[Verse 1] I woke with dust on my knuckles Ticket stub stuck in my shoe Bus door hiss, metal teeth I was already running to you Steel fence, red paint peeling Chain-link bent by the rain I kept my name in my pocket And my patience in a flame [Pre-Chorus] One wrong word And the room leans in I can feel it Starting again [Chorus] Burning turnstile, let me through Burning turnstile, I need truth I don’t stand still I don’t fold (Burning turnstile) Burning turnstile, watch me move Burning turnstile, I hit the roof I came alive In the rush (Burning turnstile) [Verse 2] Your laugh hit like a match strike On a dry gas can of pride I saw the whole night tilt sideways When you looked me in the eyes Cups on the counter, shaking Boots on the floor, hard steps Every old excuse I carried Went up in sparks on my breath [Pre-Chorus] One tight breath And the sparks take wing I can hear it Everything sing [Chorus] Burning turnstile, let me through Burning turnstile, I need truth I don’t stand still I don’t fold (Burning turnstile) Burning turnstile, watch me move Burning turnstile, I hit the roof I came alive In the rush (Burning turnstile) [Bridge] If I crash, I crash loud If I break, I break clean I’ve been carried too long Now I’m chasing the seam [Final Chorus] Burning turnstile, let me through Burning turnstile, I need truth I don’t stand still I don’t fold (Burning turnstile) Burning turnstile, watch me move Burning turnstile, I hit the roof I came alive In the rush (Burning turnstile)
