Come Up in the Dark (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Corner store sign still flickers dim

Fifty cents for a pack of gum

Barefoot steps across the street

Pigeon wings like they own the block

Nobody checking up on me

Sneakers squeak across the blacktop

I ain't got the keys to nothing

Just the wind off that open window

Sixteen years and counting down

Every scar I keep myself for

Somebody taught it to me young

That pain's just a muscle, not a bone

Pre-Chorus

So what if they never asked where you're at tonight?

What if nobody called my name tonight?

Something in the basement started to hum

Something building underneath this floor, underneath this town

I don't need the answer to stay here till it's done

Chorus

Come up in the dark, we ain't afraid of nothing

Turn the static into something beautiful and raw

Bones still shaking from the way you used to make me feel

Come up in the dark where nothing matters, just this heat

Every scar I keep myself for is armor, not defeat

Verse

Palm trees swaying like they're keeping time

Sweat on my collarbone got a rhythm of its own

Someone's knocking on the kitchen door

Not because they came back for me, more like they found something worth holding onto

I ain't never gonna need a hero to save my skin

This floor was built before any of them ever knew I'd be standing here

Pre-Chorus

So what if they never asked where you're at tonight?

What if nobody called my name tonight?

Something in the basement started to hum

Something building underneath this floor, underneath this town

I don't need the answer to stay here till it's done

Chorus

Come up in the dark, we ain't afraid of nothing

Turn the static into something beautiful and raw

Bones still shaking from the way you used to make me feel

Come up in the dark where nothing matters, just this heat

Every scar I keep myself for is armor, not defeat

Bridge

They built walls to keep me from walking back that way

I tore through them like they're made of paper

What they didn't understand was it wasn't about revenge

It was about owning every single second you ever gave me

Not a single brick ever cracked under all the weight

Just the sound of my own heartbeat learning how to hold its ground

Chorus

Come up in the dark, we ain't afraid of nothing

Turn the static into something beautiful and raw

Bones still shaking from the way you used to make me feel

Come up in the dark where nothing matters, just this heat

Every scar I keep myself for is armor, not defeat
