[Verse 1]
I was drowning in that tunnel
Water in my mouth
Couldn’t find the ceiling
Couldn’t call you out
Black broken wing butterfly
Stuck against the glass
Half of me was crawling
Half of me was ash
[Pre-Chorus]
Then a line of gold
Cut through the dark
You touched the ruins
Right where I start
I held my breath
I heard you say
Stay with the fire
Don’t look away
[Chorus]
Black wing, black wing
Don’t fall apart
Sun, come on
Burn through the dark
Half caterpillar
I still move on
The sun healed me
The sun healed me strong
[Verse 2]
I wore the mud like armor
Wore the fear like shame
Every step was sinking
Every step the same
But your hands were steady
When my own were gone
You pulled me from the water
And called me back to dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Then a line of gold
Cut through the dark
You touched the ruins
Right where I start
I held my breath
I heard you say
Stay with the fire
Don’t look away
[Chorus]
Black wing, black wing
Don’t fall apart
Sun, come on
Burn through the dark
Half caterpillar
I still move on
The sun healed me
The sun healed me strong
[Bridge]
I was a hush
I was a crack
I was a body
Trying to turn back
Then the warmth hit hard
And the wound came clean
I rose up trembling
But I rose clean
[Final Chorus]
Black wing, black wing
Don’t fall apart
Sun, come on
Burn through the dark
Half caterpillar
I still move on
The sun healed me
The sun healed me strong
Black wing, black wing
I’m not alone
Sun, come on
Take me home
Half caterpillar
I still move on
The sun healed me
The sun healed me strong
