Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sirens in the sky again

Blue and red across my skin

Neighbors boarding up their doors

Counting cans like counting sins

I still leave my window wide

Hot tea for the kids outside

Writing names in candlewax

So somebody knows they tried

[Pre-Chorus]

They tear the world in halves

Call the breaking “order”

But your hands are shaking like mine

[Chorus]

When the world starts burning down

Hold out your heart, don’t lay it on the ground

Let them scream, let them swing their crowns

We are the shelter in a shattered town

If the flood comes, if we all fall apart

I won’t let go of my

Compassion in the dark

[Verse 2]

Posters peeling off the walls

New decrees in bathroom stalls

Whispers blooming underground

Passing hope like smuggled salt

I still say your real name

When they tell me “all the same”

Hide a bandage in my sleeve

For the ones they call “to blame”

[Pre-Chorus]

They turn away their eyes

Swear that cruelty keeps them safe

But your pulse is pounding like mine

[Chorus]

When the world starts burning down

Hold out your heart, don’t lay it on the ground

Let them scream, let them swing their crowns

We are the shelter in a shattered town

If the flood comes, if we all fall apart

I won’t let go of my

Compassion in the dark

[Bridge]

Let them build their thrones of rust (oh)

Let them drink their fear and dust

I choose every fragile trust

Every trembling hand I touch

If mercy makes me weak

Then I’ll be weaker every week

I won’t bend my spine to hate

I was made to liberate

[Chorus]

When the world starts burning down

Hold out your heart, don’t lay it on the ground (hold it high)

Let them scream, let them swing their crowns

We are the shelter in a shattered town

If the flood comes, if we all fall apart

I won’t let go of my

Compassion in the dark

[Outro]

Sirens fade to distant rain

Ash is falling, hearts remain

Take my hand, we’ll face the spark

Compassion in the dark
