Tracer Burns

Verse 1

Found your signature

Scribed in graphite on the floor

Water seeps beneath the door

You had no reason

This house is cold and hollow

Shadows linger where you stood

I would fix this if I could

End of the season

Pre-Chorus

Still biting my tongue

Telling myself I am fine

Tracer burns on the wall

Wait for the signal

Chorus

Break what is left of my ghost

Choke out the light I held most

I will not buckle under your blade

Safe in the mess that we made

I will survive

Keep it alive

Watching the bridge as it burns

Post-Chorus

Higher

The fire climbs higher

Higher

Verse 2

Rust on the gate

Dragging my feet through the yard

Played the final losing card

Nights spent in silence

Weight in my chest

Pulling me down to the mud

Salt is thicker than the blood

Quiet defiance

Pre-Chorus

Still biting my tongue

Telling myself I am fine

Tracer burns on the wall

Wait for the signal

Chorus

Break what is left of my ghost

Choke out the light I held most

I will not buckle under your blade

Safe in the mess that we made

I will survive

Keep it alive

Watching the bridge as it burns

Bridge

Cut the ties

Sever the thread

Lies you fed

Bury the name

Extinguish the blame

Rise from the red

Chorus

Break what is left of my ghost

Choke out the light I held most

I will not buckle under your blade

Safe in the mess that we made

I will survive

Keep it alive

Watching the bridge as it burns

Chorus

Break what is left of my ghost

Choke out the light I held most

I will not buckle under your blade

Safe in the mess that we made

I will survive

Keep it alive

Watching the bridge as it burns

Post-Chorus

Higher

The fire climbs higher

Higher

Climbs higher
