[male] I’ve been staring at the cracks in the ceiling, Counting every lie I tried to believe. Every step feels like a circle I’m chasing, Trying to find the man I used to be. [female] I’ve been holding onto things that are broken, Trying to glue together pieces of time. Every word feels like it’s fading to static, Every truth feels just like a lie. [together, hauntingly soft] And we keep walking through the fire, Clinging to a thread of hope. But the flame burns higher and higher, And we’re too afraid to let it go. [male] I’ve been running through the dark without reason, Chasing shadows that I’ll never define. Every door just leads to more questions, Every turn takes me further behind. [female] I’ve been reaching for the stars out of habit, But the light feels further every day. Every promise feels like a thread unraveling, Every goodbye pulls me away. [together, building intensity] And we keep walking through the fire, Clinging to a thread of hope. But the flame burns higher and higher, And we’re too afraid to let it go. [male & female, crescendo] Do we stand, do we fight, do we break it apart? Do we tear down the walls and rebuild from the start? Do we risk it all just to find what’s true, Or do we let the fire consume me and you? [together, soaring] We’re caught in the flames, but we won’t surrender, Even as the heat tears the air asunder. We rise, we fall, we burn, we mend, But this fire won’t be our end. [male & female, haunting refrain] Every crack is a line that tells a story, Every scar is proof we made it through. We’re not perfect, we’re not whole, But we’re more than what we ever knew. [together, fading out] We keep walking through the fire, Clinging to a thread of hope. And the flame burns higher and higher, But we won’t ever let it go.
