Still Here

Lost the house Lost the name Left with dust And the blame Empty hands Empty plate Same old hurt Different weight I walked out With my scars No map home No doors ajar Just the night And my breath Counting wreckage Like prayer by death But I heard you In the dark Same cracked glass Same burned mark If we fall We fall clean Nothing left But what we mean We are the empty We are the flame We lost it all And stayed the same We are the empty We do not break Nothing to burn Nothing to take (We are the empty) (We are the flame) (Still here) Took the hit Kept the grin Came apart From within Broken bills Broken trust Every dream Turned into rust I held rage Like a blade Held my fear Till it frayed Then your voice Cut through smoke Said my name And something woke Not a throne Not a crown Just two hearts On the ground If the world Took our skin We'd still rise From where we've been We are the empty We are the flame We lost it all And stayed the same We are the empty We do not break Nothing to burn Nothing to take (We are the empty) (We are the flame) (Still here) Let the ruin speak Let it say our names Every loss we swallowed Turns into strength No gold left No lie left Just the truth In the wreckage And if they ask What survived Tell them this We stayed alive We are the empty We are the flame We lost it all And stayed the same We are the empty We do not break Nothing to burn Nothing to take We are the empty We stand our ground From the loss We rose up now (We are the empty) (We are the flame) (Still here)
