[Verse 1]
Red coat in the rubble
Chalk circle in the rain
Knees down on the cracked stone floor
Both hands full of pain
Steel arm
A scraped-up halo
Eyes tired
Way too young
Promise carved in busted knuckles
"I’ll fix what I’ve undone"
[Pre-Chorus]
Every law I break just to bring you back
Every scar I take keeps me on this track
Looking at my hands like
What did I do
If the world wants blood
I’ll pay it for you (for you)
[Chorus]
Brother
I’d burn my name
To rewrite every line of fate
If the deal is hurt or break
I’ll be the one who bends
Not you
Screaming at the sky
We don’t get a second try
But I’ll trade this hollow life
Before I ever trade my brother too
(yeah, my brother, my truth)
[Verse 2]
Silver suit
A hollow echo
Heart caged in borrowed steel
Can you feel the way I’m shaking
Or just hear the way I heal
Posters on our bedroom window
Worlds we swore we’d see
Now it’s train cars
Back-alley nightmares
Chasing what we used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Every rule they write
We will tear apart
Crack their holy books with a beating heart
If the cost is me
I’ll still follow through
Put my soul on the line just to stand by you (stand by you)
[Chorus]
Brother
I’d burn my name
To rewrite every line of fate
If the deal is hurt or break
I’ll be the one who bends
Not you
Screaming at the sky
We don’t get a second try
But I’ll trade this hollow life
Before I ever trade my brother too
(never letting go of you)
[Bridge]
We were kids with chalk and hope
Now we’re ash and iron bones
But when every door is closed
We’ll just draw our own
If the world says
"equivalent"
Then it’s wrong
‘cause it can’t see
You’re worth every broken piece
Left inside of me
[Chorus]
Brother
I’d burn my name
To rewrite every line of fate
If the deal is hurt or break
I’ll be the one who bends
Not you
Screaming at the sky
We don’t get a second try
But I’ll trade this hollow life
Before I ever trade my brother too
(yeah, my brother, my truth)
(yeah, my brother… it’s you)
