Lyrics
INTRO
VERSE 1
Black smoke rising off the freight line
No map forward, no place to resign
I hung my fear on a rusted nail
A hollow frame, a bent detail
You taught me how the poison tastes
And left me rotting in the wastes
PRE-CHORUS 1
The air feels sharp like broken glass
The dark moves in and doesn’t pass
My soil is cracked, no harvest left
Just fading plans I used to steer
CHORUS 1
I’m at the bottom, I’m at the edge
Sinking deep beneath the ledge!
Swallowed by the dark again
Come erase the ghost I’ve been!
Define my name, rewrite the lines
Use me in your dark designs!
Cast me into brand new light
Or leave me crashing through the night!
VERSE 2
Staring straight into the hollow frame
Chasing echoes that forgot my name
You can't draw blood from a cold grey stone
But you left me bleeding here alone
The clock is ticking, the damage done
We’re dancing under a dying sun
PRE-CHORUS 2
The air feels sharp like broken glass
The dark moves in and doesn’t pass
My soil is cracked, no harvest left
Just fading plans I used to steer
CHORUS 2
I’m at the bottom, I’m at the edge
Sinking deep beneath the ledge!
Swallowed by the dark again
Come erase the ghost I’ve been!
Define my name, rewrite the lines
Use me in your dark designs!
Cast me into brand new light
Or leave me crashing through the night!
BREAKDOWN
Sinking lower, screaming louder!
Turn my history into powder!
Gaze too long into the black
The void starts speaking back
Define me! Break me!
Speak the word and re-create me!
FINAL CHORUS
I’m at the bottom, I’m at the edge
Sinking deep beneath the ledge!
Swallowed by the dark again
Come erase the ghost I’ve been!
Define my name, rewrite the lines
Use me in your dark designs!
Cast me into brand new light
Or leave me crashing through the night!
OUTRO
Just define me...
Use me in a sentence...
Before the dark...
Swallows the end.
END
