Lyrics

[Intro]
Morning finds me staring at the glass, slow
Pale lines surface where the cover used to go
I mouth the ending only I would know
Every scar a map that brought me home

[Verse 1]
I used to paint over the highways on my skin
Long sleeves in summer, always tugging at the hem
Navigation hidden under porcelain
Kept the borders blurred so I could look like them
But the dark kept spelling out where I had been

[Build]

[Chorus]
No more turning down the lights on what I’ve known
I let the roads I walked light up my bones
Count the exits, all the miles I made alone
Every scar a map that brought me home
Every scar a map that brought me home

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
There are coordinates in every silver seam
Latitude of losses, longitude of sleep
Detours where I learned to breathe between
Tollbooths paid in quiet that I keep
A red-stitch border where I crossed the line

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I won’t cover this, I won’t dim this glow
Let the atlas of my body be the proof I own
Read the rivers where the thunder carved its roads
Every scar a map that brought me home
Every scar a map that brought me home

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Two fingers on the glass, I trace the route
Whisper names of nights that almost shut me out
I breathe, and in the silence let it show
Every scar a map that brought me home

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I walk into daylight, nothing left to fold
Skin like a story, open, bold
Every scar a map that brought me home
