Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Empty parking lot rain
Smoke on my tongue
Breath hangs in the air
Like a name I won't say

Boot prints in black water
All the things I broke
Rust on my hands
From the bridges I choked

[Pre-Chorus]
Did I choose this ruin
Or did it choose me first?
Staring at the floodlight
Waiting to be cursed

[Chorus]
Set me on fire in the ashes of the floodlight
Burn my shadow till it finally lets me go
If there’s a God in all this gray and buzzing twilight
Tell him I’m done being made out of stone
(I’m done, I’m done)

[Verse 2]
Sleepless, spine to the wall
Teeth grit, jaw shakes
Every quiet second
Another fault line breaks

I trace old scars
Like unread maps
Every hidden corner
Another collapse

[Pre-Chorus]
If I tear this skin back
Will there be anything real?
Or just empty hollows
Where I used to feel?

[Chorus]
Set me on fire in the ashes of the floodlight
Burn my shadow till it finally lets me go
If there’s a God in all this gray and buzzing twilight
Tell him I’m done being made out of stone
(I’m done, I’m done)

[Bridge]
I won’t die like this
Backwards, bending
I want an honest end
Not this endless ending

Take my fear
Carve it clean from my chest
If I’m nothing after
Maybe nothing is rest
(yeah)

[Chorus]
Set me on fire in the ashes of the floodlight
Burn my shadow till it finally lets me go
If there’s a God in all this gray and buzzing twilight
Tell him I’m done being made out of stone
I’m done begging just to feel less alone
(less alone, less alone)
