Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mask on
Name gone
Every rooftop feels the same
Crowds cheer
Then disappear
They forget you know your name
Steel sky
Tired eyes
Every shadow hides a knife
You're the ghost
They hate the most
Still you step into the fight
[Chorus]
It's a thankless job
And everybody's my enemy
I bleed for the crowd
They don't have to remember me
I stand alone
Take the fall so the weak stay strong
For the good of the people
I keep holding on (holding on)
[Verse 2]
Cold news
Twisted truth
They will paint you as the curse
Same streets
Same heat
You still run there in reverse
Right call
Wrong cost
Every victory feels rough
But one child
Sleeping safe
Yeah
For that it's just enough
[Chorus]
It's a thankless job
And everybody's my enemy
I bleed for the crowd
They don't have to remember me
I stand alone
Take the fall so the weak stay strong
For the good of the people
I keep holding on (holding on)
[Bridge]
If they fear me
Let them fear
I'll be right here
Year after year
If they curse me
Let them curse
I'll break first
Before they hurt
[Chorus]
It's a thankless job
And everybody's my enemy
I bleed for the crowd
They don't have to remember me
I stand alone
Take the fall so the weak stay strong
For the good of the people
I keep holding on
For the good of the people
I keep holding on (oh-oh)
