[Verse 1]
You said
“Stay down here”
Breathing in the dust we made
Chipped cups
Cracked plates
Talking like the world won’t change
Bare feet on a cold wood floor
Your shadow climbing up my door
I wanted less
Wanted more
Than this slow decay
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise
Paper-thin
Every touch
A violin
You pull me close just to pin
All your ghosts on my skin (mm)
[Chorus]
Higher
Higher
You drag me through the fire
Say
“Love me in the dark”
Then you cut out every wire
Higher
Higher
You’re pulling on my desire
If I fall
Will you let me?
Or lift me higher?
[Verse 2]
You talk about forever
Like a dare you’ll never take
Lipstick on my collar
Spelling out the word “mistake”
But your eyes say “Stay
Don’t run”
Like a storm that loves the sun
I’m the match
You’re the gun
And you’re begging me to break
[Pre-Chorus]
Every whisper
Barbed with blame
Every kiss a kind of game
You say my broken name
Like a prayer you won’t claim (oh)
[Chorus]
Higher
Higher
You drag me through the fire
Say
“Love me in the dark”
Then you cut out every wire
Higher
Higher
You’re pulling on my desire
If I fall
Will you let me?
Or lift me higher?
[Bridge]
[Choir rises
Drums and bass swell]
Take me up
Or let me go
I’m done begging
You to pull me close
Take my breath
Or give it back
You can’t keep me
On this burning track (hey)
[Drop Chorus]
Higher
Higher
Feel the air grow tighter
I am done being small
In the corners of your silence
Higher
Higher
Hear my own heart riot
If I fall
It’s my choice
I’ll climb out of your violence
[Chorus]
Higher
Higher
I’m walking from the fire
I was born for the sky
Not the cage of your desire
Higher
Higher
Alone but I’m lighter
If I fall
I’ll remember
I can rise higher
BLACKLARK
