Burning in Every Room (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse 1

Packed the heat into a gym bag by my door

Counting every hour till I'm through that doorway

Sirens quiet down when the bassline drops low

Every name I'm hiding now starts to let go

Smoke and static in the mirror, four in the night

City's asleep but it ain't sleeping tight

I've been locked up for a year, I know every wall

Now this concrete floor is breaking open all

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that ceiling start to bend?

Every cell in my chest begins

To break through walls they built behind me

Watch the whole block shake off time

We don't need permission, we just move

I was locked down but I'm loose now — leave it go

Chorus

Burning in every room that we turn to fire

Every door we lock is just something to climb higher

Hands up where the sirens disappear

Nobody's stopping us from burning here

No more names on paper, no more chains to break

This is how I learn to walk outside of fear — wake

Verse 2

Nail polish peeling off my knuckles slow

Every song we make turns into something whole

They counted every barb in the yard out back

Now they're counting up just how much we can attack

Taped a paper kite onto the fire escape thread

Watched the block turn orange when I let it feed

I've been hiding who I really am beneath this mask

Tonight that shadow starts to break the glass

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that ceiling start to bend?

Every cell in my chest begins

To break through walls they built behind me

Watch the whole block shake off time

We don't need permission, we just move

I was locked down but I'm loose now — leave it go

Chorus

Burning in every room that we turn to fire

Every door we lock is just something to climb higher

Hands up where the sirens disappear

Nobody's stopping us from burning here

No more names on paper, no more chains to break

This is how I learn to walk outside of fear — wake

Bridge

I don't need permission to light this block tonight

Every lock they put around me turns into a spark in sight

The only thing that could ever stop us now

Is the floor beneath our feet giving way somehow

Chorus

Burning in every room that we turn to fire

Every door we lock is just something to climb higher

Hands up where the sirens disappear

Nobody's stopping us from burning here

No more names on paper, no more chains to break

This is how I learn to walk outside of fear — wake
