Every Circuit Fades to Gold (Version 2)

Verse 1

Last bus rumbled down the empty street

Headlights fading into neon heat

I lit a match against the darkened pane

Watching every circuit fade to gold again

City's holding on by broken wire

Barefoot kids dancing through the fire

Pre-Chorus

Let it burn, let it break

Every night is just a mistake

Can I keep this fire in my chest?

Or will it turn to rust before we've reached the rest

Chorus

We're burning out of control

Every circuit fades to gold

City's holding on by broken wire

But I won't turn into ash

I'll carry every spark inside

Verse 2

Pawnshop sign is locked, but light still spills

Into my palm where the cigarette ends dwill

The alleyway is empty now except for smoke

Every building hums a different broken clock

My mother's voice kept saying 'don't get lost

I'm finding something in this burning ghost

Pre-Chorus

Let it burn, let it break

Every night is just a mistake

Can I keep this fire in my chest?

Or will it turn to rust before we've reached the rest

Chorus

We're burning out of control

Every circuit fades to gold

City's holding on by broken wire

But I won't turn into ash

I'll carry every spark inside

Bridge

This isn't giving in, it's just getting free

I'm made of wires and a heartbeat that don't need a key

Hold my hand through all the embers we've left behind

Every circuit fading into gold, this is how I shine

Chorus

We're burning out of control

Every circuit fades to gold

City's holding on by broken wire

But I won't turn into ash

I'll carry every spark inside
