Lyrics

[Intro]
Shoes by the door, breath held like a habit
Fear folded in a cedar drawer, passed to me
It ends with me

[Verse 1]
Scars polished like silverware, set at the table
Names cut into birch, weather stealing their vowels
We learned to chew in silence, counting exits
Windows cross-taped, lullabies were sirens
A family tree of tourniquets and warnings
My fists forgot how to open

[Build]

[Chorus]
I loosen the knot in my jaw, drop the blade from my tongue
I won't pass you this hunger, I won't teach you to run
Every war I was handed ends with me
I turn the heirloom over, set it gently to sleep
I keep the life, not the fear; I keep the light, not the heat
Every war I was handed ends with me
Every war I was handed ends with me

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Gravestones with our names, same letters, earlier dates
I wear them under my ribs like coins on a ship
I speak them soft and thank them, then I open the gate
Let the night pass through my body, not out past my lips
I choose to be the last one that has to bleed for this

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
No more white‑knuckle oaths stitched into our sleep
No more maps on the floor, no siren-made hymns
Every war I was handed ends with me
I open both hands, let the old fire dim
Teach my mouth how to laugh, not to grit through its teeth
Every war I was handed ends with me
Every war I was handed ends with me

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I press my ear to the quiet and hear it forgive
I keep the name; I lose the fear
Every war I was handed ends with me

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Let the line rest easy now
Every war I was handed ends with me
