Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Three AM and the streetlights flicker low
Phone buzzes on the nightstand steady like a drum
Backpack full of notebooks where the plans go
Every closed door just a reason to run
I been building bridges out of borrowed time
Every scar a chapter that I learned to sign
They told me slow down but the pace is mine
Got the hunger in my chest and it's still climbing
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
And I know that the road bends
But I don't
But I don't need a friend when the fire's the end
[Chorus]
Got a name to carry and a flame to keep
Steady with the vision while the world's asleep
Rise until the morning when the streets are steep
I got a name to carry and a flame to keep
[Post-Chorus]
Carry it
Carry it
Carry it with me
Flame to keep
Flame to keep
Flame to keep burning
[Verse 2]
Late night in the kitchen with the radio low
Momma said the world takes more than you know
Folded up the lesson and I let it grow
Every single miss taught me how to throw
They want the short cut want the easy road
I been on my own making heavy loads
Pockets thin but the story's in the code
Watch me turn the pressure into solid gold
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
And I know that the road bends
But I don't
But I don't need a friend when the fire's the end
[Chorus]
Got a name to carry and a flame to keep
Steady with the vision while the world's asleep
Rise until the morning when the streets are steep
I got a name to carry and a flame to keep
[Post-Chorus]
Carry it
Carry it
Carry it with me
Flame to keep
Flame to keep
Flame to keep burning
[Bridge]
They can take the hours
They can take the shine
Never gonna touch what's burning in my mind
Echo of a promise
Wave against the tide
I'm the one who's standing when the others hide
