Thread Between the Towers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rain on the fire escape, sirens down below A red light cuts the clouds where the midnight windows glow You pull the mask across your face, leave the fear behind A promise made in Queens keeps pulling at your mind [Pre-Chorus] Every fall becomes a lesson Every bruise becomes a scar You don't need a cape to carry All the people where you are [Chorus] Swing over the avenue, hold the whole night steady When the rooftops start to shake, you are already ready With a thread between the towers and a heart that won't retreat You turn the fear of a million souls into a reason to believe [Verse 2] A paper cup goes cold beside an unfinished page A photograph reminds you there is more than just the rage The city knows your footsteps, though it never knows your name You save a stranger from the dark and disappear before the flame [Pre-Chorus] Every choice has consequences Every truth can leave a mark Still you run toward the danger When the streets go black [Chorus] Swing over the avenue, hold the whole night steady When the rooftops start to shake, you are already ready With a thread between the towers and a heart that won't retreat You turn the fear of a million souls into a reason to believe [Bridge] If the world comes down in pieces If the sirens call you late You will rise above the wreckage You will meet it at the gate Not because you cannot tremble Not because you cannot fall But because the ones who need you Are worth giving everything at all [Final Chorus] Swing over the avenue, carry dawn already When the rooftops start to shake, you are already ready With a thread between the towers and a heart that won't retreat You turn the fear of a million souls into a reason to believe [Outro] Morning finds an empty rooftop A red thread in the breeze Somewhere high above the city You are moving through the trees
