Smoke From the Ruin

Ash falls down like winter in July

Streetlights hum, but they won't look me in the eye

I keep my hands out, nothing left to hide

Walking through the fire just to feel alive

Every crack in the sidewalk knows my name

Every shadow in the alley wants the same

They can't take the truth I've sewn in my skin

I'm still here, and I'm not giving in

We rise like smoke from the ruin

Turn our wounds into something we can use

We're still here, yeah, we're still here

And nothing they do is gonna pull us through the floor

We've been down there before

Boots on the ground in the dead of the night

Heartbeat loud, but it's keeping me right

Light cuts through where the walls gave way

Turning every scar into a doorway

We rise like smoke from the ruin

Turn our wounds into something we can use

We're still here, yeah, we're still here

And nothing they do is gonna pull us through the floor

We've been down there before

Oh-oh-oh, we've been down there before

Oh-oh-oh, but we're not there anymore
