[Verse 1]
You said you'd meet me
Back at the gate by the rusted sign
Rain on your jacket
Shook off the summer
We crossed that line
Crowd like an ocean
Pushing us close till I felt you shake
You whispered softly
"Tonight I burn or I finally break"
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hand in mine
Every fear out of focus
Mouth to my ear
Every word like a slow kiss
"Promise me this
If I fall you don't wake me"
Then the lights cut out
And the ground started shaking
[Chorus]
Hold me in the dark till the world blows up
If we disappear
Let it be enough
Hearts beating like a war in my blood
I am yours
I am yours
Through the rise
Through the flood
Scream my name as the sky comes down
If we go under
Then we go proud
Love on the edge
In the ash and the mud
I am yours
I am yours
Ashes in the floodlights
[Drop]
[Choir swells
Glitchy vocal chops
Bass slams]
[Verse 2]
Later
In silence
Staring at tracks where the night had been
Smoke on your fingers
Smear of black on your frightened grin
"You know they'll leave us
Once all the colors and sparks are gone"
I traced your pulse and
Said
"That's the part that they can't turn off"
[Pre-Chorus]
Your breath on glass
Drawing hearts in the frost there
You laughed then asked
"Will you stay when it's not fair?"
Thunder inside
As the roar started rising
Every broken piece
Suddenly aligning
[Chorus]
Hold me in the dark till the world blows up
If we disappear
Let it be enough
Hearts beating like a war in my blood
I am yours
I am yours
Through the rise
Through the flood
Scream my name as the sky comes down
If we go under
Then we go proud
Love on the edge
In the ash and the mud
I am yours
I am yours
Ashes in the floodlights
[Bridge]
If this is the last song we ever survive
Let it carve our faces in the night sky
If this is the last time we ever feel alive
Let the ground give way
Let the ground give way (hey)
[Chorus]
Hold me in the dark till the world blows up
If we disappear
Let it be enough
Hearts beating like a war in my blood
I am yours
I am yours
Through the rise
Through the flood
Scream my name as the sky comes down
If we go under
Then we go proud
Love on the edge
In the ash and the mud
I am yours
I am yours
Ashes in the floodlights
[Drop]
[Haunting choir carries main hook as strings and synths rise
Drums hit harder]
