose the ground [Verse 2 – faster guitar strums, punchy kick drum] Café booths where we used to waste time Now they feel like a prison of mime Teacher's voice is a broken record spin I'm gonna skip the end, start my own win [Pre-Chorus – intensified guitar layers, rolling toms] This town's a cage with a painted grin Got a gasoline heart and a match to spin One hand on the rail, I'm leaning out Gonna let the wind drown out the doubt [Chorus – louder gang vocals, distorted guitar solo tease] Teenage thunder in my veins World's my fire escape, I'm breaking chains No more lies, no more staying down Gonna chase the storm and lose the crown [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocals building] Mom says I'm reckless, dad says I'm blind But I see the world that they left behind A sky full of stars that don't cost a dime Gonna grab one fast before I run out of time [Solo – blistering distorted guitar, rapid drum fills] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band climax, maximum energy] Teenage thunder in my soul World's my fire escape, I'm taking control No more fear, no more hanging around Gonna burn the past and found the sound [Outro – fading guitar strums, final snare crash] Fire escape under my feet Teenage thunder, forever complete
