Footsteps on a hollow road Dust clings to my heels The wind hums a worn-out song, but I forgot how it feels Lost in the static, just drifting in a dream Then the ground split open, and I fell right through the seam Through the fire, through the fog, something broke inside I saw lightning in my bones, and I could finally cry No map, no plan, just a heartbeat to guide me Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to feel alive Took a bus to nowhere, let the wheels just spin Met a preacher in a pawn shop who swore I’d rise again Said: Son, your shadow’s longer when the Sun sits low And I finally understood what I never dared to know Neon signs, motel lights, blurry faces whisper fate The past is just a record that the needle overplays So I set it on fire, let the embers paint the sky Watched the smoke write new verses, watched the old ones die Through the fire Through the fire, through the fog, something broke inside I saw lightning in my bones, and I could finally cry No map, no plan, just a heartbeat to guide me Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to feel alive Through the fire, through the fog, something broke inside I saw lightning in my bones, and I could finally cry No map, no plan, just a heartbeat to guide me Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to feel alive Now the road sings softer, the dust feels like a friend Ain’t afraid of getting lost if it means I start again Through the fire, through the fog, something broke inside I saw lightning in my bones, and I could finally cry No map, no plan, just a heartbeat to guide me Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to feel alive
