Verse 1 I check the locks again, just like before Count the clicks on the hallway floor A voice says, “Boy, you’re safe tonight” But my hands don’t feel it right The stove ain’t on, but I smell the flame Like memory etched in every frame The world’s still, but my pulse won’t slow Like I heard a scream no one else knows Verse 2 I see headlights where there ain’t no road Feel the weight of things I never owed I brace for storms that never come Like runnin’ from the loaded gun Ain’t no lion in the room But the air still shakes like doom Ain’t no siren in the air Still I breathe like something’s there Pre-Chorus You call it panic, I call it proof Of how I learned the world as truth Chorus It’s the right fire—just the wrong sky Right fear—but the wrong goodbye I feel what’s real before it breaks Like a ghost that knows what time it takes Don’t say it’s nothing, don’t call it lie It’s the right fire—just the wrong sky Verse 3 She said “you always brace for sorrow” And I said “grief comes back tomorrow” The past don’t need a reason, friend— It just rewinds at the bend So when my bones all scream retreat Don’t shame the echo in my feet It ain’t weakness, it ain’t show It’s just where the damage goes Bridge Some scars don’t fade—they ring like bells And pull your mind through unseen hells I ain’t broken—I’m rehearsed For the flood that never bursts. Chorus It’s the right fire—just the wrong sky Right fear—but the wrong goodbye I carry storms like sacred vows The when don’t match the why or how Don’t say I’m drowning—just let me try It’s the right fire—just the wrong sky
