Flicker in the Dark

ليل on the ceiling,

cracked into stars

My chest keeps time with a house of scars

I drag my name through the smoke in my room Cold blue

hour hanging over me too soon Broken glass glittering under my feet

Every thought cuts deeper with a sweet defeat I count the storms

in the space between breaths Wear my doubt like a chain on

my neck Fading signs on the walls lose their frame But the

dark says my secrets better than my name If I fall,

let me fall through the fire

If I break, let the sparks climb higher

There is a beat in the blur,

in the ache

Something alive that the night couldn't take I'm rising from the glass,

from the glass tonight From the storm in my blood to a

blade of light When the dark pulls hard and my lungs run

thin I find fire,

I find fire under my skin I'm rising from the glass,

from the glass tonight With a sky full of wounds and my

eyes set bright Hear my heartbeat kick like a war drum in

the wind I find fire,

I find fire, and I breathe again Streetlamp halos melt into the

rain below I see my fear in every window glow Hands full

of ash from the dreams I held Pieces of me like a

city that fell But a small gold spark keeps waking my veins

Tiny and stubborn inside all this pain I hear it call through

the noise in my head A match in the dark where I

thought hope was dead If I fall,

let me fall through the fire

If I break, let the sparks climb higher

There is a beat in the blur,

in the ache Something alive that the night couldn't take I'm rising

from the glass, from the glass tonight From the storm in my

blood to a blade of light When the dark pulls hard and

my lungs run thin I find fire,

I find fire under my skin I'm rising from the glass,

from the glass tonight With a sky full of wounds and my

eyes set bright Hear my heartbeat kick like a war drum in

the wind I find fire,

I find fire, and I breathe again

I was a room with the windows blown wide I was the

tremble I tried to hide

Now every shard throws a piece of dawn I bend,

I don't disappear, I go on

I'm rising from the glass,

from the glass tonight

From the storm in my blood to a blade of light

When the dark pulls hard and my lungs run thin

I find fire, I find fire under my skin

I'm rising from the glass,

from the glass tonight With a sky full of wounds and my

eyes set bright Hear my heartbeat kick like a war drum in

the wind I find fire,

I find fire, and I breathe again

I rise, I rise,

I rise again

I rise, I rise,

I breathe again

ليل turns silver at the edge of dawn

The night didn't keep me,

I'm still going on
