[Verse 1] Sitting here among the dark Counting cracks across the floor We kept the match in separate hands Then dropped it right before the door Ash on your sleeve, dust on my tongue We wore the ruin like a crown I hear your name inside the hush And every wall leans in to drown [Pre-Chorus] If you still feel it, say it now If there’s a thread, pull hard I’ve been holding up the night With both hands on a broken spark [Chorus] Light this torch for us Light this torch for us We can trust the flame Even if it shakes Light this torch for us Light this torch for us From the ruined dust Make a brand new shape [Verse 2] Your eyes are tired, mine are too We’ve been walking through the smoke Every promise got stained gray Every soft word turned to stone But I still see a line of gold Under all this scraped-up skin Maybe love’s just waiting there For somebody to let it in [Pre-Chorus] If you still feel it, say it now If there’s a thread, pull hard I’ve been holding up the night With both hands on a broken spark [Chorus] Light this torch for us Light this torch for us We can trust the flame Even if it shakes Light this torch for us Light this torch for us From the ruined dust Make a brand new shape [Bridge] Let the black sky split Let it burn too bright I don’t need forever I just need tonight Give me one small sign Give me one true start I’ll bring the shaking hands You bring the beating heart [Final Chorus] Light this torch for us Light this torch for us We can trust the flame Even if it shakes Light this torch for us Light this torch for us From the ruined dust Make a brand new shape Light this torch for us Light this torch for us Hold it to the dark Till it learns our name
