Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
You wear your silence like a loaded gun
Pointed at everyone who tries to love you
And every word falls sharp enough to cut
But I still crawl back through the blood to touch you
You say I’m better off without your storms
That I should run before the ceiling caves in
But I have lived inside your shadows so long
The dark feels more like home than escape did
[Pre-Chorus]
So scream my name
Like I’m the enemy again
If hatred keeps you breathing
Then let me be the skin you’re living in
[Chorus]
Go on and break me if it keeps you alive
Turn me into ashes in the middle of the night
I’ll stay when the whole world disappears
Hold your venom like a prayer to my lips
You can bury me beneath your war
Drag me through the wreckage of what we are
But I won’t leave
No, I won’t run
I’ll carry your ghost
Even if it kills me slowly
[Verse 2]
You hide your wounds behind a bitter grin
Like suffering is all you know to trust in
And every time you push me to the edge
I hear the fear underneath your destruction
You tell me love was never built to last
That every soul eventually abandons
So you destroy the bridge before it burns
Just to say you saw the fire coming
[Pre-Chorus]
So blame me now
If it keeps your hands from shaking
I’d rather drown beside you
Than watch you disappear while I’m still waiting
[Chorus]
Go on and break me if it keeps you alive
Turn me into ashes in the middle of the night
I’ll stay when the whole world disappears
Hold your venom like a prayer to my lips
You can bury me beneath your war
Drag me through the wreckage of what we are
But I won’t leave
No, I won’t run
I’ll carry your ghost
Even if it kills me slowly
[Bridge]
And maybe I’m a fool
Maybe love should know when to die
But I see the shattered little boy
Still screaming somewhere behind your eyes
And if you can’t believe you’re worth saving
Then let me believe enough for us both
Until your hands stop trembling
Until your heart remembers
It’s not too late to come home
[Final Chorus]
So break me open
Leave your scars beneath my skin
I’d rather feel this agony
Than never feel you again
When you’re drowning in your anger
When the monsters pull you under
When you swear you’re too far gone to love
I’ll still be here
I’ll still be here
Carrying your ghost
Through the fire
Through the ruin
Through the ache you never show
Even if you never know
You were worth bleeding for
[Outro]
...I’m still here...
