Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I broke the armor Of fear and pride Turned all that sorrow Into a crooked smile Kept my tears hidden In a rusted safe Saved every shiver For when I turned the page [Chorus] I poured my pain into pages Let it burn Let it blaze through the lines All of my ghosts in the margins Learning to haunt me kind I poured my pain into pages Every scar in a tangled phrase If I ever lose my courage I can find it in the fire I made [Verse 2] I pulled these motives From my tangled chest Held them up shaking Then I fed them to the flame Watched my old stories Curl into smoke Stood in the ashes Finally letting go [Chorus] I poured my pain into pages Let it burn Let it blaze through the lines All of my ghosts in the margins Learning to haunt me kind I poured my pain into pages Every scar in a tangled phrase If I ever lose my courage I can find it in the fire I made [Bridge] If I crack If I cave (oh oh) I’ll write my way out again Ink on my fingers Is how I remember my name [Chorus] I poured my pain into pages Let it burn Let it blaze through the lines All of my ghosts in the margins Learning to haunt me kind I poured my pain into pages Every scar in a tangled phrase If I ever lose my courage I can find it in the fire I made

Smoky alt-pop with intimate male vocals over fingerpicked guitar and soft electronic pulses; verses stay hushed and confessional, then the chorus widens with airy pads and stacked harmonies. Subtle toms and reverse cymbals lift transitions; bridge strips back to vocal and guitar before a final, soaring hook.
