Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke with a crow in my mouth,
Feathers and blood, can't spit it out.
Eyes like nailheads, cross-shaped smoke,
Midnight sermon from a preacher broke.

Wheels still spinning in the dirt I came from,
Bible full of burn marks, pages gone numb.
Mama said "Repent," but I just ran,
Chained to a curse with a gun in my hand.


---

[Chorus]
Ash in my lungs, flame in my veins,
Kissed by the fire, baptized in pain.
Riding that line 'tween heaven and sin,
I don’t wanna die, but I won’t walk in.

Tell that angel don’t bother with wings—
This soul don’t fly, it burns and it sings.
Ash in my lungs, ash in my lungs,
Midnight revival, speakin’ in tongues.


---

[Verse 2]
Old No-Limbs laughin’ in the rearview dim,
Hummed me a hymn with a neck full’a sin.
"Boy," he said, "you smell like fate—
Like burnt-up choices and a locked gate."

We passed the church where I once swore clean,
Cross fell sideways, blinked like a dream.
Now I preach with a chainsaw choir,
Screamin’ hallelujah through chickenwire.


---

[Bridge]
Cracked open heaven with a crowbar prayer,
God just stared, like he wasn’t all there.
Blood on my boots, grace on delay,
Ain’t no saints out here, just debt to pay.


---

[Chorus – Repeat, slow, haunted]
Ash in my lungs, flame in my veins,
Kissed by the fire, baptized in pain.
Riding that line 'tween heaven and sin,
I don’t wanna die, but I won’t walk in.

Tell that angel don’t bother with wings—
This soul don’t fly, it burns and it sings.
Ash in my lungs, ash in my lungs,
Midnight revival, speakin’ in tongues...
