Wildfire Running Through the Bones (Version 2)

Verse

Sixteen winters stacked behind my eyes

Counting every mile that I survived

Concrete sky like a fist to the chest

Every light we lost is still on fire inside

I was born to burn but never learned how to stop

Every scar is just a page I never closed

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what it's worth to stay alive tonight

What's the point of breathing if this is all there is

Chorus

Hold my hands up, watch me catch fire

Nothing left to lose so I'm running higher

Every fear that I was ever told was true

I'm breaking every rule to break through

Wildfire running through the bones tonight

Wildfire burning till the morning light

Verse

Sirens fade away when the chorus kicks in

Every name they carved is carved out of my skin

The same old ground but it feels like we own it now

Nobody's watching, nobody's counting how

I was built to break and I'm not built to last

So let's dance through the ashes while we still have glass

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what it's worth to stay alive tonight

What's the point of breathing if this is all there is

Chorus

Hold my hands up, watch me catch fire

Nothing left to lose so I'm running higher

Every fear that I was ever told was true

I'm breaking every rule to break through

Wildfire running through the bones tonight

Wildfire burning till the morning light

Bridge

Maybe I don't need a reason to survive

Maybe I just needed something worth dying for tonight

So scream it with me, louder than we ever spoke

This is the only war that I was built for

Every voice in this room is proof that fire still exists

Chorus

Hold my hands up, watch me catch fire

Nothing left to lose so I'm running higher

Every fear that I was ever told was true

I'm breaking every rule to break through

Wildfire running through the bones tonight

Wildfire burning till the morning light
