Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I lit a match In a flooded room Prayed your name Into the fumes I wore my knees Down to the bone Begging a ghost To pick up the phone [Pre-Chorus] Every answered silence Felt like blame I keep carving out a space You never claim [Chorus] I still reach for an empty sky Throat on fire as I ask you why If you’re gone Why do I still ache? Why does hope hurt more than the break? I still reach but I touch no hand Only air where you used to stand If you’re gone Why do I still bleed? Like you’re the wound I still need [Verse 2] I tore your words Right out of the frame Burned those pages Spat out your name But in the smoke I swear I saw The shape of comfort I thought I’d lost [Pre-Chorus] I scream “Are you cruel Or just not there?” Every curse I throw at you Is still a prayer [Chorus] I still reach for an empty sky Throat on fire as I ask you why If you’re gone Why do I still ache? Why does hope hurt more than the break? I still reach but I touch no hand Only air where you used to stand If you’re gone Why do I still bleed? Like you’re the wound I still need [Bridge] [Beat drops out Vocal alone] Will you watch me drown? Say something now Say something now (say something) I am not okay Do you like it this way? Do you like it this way? [Band + synths slam back in] I am choking on a faith that failed Still addicted to the fairy tale If you’re fiction Why do you feel Like the only part of me that’s real? [Breakdown] (yeah) Answer me Or bury me Answer me Or let me be My lungs are raw From calling your name I hate this hope But I cling to the pain (hey!) [Chorus] I still reach for an empty sky Throat on fire as I ask you why If you’re gone Why do I still ache? Why does hope hurt more than the break? I still reach but I touch no hand Only air where you used to stand If you’re gone Why do I still bleed? Like you’re the wound I still need [Outro] So I stand in the dark Hands up Eyes closed Talking to nothing That still feels close
