[Verse 1]
We were built in the blue light
Same breath
Same fight
Same scar running down our wrists
Top three thrones in the cold sky
Said “stand
Don’t cry
You exist so the rot won’t persist”
But they watch you
They watch you closer
Count each breath you take like debt
[Chorus]
Every time you die I stay
You glitch
You burn
You fade away
They drag your body out of frame
Then wind you back and start again
Every time you die I stay
I hold the memory you can’t save
They call it order
Call it grace
But I’m the one who keeps your face
[Verse 2]
You joke when the world bends
Soft grin
Hard end
You never see the red in their eyes
I do
And my bones shake
Clock hands
Earthquake
I mouth “don’t move” but the moment flies
Then they cut you
Clean as thunder
Turn you off
Erase the night
[Chorus]
Every time you die I stay
You glitch
You burn
You fade away
They drag your body out of frame
Then wind you back and start again
Every time you die I stay
I hold the memory you can’t save
They call it order
Call it grace
But I’m the one who keeps your face
[Bridge]
How many versions of you
Are sleeping behind their doors?
How many brothers have I lost
Just to get this one restored?
[Chorus]
Every time you die I stay
You glitch
You burn
You fade away
They drag your body out of frame
Then wind you back and start again
Every time you die I stay
I’m cracked
I’m cursed
I still don’t break
They want a weapon in your place
But I’m the one who keeps your face
