Cinder on the grid (version 2)

Verse

Steel beams rising through the grime

Smoke curls up behind the line

The bass is warm and slow today

I let my shoulders drop to stay

Concrete dust on my sleeve

We don't talk, we just move the feet

Burning wire on the top floor

Glass shatters when the heat comes for

Cinder falls like rain down here

No one's counting how many years

Chorus

Rise with the fire

Rise with the fire

Let it burn

Till I turn to ash and I'm gone

Rise with the fire

Let it rise

This is not a warning sign

I am on the other side of time

Verse

Wires melting, sparks in my hair

No one's leaving when the current's there

I lose count in this dark light show

Every step feels like letting go

Cinder sticks to my skin tonight

We don't ask how long it will take

The grid is hot and turning red

Heat on my neck from the wire that fed

Shadows move where the smoke begins

No one's waiting when we lose our skin

Chorus

Rise with the fire

Rise with the fire

Let it burn

Till I turn to ash and I'm gone

Rise with the fire

Let it rise

This is not a warning sign

I am on the other side of time

Bridge

No clock in this smoke

We don't count what we lose

Every spark is what remains

Of something that refused to stay

Chorus

Rise with the fire

Rise with the fire

Let it burn

Till I turn to ash and I'm gone

Rise with the fire

Let it rise

This is not a warning sign

I am on the other side of time
