[Verse 1]
Boot prints in the blackened dust
Ash on my tongue
That chemical trust
I trade my sleep for one more burn
Let the bottle teach what I won’t learn
Red eyes in the rearview glare
Every mile
I lose someone who cared
Silenced my phone
Killed every call
Still hear them crying through these walls
[Chorus]
I keep running from the devil
Til I’m staring in the mirror at his face
I keep feeding every nightmare
Til I’m hollowed out and begging for a taste
Then your hand on my skin
Like a match in the rain
One touch and the voices fall
All the pain
All the pain
[Verse 2]
Concrete church
I kneel to the floor
Praying to the powder in my drawer
Every promise tastes like rust
Every friend
Another bridge to crush
You walked in
Didn’t say a word
Just held my shaking hands til they stopped their hurt
In the static of my poisoned head
Your heartbeat was the first clear thread
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I left them bleeding in my wake
Every soul I used to know
I chose the needle
Chose the flame
Let the good ones let me go
But you
You don’t flinch at the wreck I am
You press your palm to my chest
And the choir in my skull goes dead
[growled]
I’m a ghost in a borrowed skin
But you keep reaching in
[Chorus]
