Where the Static Learns to Sing (έκδοση 2)

Intro

Static hush, then a low string hum

Headlights bleeding into kingdom come

Verse

Gasoline eyes on the dashboard glow

Every exit sign says let it go

I've been folding matches into paper cranes

Watching them catch in the window frames

Six years of letters in a coffee can

Strike the box, watch the ash land

Radio dial full of ghost-town static

Every chord I loved gone automatic

Porch light flickers like it's keeping score

I don't live here, not anymore

Packed a bag with the smoke still warm

Called it closure, called it a storm

Tail lights write our names in red

Every word we swore is already dead

Chorus

Burn it down, burn it clean

Let the smoke erase the scene

Watch the static learn to sing

In the ashes of everything

Burn it down, start again

Nothing's holy till the end

Watch the static learn to sing

Where the fire meets the wind

Verse

Empty bottles on the interstate line

Counting mile markers like a countdown sign

Rearview mirror full of yesterday

Every town I torched along the way

Left the porch key underneath the mat

Left a note that just said that's that

Guitar strings snapped in the back of the car

Still humming louder than the northern star

Static bleeds into a melody

Sounds like something close to being free

Every bridge behind me turned to light

Every shadow learning how to write

its name in embers, its name in dust

Nothing left here I can trust

except the hum beneath the wheel

the only thing that still feels real

Chorus

Burn it down, burn it clean

Let the smoke erase the scene

Watch the static learn to sing

In the ashes of everything

Burn it down, start again

Nothing's holy till the end

Watch the static learn to sing

Where the fire meets the wind

Bridge

Maybe the ruin was the only door

Maybe I was always meant for more

than borrowed rooms and burrowed light

I'm done apologizing for the fight

Every scar's a compass now

Every fall taught me how

to build a home out of the flame

and never answer to the old name

Chorus

Burn it down, burn it clean

Let the smoke erase the scene

Watch the static learn to sing

In the ashes of everything

Burn it down, start again

Nothing's holy till the end

Watch the static learn to sing

Where the fire meets the wind

Burn it down, burn it clean

Louder now than we've ever been

Outro

Static hush, then a low string hum

Somewhere the sirens turn to drums

Ash on the highway, dawn breaking through

I built this fire and I'm walking through
