Lyrics

[Intro]
Nails leave crescent moons in my quiet hands
I lie awake, listening for a pulse under the metal

[Verse 1]
I've been sparring in a mirror, bleeding air not blood
Raised every name I lost, made them stand guard at my ribs
I forgot how to open, I only knew how to hold

[Build]

[Chorus]
Come back to the living
I'm calling myself out of the war I've been in
Unclench these hands, let a morning in
Come back to the living
Feel cold blood warming, turning red again
Lay down the ghost-blade pressed against my skin
Come back to the living
Come back to the living

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I hired my ghosts as guards; they never let me sleep
Made shelter out of sirens, called the ache my creed
But the steel in my chest is thawing drop by drop

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
Come back to the living
I forgive the fighter who kept my heart from sinking
Open both hands to the heat that's breaking in
Come back to the living
Let every scar be a map that leads me in
I choose a joy that terrifies and heals my skin
Come back to the living
Come back to the living

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I lay down the knife inside my breath
I won't feed the ghosts tonight
If I tremble, let it be from light
Come back to the living

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Both hands open, blood warm and willing
Come back to the living
