Blaze a Trail

Verse 1

Shiver

Street left silver

Beneath my boots, the blue turns black

Windswept

I wait, chin tucked

Heart heavy, sky gone slack

You said, keep moving, don’t flinch

In my collar—your voice, a soft pinch

But empty hands freeze fast

Snow falls first, then melts last

Chorus

Light always finds us

Past heavy frost, past iron gates

I see you, arms wide as August

Slow thaw, the sun won’t hesitate

Post-Chorus

Burn it down, blaze a trail

Burn it down, blaze a trail

[Verse 2] (Duet)

(Nothing burns, nothing bright, I say)

(Nothing left but the icy gray)

(But I remember every laugh)

(Warm breath, on my knuckles cracked)

Maybe hope hides in the hollows

Maybe warmth waits under skin

Maybe we’re both broken, but borrowed

But I’ll let the summer sink in

Chorus

Light always finds us

No matter the cracks or the ice

Your courage—burned into my fingertips

Shadows scatter when you rise

Post-Chorus

Burn it down, blaze a trail

Blaze a trail, burn it down

Bridge

I know it snows, you know it melts

We bury deep, we run, we doubt

Still, you whisper—run to the fire

Still, I answer, still, I answer

[Chorus] (Duet)

(Light always finds us)

(Nothing colder than distance)

(I reach, I reach—)

(You burn right through resistance)

Post-Chorus

Burn it down, blaze a trail

Burn it down, burn it down

Outro

Long night, short sigh

Heat in the hollows, you and I

Light always wins, we know why

Light always wins, you and I
