Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 We built a cathedral from cassette tape hiss Stained glass made of shattered picks Lit candles with the sparks from your mouth Watched them tremble in the Pacific mist They said the storm was self inflicted That lightning chose its tree But I’ve stood in forests long enough To know when roots don’t leave Pre Chorus There was a bruise beneath the halo A tremor in the choir Somebody cupped their hands around The smallest hidden fire Chorus You were a lighthouse in a blackout sea Salt in the wound of a broken dream But lighthouses don’t drown alone They’re swallowed by the tide There’s fingerprints in the undertow Where the truth went down to hide Verse 2 They folded you in paper wingsAnd called it gravity Hung your silence on a hook For all the world to see But angels don’t just drop like that Mid sentence, mid refrain Sometimes the puppet loses breath When someone pulls the chain Pre Chorus There was sugar in the poison Perfume in the flame A kiss that tasted copper Wrapped in borrowed shame Chorus You were a lighthouse in a blackout sea Salt in the wound of a broken dream But lighthouses don’t drown alone They’re dragged beneath the foam There’s shadows stitched in velvet ropes Around the broken throne Bridge If truth is just a mirror Why’s it covered up in smoke Why does every answer Feel carefully bespoke I hear you in the feedback Between the chord and scream Like a ghost caught in the raftersOf the American dream Soft Break Maybe pain can pull a trigger Maybe ghosts can hold a gun Maybe crowns are forged in darkness Long before the damage done But something in the echo Something in the grain Says roses don’t just wilt like that Without a little rain Final Chorus You were a lighthouse in a blackout sea A spark in the machinery And sparks don’t simply vanish When the engine’s running cold They’re buried under concrete And sold as something told Outro The tide keeps all its secrets The shoreline keeps the scar We still kneel in your distortion Like a fallen star And the static… Still hums in every bar.
