Rising Like Fire (version 2)

Verse 1

Warehouse door wide open, grey light bleeding in

Ash on my knuckles where the speaker was spinning

Three a.m. empty but I'm still holding on to

Whatever that spark was before it got blown out

Bare feet on concrete, breath like a fire drill

Every wall we ever hit still ringing from the fall

I keep the tape rolling just in case this stays

Something honest for once when the lights come back up today

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is it over or am I just numb yet?

Can you feel that ground shaking under your feet?

Chorus

Rising like fire, rising like fire

We don't stop till the black turns to silver

Every wall we built gets a second life now

Rising like fire, burning down

Hands up, watch it all come through

Verse 2

Six hours later, neon bleeding into blue

Your voice still ringing off the pipe and the door

I never thought I'd make it past half four

But your hands keep pulling mine back to the floor

Every scar on my ribs is a city I threw in

Every song that I wrote was just me trying not to lose this

So what do you say we don't let go now?

Watch it all turn gold right before our eyes somehow

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is it over or am I just numb yet?

Can you feel that ground shaking under your feet?

Chorus

Rising like fire, rising like fire

We don't stop till the black turns to silver

Every wall we built gets a second life now

Rising like fire, burning down

Hands up, watch it all come through

Bridge

Maybe I'm not chasing sunrise for the light at all

Maybe it's just you keeping me from falling back into it all

Hold my hands up higher, let that first light hit us both

I don't need to know where we end if this is how it stops

Chorus

Rising like fire, rising like fire

We don't stop till the black turns to silver

Every wall we built gets a second life now

Rising like fire, burning down

Hands up, watch it all come through
