Tide Before The Sunset (versione 2)

Verse

Fault line cracking in my spine

Concrete holds the weight of summers gone

Bassline humming low beneath the ice

I'm counting every breath like money spent

Every shadow on the wall is someone I used to be

The fuse that's burning slow inside me

Is waiting for a spark to break it free

Pre-Chorus

Tell me which way do I turn now

That the tide pulls back and still the whole floor shakes

Tell me who I'm fighting here tonight

Every version of myself I used to fake

Chorus

So let it break, so let it break

Rip wide open down the spine

I won't hold one more thing inside

This is the only way that's mine

I don't want to be a shadow left behind

When the fire breaks and the lights go red

Let it burn before the sunset falls

That's the only peace I understand at all

Verse

Old photograph, the corners curled like bark

Momma's laughter caught between two songs

I walked this hall with so much weight in my chest

Every step was just a promise that would fold

But today I'm not the kid who held on tight

Today I'm standing here and lighting up the night

Pre-Chorus

Tell me which way do I turn now

That the tide pulls back and still the whole floor shakes

Tell me who I'm fighting here tonight

Every version of myself I used to fake

Chorus

So let it break, so let it break

Rip wide open down the spine

I won't hold one more thing inside

This is the only way that's mine

I don't want to be a shadow left behind

When the fire breaks and the lights go red

Let it burn before the sunset falls

That's the only peace I understand at all

Bridge

Maybe burning means I'm waking up

Maybe every scar is a door

Not a wound but a bridge to walk on later

This isn't goodbye, this is a whole new shore

I don't need forgiveness from a mirror

Just the ash and smoke where I was hiding

Chorus

So let it break, so let it break

Rip wide open down the spine

I won't hold one more thing inside

This is the only way that's mine

I don't want to be a shadow left behind

When the fire breaks and the lights go red

Let it burn before the sunset falls

That's the only peace I understand at all
