Spark

Take the stairwell
You're going to need the time to think
Before you get home tonight and the morning lies
To you like the night before
Are you getting confused with these promises?
Are they your lining, your silver threads?
And will you use them to fix and mend
This graveyard shift, how it all began?

And you'll say now you're going to wait
Set yourself on fire with all your expectations
Start the spark that's in your heart
And pray the smoke will rise out of your lungs
A siren sound that's traveling toward the sun
A final wish, alright
I hope my spark will find you tonight

Dragging dignity
These scrapes on the hardwood floor
Well, don't tell me you're sorry now 'cause the time's run out
And it's clear you've done this before
Are you willing to lose this?
Your consequence is lying through teeth and fists
Your word is useless, the game's been fixed
While you're hoarding cards on the hand I missed

And you'll say, well, now you're going to wait
Set yourself on fire with all your expectations
Start the spark that's in your heart
And pray the smoke will rise out of your lungs
A siren sound that's up against the sun
A final wish, alright
I hope my spark will find you

And if the fire we've built
Won't burn your built up dreams to the ground
Oh, we'll scream our lungs out
Making smoke signs until we get out

And you'll say now you're going to wait
Set yourself on fire with all your expectations
Start the spark that's in your heart
And pray the smoke will rise out of your lungs
A siren sound that's never hurt no one
A final wish, alright
I hope my spark will find you tonight
