[Intro]
Running on breath and faith
Dust on my name
On my face
Old scars under this sleeve
Feel them burning when I breathe
[Verse 1]
Paper dreams in my pocket
Names carved deep in the bark
Every promise
Every secret
Still echo out in the dark
Shadows stretch on the training field
Splinters stuck in my hands
If I fall
I fall forward
Face first into the plan
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me
How many times
Can the sky split apart?
If the world turns away
Will you meet me at the start?
[Chorus]
Crimson resolve
I’m not turning back
Even if the sun goes black
If I break
Then I’ll break through
I carry every bond to you
Crimson resolve
Let the past ignite
Tear these doubts out of my sight
If I fall
I’ll rise anew
’Cause this path began with you
[Verse 2]
Footsteps cut through the silence
Shuriken stuck in the wall
Laughing loud on the rooftop
Back when we felt ten feet tall
Names crossed out on the mission sheet
Faces fading in the rain
I still shout what we swore then
So the storm can hear your names
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me
How many tears
Till the pain feels like steel?
If I bleed for this dream
Will it finally turn real?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I lose myself
To the weight I hold
Would you call me back
By the name you chose?
[building]
All the “never”s that we yelled
Shattered weapons on the ground
From the edge
From the edge
I’m still reaching out
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Crimson resolve
Yeah
I shout it out
Breath by breath
I kill the doubt
Step by step
I cut through
This tomorrow next to you
