Resilience Lyrics

[Intro: Sample from Dazed and Confused]
"Man, you guys are kings of the school
You get away with whatever you want
What are you bitching about?"
"Well, all I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these
As the best years of my life
Remind me to kill myself"

[Verse 1]
When the wildfire is over
And everything is gone
Incinerate my tires
While we race into the wide open

[Pre-Chorus]
See, I don't really wanna think about it
Or how it all went wrong
Houston, there's a problem
Someone sucked out all the sun

[Chorus]
But I'm, I'm better tonight
Don't waste that hand
Non-operational for anything else
You're jealous of my resilience

See Pierce The Veil Live

Get tickets as low as $111

[Verse 2]
When the royal crown is gone
And everything is ours
Regenerate that kind of power
Reserved for the Marvel Gods

[Pre-Chorus]
See, I've been coming to the realization
That all you do is shine
Black lights to my problems
Swallow dirt, you rotten swine

[Chorus]
But I'm better tonight
Don't waste that hand
Non-operational for anything else
You're jealous of my resilience

[Bridge]
And it's odd that I've
Been running into spider webs at night
And it's odd that I
Keep running into spider webs
Running into spider webs
At night

[Chorus]
I'm better tonight
Don't waste that hand
Non-operational for anything else
Jealous of my resilience

[Outro]
My resilience
My resilience

What have the artists said about the song?

With this song, I had this vision of that classic scene in the movies when the hand pops out of the dirt after they’ve been buried alive, and the person starts pulling their body up to the surface. It’s like when you’re digging your way out of this hole, and your eyes finally see the sun and they adjust. Also, one of my most proud moments on this record is that we got to use a quote from Dazed and Confused to start the song. We actually had to have the actors approve that. It was such a win for the album.
