Endsong Inferno

Ash in my lungs

Fire in my tongue

Endsong inferno

Watch what I become (yeah)

Black boots on the stage

Scuff marks, cracked paint, rage

Lipstick like a war flag

Heartbeat in a body bag

I was quiet in the back row

Now I’m writing the last show

Turn the flag to a flare, glow

Every doubt in the air? Gone

You prayed for my downfall

Now you’re framed on my wall

Little trophies of talkers

While I walk through the embers, sharper

Endsong inferno

This is the last page, burn slow (burn slow)

Every closed door, that’s my window

I turn the ending to an intro

Endsong inferno

Say my name when the sky goes yellow (say it)

If it’s the last song, I’m the echo

I’m the flame that you can’t let go

Charred notes in a notebook

Dead plans that I outgrew

I don’t argue, I outdo

Turn scars into tattoos

You tried to write my credits

Tried to edit my edits

But I broke out the margins

Now my name on the marquee, star-lit

I don’t beg for a mention

I’m the bar, I’m the tension

Every line is a match head

Every beat is a step through the black, red

Look close at the fallout

You can see what I’m about

That girl that you wrote off

Turned the shutdown to a shutdown (hey!)

Endsong inferno

This is the last page, burn slow (burn slow)

Every closed door, that’s my window

I turn the ending to an intro

Endsong inferno

Say my name when the sky goes yellow

If it’s the last song, I’m the echo

I’m the flame that you can’t let go
