Hibiscus Bruise

Lyrics

[Intro] Salt in the air, dust on the floor Boots hit hard, we want more [Verse 1] You came with a spark and a matchbook grin Now every locked door is rattling in Low strings bite through the heat and haze We turn one small spark into a blaze [Pre-Chorus] Hold tight, don't blink One breath from the edge No room, no retreat We step where the warning signs end [Chorus] Run it fast, run it dark Strike the ground and split the mark Heavy hands, open sky Raise the sound and multiply Run it fast, run it dark We were built to leave a scar When the whole world says slow down We take the long way through this town [Ukulele Break] Hey now, pass the bright red cup Hey now, everybody jump Little wooden strings cut clean Sweet heat hiding underneath [Verse 2] Black paint drying on the side of the van You laugh like trouble and I know your plan The floor kicks back, the ceiling shakes We make our own rules for the moves we make [Pre-Chorus] Hold tight, don't blink One breath from the edge No room, no retreat We step where the warning signs end [Chorus] Run it fast, run it dark Strike the ground and split the mark Heavy hands, open sky Raise the sound and multiply Run it fast, run it dark We were built to leave a scar When the whole world says slow down We take the long way through this town [Bridge] Cut the lights, leave the heartbeat One thin wire, then the floor speaks Bright little blade through the midnight Back to the weight on the next strike [Final Chorus] Run it fast, run it dark Strike the ground and split the mark Heavy hands, open sky Raise the sound and multiply Run it fast, run it dark We were built to leave a scar When the whole world says slow down We take the long way through this town [Outro] Fast feet, dark road Bright strings, heavy load No brakes, no doubt We take the long way out
