Tremor — Harbor & Ember

Verse

Steel gate closing, harbor lights go blue

Frost on the window shaped like me and you

Copper wires humming through the pier

Last transmission, static in my ear

You leave your ember in my open palm

Says it'll keep me burning, keep me calm

The city's breathing through the fog below

Runes on the concrete glowing where you go

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground begin to shake

Every ending is a choice we make

Something in the dark says rise, don't fall

Chorus

This is the tremor before the dawn

Ground splits open, but we move on

Broken circuits learning how to mend

Every fracture is a place to begin

Shake the rust loose, let the current flow

This is the tremor, this is how we grow

Hold the fault line, feel it hum

This is the tremor before we become

Verse

Neon runes drip down the harbor wall

Your voice a signal through the drone's low call

You said the north star still remembers names

Even when the wires short and spark in flames

I keep the frequency behind my ribs

A low mythic pulse where the silence lives

The ferry engine turns to leave the bay

Smoke and starlight carry you away

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground begin to shake

Every ending is a choice we make

Something in the dark says rise, don't fall

Chorus

This is the tremor before the dawn

Ground splits open, but we move on

Broken circuits learning how to mend

Every fracture is a place to begin

Shake the rust loose, let the current flow

This is the tremor, this is how we grow

Hold the fault line, feel it hum

This is the tremor before we become

Bridge

Maybe the leaving isn't the end of the map

Maybe the fracture is where the light gets back

I'll build a beacon out of everything you left

And burn it brighter than the wreck

Chorus

This is the tremor before the dawn

Ground splits open, but we move on

Broken circuits learning how to mend

Every fracture is a place to begin

Shake the rust loose, let the current flow

This is the tremor, this is how we grow

Hold the fault line, feel it hum

This is the tremor before we become
