Burning Down the Static (Version 2)

Verse

Pipes are burning in the attic walls

Copper wires start to crawl and fall

Shadows move before I wake them now

Every echo has a name somehow

The old town crier is standing outside

Blowing on the amber coal tonight

Says the darkness knows what we're hiding

Turns his face to where the daylight's bridging

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing up through stone

Nothing left for me alone

Hear that heartbeat in the wall

Every pulse begins to call

Chorus

Let it burn before I break

Catch the fire as it cracks

No more hiding, no more sleep

Burning down the static now

Verse

Grandmother's dress behind the door

Silver buttons on the floor

Something hidden that we never told

Now the walls are turning gold

The river running under our feet

Every ripple where the current meets

This old town was built to keep it in

Turns out I'm the one who lets it spin

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing up through stone

Nothing left for me alone

Hear that heartbeat in the wall

Every pulse begins to call

Chorus

Let it burn before I break

Catch the fire as it cracks

No more hiding, no more sleep

Burning down the static now

Bridge

We never lit this flame together

It was waiting under every weather

Every door we thought would stay shut tight

Turns out this is where we take flight

Chorus

Let it burn before I break

Catch the fire as it cracks

No more hiding, no more sleep

Burning down the static now
