Fire Never Lies (Version 2)

Verse

Smoke in my chest where the old version died

Ribs cracked open wide as I cross that line

Ash on my collarbone, still learning how to breathe

Every scar tells a story I don't need to keep

Pre-Chorus

Something ancient waking up behind my eyes

I'm not running from it, this is mine

Skin gone raw but the flame won't die

It was never about being brave, just opening wide

Chorus

Fire never lies, fire never lies

Burns down everything that still denies

I am the smoke and I am the spark

Nothing left of me but what the dark just left its mark on

This is how you find your second name in flames

When the fear stops screaming out the same old names

Verse

Bones like charcoal, breath smells like rust

Every mirror shattered now, I trust the dust

Hands that used to hold onto something safe

Now are open wide for what it takes

Pre-Chorus

Something ancient waking up behind my eyes

I'm not running from it, this is mine

Skin gone raw but the flame won't die

It was never about being brave, just opening wide

Chorus

Fire never lies, fire never lies

Burns down everything that still denies

I am the smoke and I am the spark

Nothing left of me but what the dark just left its mark on

This is how you find your second name in flames

When the fear stops screaming out the same old names

Bridge

Ash settles soft where a phoenix was born

Every scar's a password into morning

I don't need a witness, I'm the proof it works

Letting go of everything that would have me stuck

Chorus

Fire never lies, fire never lies

Burns down everything that still denies

I am the smoke and I am the spark

Nothing left of me but what the dark just left its mark on

This is how you find your second name in flames

When the fear stops screaming out the same old names
