Every Spark Is a Warning (Version 2)

Verse

Fist through the plaster, fist through time

Every spark is a warning sign

Busted mirror in the darkened room

Shattered light that still cuts too deep

Mother said I'd never hold my ground

You're running from yourself till you hit the ground

I'm still standing right where she could see

This same cracked floor that used to be

Her shadow on the wall, her voice in mine

Whispering 'you'll never make it just fine

I let it echo like a curse and a test

Till every spark I throw is something I possess

Pre-Chorus

Do you hear me now?

Can you read my name on the inside of this pain?

Am I finally awake, or still stuck in the frame?

Every spark is a warning that I'm breaking through

Chorus

(Every spark) Every spark is a warning

(Is a warning) Is a warning that I'm leaving this behind

(I won't hold it tight) I won't hold it tight

(Gonna watch it burn) Watch it burn into something new and bright

Every spark is a warning, and I won't apologize

This fire in my chest, this light that I despise

Verse

Tattoo of the scar across her knee

She said 'you'll never escape what's meant to be

I took the pen and drew it on my own

Now every mark is a mile I've thrown away from home

Father said I'd never find my way

You're just a ghost of everything you say

But this same old voice that used to tell me I'm not enough

Is the only one that's loud enough

To chase these shadows down to the floor

Till every spark I throw is something more

Pre-Chorus

Do you hear me now?

Can you read my name on the inside of this pain?

Am I finally awake, or still stuck in the frame?

Every spark is a warning that I'm breaking through

Chorus

(Every spark) Every spark is a warning

(Is a warning) Is a warning that I'm leaving this behind

(I won't hold it tight) I won't hold it tight

(Gonna watch it burn) Watch it burn into something new and bright

Every spark is a warning, and I won't apologize

This fire in my chest, this light that I despise

Bridge

No more looking back for validation or peace of mind

Just the smoke and ash where everything used to be

I don't need your blessing, just your eyes to see

Every spark is a warning that I'm breaking free

Chorus

(Every spark) Every spark is a warning

(Is a warning) Is a warning that I'm leaving this behind

(I won't hold it tight) I won't hold it tight

(Gonna watch it burn) Watch it burn into something new and bright

Every spark is a warning, and I won't apologize

This fire in my chest, this light that I despise

Outro

(Every spark is a warning...)

I'm leaving this behind

Gonna light up the sky

Gonna watch it burn
