[Intro]
Clean strings
Dripping echoes
Red exit sign
Humming over us
You trace my scars like constellations
Say
“You’ve always been too much”
[Verse 1]
Woke up with your name
Printed on the hospital band
Taste of iron
Broken glass
In the back of my throat again
You said
“Grow up
Stop burning”
I said
“Watch how high I climb”
Every fall
Every fracture
Just another step in time
[Chorus]
I wear a faultline halo
Cracked but shining over me
Every break just makes it
Glow a little brighter
You’ll see
You tried to pull me under
But I’m standing in the quake
I wear a faultline halo
And I will never
Ever break
[Verse 2]
Your words hit like rivets
Hammered through my younger skin
Every echo still flickers
But it doesn’t get within
Got a spine built from pressure
From the weight you threw around
Now I dance on your tremors
Feel the shaking in the ground
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You built a cage from doubt
I built a stage from it
You lit the match in spite
I learned to live in it
You drew the line in sand
I drew it through your name
You tried to script my end
I rewrote every frame
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Same room
Lights buzzing
Same cracks in the ceiling above
My shadow taller
Sharper
Walking past the ghost of us
