(Verse 1) I still hear your voice in the static of the night Ghost of your shadow in the dying candlelight The bed's still warm on your side, but you're gone I'm talking to nothing, singing this song (Pre-Chorus) Walls are closing, closing in on me Can't remember how it feels to breathe free Drowning in a silence you left behind (Chorus) I'm burning — burning in the ashes of you Screaming at a sky that won't break through Every mirror shows a stranger's eyes I'm falling, falling, lost in your goodbyes Tell me how to live when the light died with you (Verse 2) Empty bottles, empty rooms, empty chest Everyone keeps asking if I'm doing my best I lie through my teeth, say I'm fine, I'm okay While the dark keeps eating little pieces away (Pre-Chorus) Walls are closing, closing in on me Can't remember how it feels to breathe free Drowning in a silence you left behind (Chorus) I'm burning — burning in the ashes of you Screaming at a sky that won't break through Every mirror shows a stranger's eyes I'm falling, falling, lost in your goodbyes Tell me how to live when the light died with you (Bridge — slower, stripped down) Maybe grief's just love with nowhere left to go Maybe I'll survive this — I don't know But I'm still standing, standing in the wreck One more breath before I break my neck— (building back up) No — I won't go under, I won't let it win I'll claw my way back out from within (Final Chorus — full intensity) I'm burning — but I won't let it bury me Screaming till this darkness sets me free Every scar's a map of how I've survived I'm rising, rising, from the ashes of that life I'll learn to live again, without you
