Lyrics
[Intro: Caleb Shomo]
Never had a choice, never let the opps win
Calm them nerves, got the whole world watchin’
Ready, set, go, and there ain’t no stoppin’
Only one option, light it up
Ha!
[Verse 1: Caleb Shomo]
Heart is poundin’ out my chest, the blood boils inside of me
Lookin’ at the walls around me closin’ in, I think, “What’s it gonna be?”
Never had a choice, never let the opps win
Calm them nerves, got the whole world watchin’
Ready, set, go, and there ain’t no stoppin’
Only one option, light it up
[Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Everything burns
Light it up, let’s go, light it up, let’s go
Everything burns
Light it up, let’s go, light it up, let’s go
I’m on fire, burnin’ brighter than anyone alive
I’m way too hot to touch, so just remember if you try
Everything burns
[Post-Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Everything burns
[Verse 2: Caleb Shomo]
Bones are shakin’ out my skin, I got tinglin’ in my hands
Movin’ like a lightning strike, I’m on tonight, so just catch me if you can
Never had a choice, never let the opps win
Calm them nerves, got the whole world watchin’
Ready, set, go, and there ain’t no stoppin’
Only one option, light it up
[Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Everything burns
Light it up, let’s go, light it up, let’s go
Everything burns
Light it up, let’s go, light it up, let’s go
I’m on fire, burnin’ brighter than anyone alive
I’m way too hot to touch, so just remember if you try
Everything burns
[Bridge: Caleb Shomo]
Whole house packed, not here to make friends
Do or die moment, I love it this tense
Who am I takin’ out? Thinking you’re next
And now when the sky turns red, ’cause everything burns
‘Cause everything burns
[Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Everything burns
Light it up, let’s go, light it up, let’s go
Everything burns
Light it up, let’s go, light it up, let’s go
I’m on fire, burnin’ brighter than anyone alive
I’m way too hot to touch, so just remember if you try
Everything burns
[Post-Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Everything burns
