[Verse 1 — Screamed]
Concrete edge, neon rain, I counted broken beats
Skyline cracked like thunder, my pulse in fading streets
You found me on the rooftop, singed hair, shaking hands
Taste of diesel on your lips — pulled me from the plan
Ash on my jacket, your lighter still aglow
Stain of your name across the cuff of my coat
You gripped my jaw, said 'not tonight,' and I believed the lie
Then you wrapped my ribs with reason — kept me from the sky
[Pre-Chorus — Clean]
Every scar remembers how you held me close
In the hush between the sirens, you became my home
[Chorus — Clean]
Ash on my hands — your name in my night
You pull me from the blaze, you drag me to the light
[Chorus Tag — Screamed]
[Screamed] I fall — you pull me from the blaze!
[Gang Vocals] Pull me up! Pull me up! (Pull me up!)
[Verse 2 — Screamed]
I came back with a suitcase full of holes and rusted threads
Medals dulled, the papers said I should have been dead
You washed the salt from my sleeve, cuffed my trembling scars
Pressed a coin into my palm and mapped the flight of stars
Your laugh cut through the static — clean and unexpectedly sweet
You put a match to every doubt and watched the dark deplete
The city kept its distance, but you leaned in like a tide
Your shadow braided into mine, the place where I reside
[Pre-Chorus — Clean]
Every hush becomes a vow when you're the steady sound
When the world tilts and crumbles, you keep me on the ground
[Chorus — Clean]
Ash on my hands — your name in my night
You pull me from the blaze, you drag me to the light
[Chorus Tag — Screamed]
[Screamed] I fall — you pull me from the blaze!
[Gang Vocals] Pull me up! Pull me up! (Never break!)
[Bridge — Clean, then whispered]
Minimal strings — heartbeat slow
I am smaller than the skyline, bruise of a man, undone
Whispered: "Stay here with me — learn the shape of my lungs"
(Ash on my hands — your name carved in my night)
[Explode — Transition to Screamed]
Then the quiet snaps like wire — and we roar
[Breakdown — Screamed / Punchy Fragments]
Hit — ground
Grip — bone
Hold — don't drop
Ash — anchor
Break — through
You — my knot
(Shout) Rise! Rise! Rise!
[Gang Vocals] Rise! Rise! Rise! (Rise!)
[Final Chorus — Clean w/ Screamed Tag]
Ash on my hands — your name in my night
You pull me from the blaze, you drag me to the light
[Chorus Tag — Screamed — call-and-response]
[Screamed] You're the anchor in my crash!
[Clean Response] You're the anchor in my crash
[Gang Vocals] You're the anchor! (Anchor!)
[Outro — Clean, fading to whisper]
Ash on my hands — your name carved in my night
Singed skin, fractured skyline — we stand, we fight
Whisper: Forever bound by the moment you reached
Forever marked — ash on my hands, your name in my reach
