Streetlights shaking through the pouring rain
Your name still living in the back of my brain
We were kids with gasoline hearts
Burning holes through the dark
Old black hoodie in the passenger seat
Broken headphones and tired dreams
We swore the world would know our names
Before the silence came
Pre-Chorus
Now every midnight feels like a war
But I’m not hiding anymore
Chorus
We were dancing in the ashes
While the skyline fell apart
Singing loud enough to drown out
Every fracture in our hearts
And even if the world goes under
Even if the lights don’t stay
I still see your ghost beside me
Leading me through the grey
After the fire
After the fire
We still remain
Verse 2
Neon reflections under my skin
Your memory cuts but it pulls me in
Every scar became a map
Leading me back
There were nights I almost disappeared
Drowning in the static and fear
But your voice still echoes clear
Like you’re still here
Pre-Chorus
Maybe broken doesn’t mean erased
Maybe pain still leaves a trace
Chorus
We were dancing in the ashes
While the skyline fell apart
Singing loud enough to drown out
Every fracture in our hearts
And even if the world goes under
Even if the lights don’t stay
I still see your ghost beside me
Leading me through the grey
After the fire
After the fire
We still remain
Breakdown
So light another match
Let the flames climb higher
I survived the wreckage
I survived the wire
Every nightmare
Every scar
Made me into who we are
I won’t fade
I won’t run
I’ll keep screaming at the sun
Final Chorus
We were dancing in the ashes
With the shadows and the scars
Turning all our lost tomorrows
Into constellations in the dark
And even when the cold surrounds me
I can feel the embers wake
Cause hope is just a heartbeat
That refuses to break
After the fire
After the fire
We still remain
Outro
Streetlights flicker down the avenue
And for the first time
I finally make it through
