Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sirens in the sky again
Blue and red across my skin
Neighbors boarding up their doors
Counting cans like counting sins
I still leave my window wide
Hot tea for the kids outside
Writing names in candlewax
So somebody knows they tried
[Pre-Chorus]
They tear the world in halves
Call the breaking “order”
But your hands are shaking like mine
[Chorus]
When the world starts burning down
Hold out your heart, don’t lay it on the ground
Let them scream, let them swing their crowns
We are the shelter in a shattered town
If the flood comes, if we all fall apart
I won’t let go of my
Compassion in the dark
[Verse 2]
Posters peeling off the walls
New decrees in bathroom stalls
Whispers blooming underground
Passing hope like smuggled salt
I still say your real name
When they tell me “all the same”
Hide a bandage in my sleeve
For the ones they call “to blame”
[Pre-Chorus]
They turn away their eyes
Swear that cruelty keeps them safe
But your pulse is pounding like mine
[Chorus]
When the world starts burning down
Hold out your heart, don’t lay it on the ground
Let them scream, let them swing their crowns
We are the shelter in a shattered town
If the flood comes, if we all fall apart
I won’t let go of my
Compassion in the dark
[Bridge]
Let them build their thrones of rust (oh)
Let them drink their fear and dust
I choose every fragile trust
Every trembling hand I touch
If mercy makes me weak
Then I’ll be weaker every week
I won’t bend my spine to hate
I was made to liberate
[Chorus]
When the world starts burning down
Hold out your heart, don’t lay it on the ground (hold it high)
Let them scream, let them swing their crowns
We are the shelter in a shattered town
If the flood comes, if we all fall apart
I won’t let go of my
Compassion in the dark
[Outro]
Sirens fade to distant rain
Ash is falling, hearts remain
Take my hand, we’ll face the spark
Compassion in the dark
