Before We Fade

Intro

Concrete walls don't talk

We keep this low for blocks beyond the block

Let it rise till the night is gone

Verse 1

Staircase creaks with every step we take

Whispering smoke where the lights used to shake

No one knows what happens here tonight

That's the way we keep it right

Sweat on my neck but nothing's in sight

Pre-Chorus

Every window's dark, every sound is small

But inside we know who stands tall

Chorus

We don't need a name to call

The roof comes down and we stand tall

We keep this low for blocks beyond the block

The night holds its breath, the light won't knock

We don't need a name to call

Verse 2

Bass drum hides behind the haze that climbs

Bare bulb flickers like it's running blind

Only three of us and the space we've found

We turn it up till the walls come down

No one watches here, no one looks in

Pre-Chorus

The whole city wants to know what's real

We keep this low and we feel

Chorus

We don't need a name to call

The roof comes down and we stand tall

We keep this low for blocks beyond the block

The night holds its breath, the light won't knock

We don't need a name to call

Bridge

So they can guess or so they try

This one door stays closed till we say goodbye

No more whispers, let it go tonight

No more hiding from the morning's fight

The roof comes down and we walk right out the door

No one asks us in, no one knows our score
