You Made The Wound

Lyrics

Verse 1
I kept your name
In the back of my mouth
Like a shard of glass
I could not spit out

Your boots by the door
Your coat on the chair
Now the whole room leans
Like you were still there

Pre-Chorus
And I, I hear the crack
In the quiet, in my chest
If this pain wants my crown
Then it better come correct

Chorus
I break, I break
Then I rise again
You made the wound
I made the wind
I break, I break
Till the sky backs down
Your ghost had me
Now I own this sound

Verse 2
Your shadow missed me
By a breath or two
But I saw your lie
In the edge of the moon

I wore the ache
Like a blade in my throat
Now it turns to fire
When I touch the smoke

Pre-Chorus
And I, I feel the charge
In the ash, in the rain
If you wanted my ruin
You should know my name

Chorus
I break, I break
Then I rise again
You made the wound
I made the wind
I break, I break
Till the sky backs down
Your ghost had me
Now I own this sound

Bridge
Tell me who I was
When I begged you to stay
I was half a house
In a hurricane

Now I spit out gold
From the hurt you gave
And I walk like thunder
Through the afterglow

Chorus
I break, I break
Then I rise again
You made the wound
I made the wind
I break, I break
Till the sky backs down
Your ghost had me
Now I own this sound

Outro
I break, I break
Then I rise again
I break, I break
And I don't fold in
