Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Ash on the windowsill Clock hands frozen in the dust All the letters on the floor Spelled a promise turned to rust [Verse 1] Boots by the broken door Laces knotted Never worn Map with a burning edge Every border Every storm You said "Wait for me" Carved your name into the frame I grew older in that doorway You stayed younger in the flame [Chorus] I prayed for the day that never comes Raised my hands to a silent sun Every dawn just cut my lungs Chasing ghosts of what we were I bled for the day that never came Burned our story into my veins Now I stand and scream your name At the day that never comes [Verse 2] War on the radio Names that crumble when they're read Your photograph in armor Creased and folded at the edge Candles on crooked plates Wax like rivers down the wall Every knock upon the wood Every echo felt like fall [Chorus] I prayed for the day that never comes Raised my hands to a silent sun Every dawn just cut my lungs Chasing ghosts of what we were I bled for the day that never came Burned our story into my veins Now I stand and scream your name At the day that never comes [Bridge] [Drums drop to half-time Choirs swell] How long can hope outrun the truth? How long can faith outdrink the proof? I tore the calendar apart But every page still hit my heart If fate is just a loaded gun Then pull it Point it at the sun I won't bow to broken prayer If you're not there If you're not there (hey!) [Chorus] I prayed for the day that never comes Now I curse at a hollow sun Tear the sky with a wounded tongue I am done with what we were I bled for the day that never came Turned that wound into my flame Now I ride and scream your name Past the day that never comes [Outro] One last line on the windowsill Boot prints fading in the dust I walk out of that broken door Leave the promise in the rust
