[Verse 1]
You’re the crack in my armor
tiny line through the steel
You’re the bruise on my ego
that never quite heals
We were wolves in a back row
ink stains, black coats, bad plans
Sharing secrets in a language
that only we understand (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re the echo in my ribcage
Bouncing off the bones you broke
Every word you ever whispered
Still rising in my throat
I keep pushing you to silence
But your shadow doesn’t go
You’re the echo in my ribcage
Screaming soft, “don’t let me go”
[Verse 2]
You’re the glitch in my halo
static sparks in my veins
Turning moonlight to gunpowder
kissing rust on my chains
We were roses in a graveyard
red thorns, black lace, cold sky
Saying “love me like an ending”
you said “love me like a crime” (hey)
[Chorus]
You’re the echo in my ribcage
Bouncing off the bones you broke
Every word you ever whispered
Still rising in my throat
I keep pushing you to silence
But your shadow doesn’t go
You’re the echo in my ribcage
Screaming soft, “don’t let me go”
[Bridge]
Heartbeat stutter
like a hard-cut sample
Face in the dark
that I still can’t cancel
If this is doom
then I want all of it
Let the sky fall
I will still call your name (your name)
[Chorus]
You’re the echo in my ribcage
Bouncing off the bones you broke
Every word you ever whispered
Still rising in my throat
I keep pushing you to silence
But your shadow doesn’t go
You’re the echo in my ribcage
Screaming soft, “don’t let me go”
Don’t let me go
(don’t let me go)
