Lyrics

[Intro]
I used to sleep in black, just in case
Counting empty chairs before a name had a face

[Verse 1]
Kept my shoulders braced like winter in my bones
Rehearsed every funeral, whispered eulogies alone
Kissed the door for the leaving I was sure would come
Lived a hundred deaths that never came, numb

[Build]

[Chorus]
Call off the sirens rattling my blood
Lay down the armor welded to my lungs
I won't die twice for a war that never comes
I won't die twice for a war that never comes
Feel this beating now, bright and burning from my tongue
I won't die twice for a war that never comes

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Phantom blows kept landing in the dark
Flinched at every kindness like a spark
Waited by a future that never came knocking once
Carried keys for locks that never locked

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
Turn off the forecasts carving me to crumbs
Open up my chest and let the thunder run
I won't die twice for a war that never comes
I won't die twice for a war that never comes
Hold me in the only now there ever was
I won't die twice for a war that never comes

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I fold the practiced obituaries small
Paper boats on a breath, I let them fall
Set down my shoulders, teach my hands the sun
I choose the one life warm enough to hum

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I breathe the room I’m in; the running future’s done
I won't die twice for a war that never comes
