Set Everything on Fire

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] Gray morning pressed against the glass The harbor wore a film of oil A child refreshed the same blank feed While gulls circled a boiling foil I found your photo in the sink The paper softened into pulp We kept our hands inside the frame And called the silence being calm [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what survives the upload Tell me what the fire can’t erase Every window shows a stranger Every mirror buffers my face [Chorus] I woke up and set everything on fire Watched the plastic sea turn black All the things we swore would save us Never once came running back I woke up and set everything on fire Let the ash fall through the screen If the world is only breaking I’ll be honest when it leaves [Verse 2] The supermarket lights stayed on Though half the town had lost its power A woman laughed into her phone Beside a tower of bottled water Your last message said, “Are you there?” I typed three words and let them die Outside, the clouds were copper-red Inside, we learned to look away [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what survives the upload Tell me what the fire can’t erase Every window shows a stranger Every mirror buffers my face [Chorus] I woke up and set everything on fire Watched the plastic sea turn black All the things we swore would save us Never once came running back I woke up and set everything on fire Let the ash fall through the screen If the world is only breaking I’ll be honest when it leaves [Bridge] No signal in the basement No footsteps on the stairs Your name beneath the floorboards Still warmer than the air I held the match like a promise Then watched my hand go still Maybe losing everything Was the only thing we could feel [Final Chorus] I woke up and set everything on fire Gray sky folding into red All the little borrowed futures Burning softly in my head I woke up and set everything on fire Let the last blue pixels fade If there’s nothing left to rescue Let me mourn what we betrayed [Outro] The ocean has no color The room has no reply I woke up with empty hands And finally opened my eyes
