Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm... mm... mm...
(a breath)
Oh-oh-oh...
[Verse 1]
Cracks in the pavement
Wide enough to swallow the street
Sky peeled back like paper
And I'm standing on my own two feet
Fires on the horizon line
But I'm not running anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Let them break the world apart
Let them tear the stars apart
I'll be here
[Chorus]
Standing in the ember glow
Watching everything we know
Burn away, burn away
I won't look away
Standing in the ember glow
Holding what I couldn't hold before
Burn away, burn away
I won't look away
[Verse 2]
Ash falls like December snow
Quiet on my open hands
Every door I was afraid to open
Now I'll kick them down again
Lungs are filling with the smoke
But I'm breathing deeper now
[Pre-Chorus]
Let them break the world apart
Let them steal the final breath
I'll be here
[Chorus]
Standing in the ember glow
Watching everything we know
Burn away, burn away
I won't look away
Standing in the ember glow
Holding what I couldn't hold before
Burn away, burn away
I won't look away
[Bridge]
(Aaaah...)
Soft like a prayer before the crash
Loud like the silence after thunder passed
Maybe this was always coming
Maybe I was born for this
Maybe this was always coming
I was born for this
[Breakdown]
(Inhale)
One last heartbeat
One last war cry
One last chance to be alive
[Chorus]
Standing in the ember glow
Watching everything we know
Burn away, burn away
I won't look away
Standing in the ember glow
Holding what I couldn't hold before
Burn away, burn away
I won't look away
(Away... away...)
[Outro]
(Angel scream)
Mm... mm... mm...
(quiet)
Mm...
