[Intro]
Latin lips on a wired-up stage
Velvet dress
Little tear in the lace
Spotlight burns like a judging eye
I breathe in the crowd
Try not to cry
[Verse 1]
Paper wristband
Ink on my palm
Setlist shaking
Praying for calm
Camera flashes
Names in my head
Every rumor
Everything they said
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear my heartbeat counting down
Like someone else is wearing my crown
Is this my miracle or curse?
If I start singing
Will it get worse?
[Chorus]
Watch me sing before I break
This is all that I can take
If I turn to fire
If my veins ignite
Will you still love Melissa in the dying light?
Hold my name inside your hands
When I’m slipping through the sand
If I change forever in this final scream
Remember me
Not the demon I’ll be
[Verse 2]
Soft hymn hiding
Under the noise
Ancient echoes
Inside my voice
Every note is
Pulling a thread
Something holy
Hungry in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
Halo or horns
I feel them grow
Under my skin
A secret glow
If I keep singing
Will it show?
Would you stay close
Or let me go?
[Chorus]
Watch me sing before I break
This is all that I can take
If I turn to fire
If my veins ignite
Will you still love Melissa in the dying light?
Hold my name inside your hands
When I’m slipping through the sand
If I change forever in this final scream
Remember me
Not the demon I’ll be
[Bridge]
(ahh) Say my name
Like a prayer
Like a spell again
(ahh) I’m not tame
I’m the storm in the violin
(oh) If I fall
When the truth crawls out of me
Promise you will call
The girl I was
Not what you see
[Chorus]
Watch me sing before I break
This is all that I can take
If I turn to fire
If my veins ignite
Will you still love Melissa in the dying light?
Hold my name inside your hands
When I’m slipping through the sand
If I change forever in this final scream
Remember me
Not the demon I’ll be
