Skin turns gold in the dark (version 2)

Verse

Snowline burning like a knife blade drawn

Your eyes are amber in the fire's dawn

Frosty window, steam off your breath

Every beat is thunder under my skin

Wolves outside howl for what we don't have yet

You hold my collar, I'm running blind

Bare feet on ice where shadows fold

I never trusted light till you lit it cold

This isn't me burning out of control

It's just the current breaking through to gold

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it rising like the tide before dawn?

Every heartbeat screaming something I don't have yet

Chorus

Skin turns gold in the dark

Skin turns gold in the dark

I'm a spark before the light even comes on

This is where the fire finds me, now I am gone

Skin turns gold in the dark

Wild and open under this amber glow

Let it burn the color off my bones

Verse

Polar wind through curtains, your hand tracing mine

Torchlight flickering like a heart that's losing time

You're not just holding me up against the storm

You're drawing every shadow back inside

I never knew I was a bird till you lit the cage

Now I'm breaking free and I won't turn this page twice

Every window blown off, every lock that gave way

This is where my story starts with nothing left to say

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it rising like the tide before dawn?

Every heartbeat screaming something I don't have yet

Chorus

Skin turns gold in the dark

Skin turns gold in the dark

I'm a spark before the light even comes on

This is where the fire finds me, now I am gone

Skin turns gold in the dark

Wild and open under this amber glow

Let it burn the color off my bones

Bridge

No more walls, no more glass, just heat against your skin

Let go of everything we were meant to keep within

Chorus

Skin turns gold in the dark

Skin turns gold in the dark

I'm a spark before the light even comes on

This is where the fire finds me, now I am gone

Skin turns gold in the dark

Wild and open under this amber glow

Let it burn the color off my bones
