[Verse 1]
Burn the photographs
Let the colors bleed
All those broken yesterdays
A language I don’t read
Names in the drywall
Scratched by shaking hands
Echoes turn to quiet dust
Slipping through the vents
[Chorus]
This is the sweet ache of now
I don’t want the healing
Let it carve my ribs out
I’m alive in the feeling
I forgot what came before
Let the old ghosts drown
I love the pain I’m breathing
This is the sweet ache of now (now)
[Verse 2]
I wear every scar
Like a sharpened jewel
Twisting in the open air
Cutting
But it’s cool
Bite on every heartbeat
Taste the copper flood
Kneeling in the present tense
Baptized in my blood (oh)
[Chorus]
This is the sweet ache of now
I don’t want the healing
Let it carve my ribs out
I’m alive in the feeling
I forgot what came before
Let the old ghosts drown
I love the pain I’m breathing
This is the sweet ache of now
[Bridge]
Tear off the past like a dead skin cloak
Let it fall
Let it rot
Let the timeline choke
Every old shadow fades in the glare
Of a beautiful wound that I choose to wear (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is the sweet ache of now
I don’t want the healing
Let it carve my ribs out
I’m alive in the feeling
I forgot what came before
Let the old ghosts drown
I love the pain I’m breathing
This is the sweet ache of now
This is the sweet ache of now
