Verse 1
There’s a hush beneath the noise tonight
Like the world forgot to breathe
I keep reaching for a spark of light
But it slips away from me
The walls don’t move, but they lean in close
I’m suffocating but I’m still healing
And I’m tracing cracks in the ceiling
Like it might let daylight show
Pre-Chorus
I keep striking at the dark
Waiting for a spark that holds
But more darkness just unfolds
Chorus
I’m lighting matches in the rain
Watching every flicker hesitate
Every small, defiant flame
Barely lives before it breaks
Watching fire turn to smoke
That engulfs and chokes
I can’t help it but I’m
Lighting matches in the rain
Verse 2
There’s a rhythm in the falling drops
Still I stand where the ground feels thin
Like I’m balancing on borrowed time
Listening for something to give in
Then a flicker cuts across the gray
Gone before I can take it in
Still I turn toward where it vanished
Like it moved something deep within
Pre-Chorus
Every spark feels harder to hold
But I’m still striking in the cold
Chorus
I’m lighting matches in the rain
Watching every flicker hesitate
Every small, defiant flame
Barely lives before it breaks
Watching fire turn to smoke
That engulfs and chokes
I can’t help it but I’m
Lighting matches in the rain
