[Verse 1]
The air smells like fire
The ground is all ash
I’ve run through the wreckage
I’ve torn through the past
The clocks are all broken
Their hands don’t agree
Time’s playing tricks
But it won’t outplay me

[Chorus]
I’ve got to get back to her
Back to her now
Through the shadows
The screams
I’ll find out how
The world’s falling apart
But I know one thing
I’ll fight the dark
I’ll wear the sting

[Verse 2]
Eyes in the forest
They’re watching me crawl
Whispers like razors
They cut through it all
The road is a ghost
It twists and it bends
But I’ll make it through
I’ll reach the end

[Pre-Chorus]
No monsters
No walls
No tricks of the night
Can keep me away
I’ll win this fight

[Chorus]
I’ve got to get back to her
Back to her now
Through the shadows
The screams
I’ll find out how
The world’s falling apart
But I know one thing
I’ll fight the dark
I’ll wear the sting

[Extended Bridge]
She’s my heartbeat
My compass
My only way home
The only truth left in this world of bone
Tick tock
The clock mocks
It spins and it fades
But I’ll rewrite the ending
I’ll tear down the cage
[(instrumental pause ]
I see her light through the smoke and the rain
Every step closer, I feel her name
The ghosts are screaming — they’re losing their hold
I trade my fear for fire and gold
(drums swell back in)
Let the storm try to drown my flame
I’ll walk through ruin, I’ll call her name
No end of the world can break what we made
Love’s still burning in the mess we made

[Verse 3
The dawn cuts the horizon
Like a blade through stone
I’ve crossed the silence
I’m almost home
The sky starts bleeding
But I don’t care
Her voice breaks through
I know she’s there

[Final Chorus]
I’ve got to get back to her
Back to her now
Through the shadows
The screams
I’ll find out how
The world’s falling apart
But I know one thing
I’ll fight the dark
I’ll wear the sting
[Repeat, layered]
Back to her — I’m almost there
Back to her — through smoke and air
Back to her — I’ll find my way
Back to her — come what may

[Outro ]

The clock stops…

A final inhale…

Then — silence….

[Music Outro]
Back to her — I’m almost there
Back to her — through smoke and air
Back to her — I’ll find my way
Back to her — come what may
