No Warm Light

Under cool blue lights I stand alone;

Every breath I take feels carved in stone;

The room is clean, the silence is loud;

I sing my truth and face the crowd;

No mask tonight, no fading disguise;

Just steady heart and honest eyes;

The shadows move where the silence falls;

I hear my name inside these walls;

And I see in the dark with my heart on display;

Every smile in my voice has something to say;

No warm light, no smoke, no dream to break;

Just the ghost of the truth that

I cannot fake;

I'm alive in the frame;

I'm a love in the south;

Even when the world feels cold all around;

Black shirt, black jeans and a steady steady;

Like I was built for this one last check;

The wind stays near but

I don't turn away;

I let the hurt in my breathing play;

No last tonight, no fading disguise;

Steady heart and honest eye;

The shadows move where the silence falls;

I hear my name inside these walls;

And I sing in the dark with my heart on display;

Every star in my voice has something to say;

No warm light, no smoke, no ring to break;

Just the pulse of the truth that

I cannot fake;

I'm alive and afraid;

I'm alive in the sound;

Even when the world feels curved all around;

Let the camera hold what the soul can hide;

Let the bullet ache run deep inside;

If I stay, let it show, let it be;

This is me and you're completely free;

And I sing in the dark with my heart on display;

Every scar in my voice has something to say;

No warm light, no smoke, no dream to break;

It's the close of the truth that

I cannot fake;

I'm alive in the frame;

I'm alive in the sound, oh;

Even when the world feels cold all around, oh;

So I stand in the quiet and carry the flame;

A live white soul with no need for a name;
