Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Night on my chest
Breath like a stone in my throat
Hands in a prayer
To a sky that never spoke
I trace every scar
Like a map that leads nowhere
Heart beating loud
In a room that does not care
[Verse 2]
Shadows in frames
Every promise cracked and torn
Names on my tongue
Of the ones who watched me burn
I tried being steel
Till the weight cut through the bone
I tried being still
But the storm lived in my bones
[Pre-Chorus]
So what is this fire
That will not fall asleep
This quiet desire
That keeps on calling me
[Chorus]
I was broken
I was burning
On the floor of my own war
But the embers kept on turning
Into something more
Something more (oh)
Through the ashes
Through the aching
Through the questions in the dark
I was carried by an aching
By a whisper in my heart
From the ruin
From the mourning
You are pulling me to morning
[Verse 3]
Feet in the dust
But I feel the ground breathe back
All of this rust
Starts to flake and fade to black
I open my hands
Let the grief fall like the rain
I open my mouth
And it sings through all the pain (oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe this fire
Was a lantern on the sea
Every lost hour
Was a tide returning me
[Chorus]
I was broken
I was burning
On the floor of my own war
But the embers kept on turning
Into something more
Something more (yeah)
Through the ashes
Through the aching
Through the questions in the dark
I was carried by an aching
By a whisper in my heart
From the ruin
From the mourning
You are pulling me to morning
[Bridge]
I lay my armor down
Hear a thousand voices rise
All the ones who walked before
Singing “lift your weary eyes”
Every tear becomes a river
Every river turns to light
And the ache inside my chest
Opens slowly into quiet
[Chorus]
I was broken
I was burning
On the floor of my own war
But the embers kept on turning
Into something more
Something more
Through the ashes
Through the aching
Through the questions in the dark
I was carried by an aching
By a whisper in my heart
From the ruin
From the mourning
You are pulling me to morning
[Outro]
Now the night grows thin
Every edge is framed in gold
I breathe and I am held
Like a story finally told
All the restless noise
Softly falling out of reach
In the silence
In the shining
I am finally at peace (mmm)
