Mm
Night fell
I stayed

Streetlamp blue on the side of the warehouse
Rain on the rail and a chill in the floorboards
Old sins, cold wind, ash in the doorway
I learned real quick what the dark tries to talk for

Thin smoke, dim glow, glass in the gutter
Loose chain, freight train, heart start stutter
No hymn, no hand, no light coming my way
I got what was left when the saints didn’t stay

No white wings
No rescue line
Just a pulse
Still beating mine

Saints don’t stay
Saints don’t stay
When the room goes black, they fade away
Saints don’t stay

So I learned how to stand where the shadows lay
Hold my name through the ruin and the rot and gray
If the sky shuts down, I don’t kneel, I wait
Saints don’t stay

Pipe drip, lip split, frost on the knuckles
Back hall, cracked wall, pain in the shuffle
Low breath, slow step, eyes on the warning
I don’t chase dawn — I make it through morning

Bent frame, burnt faith, dust in the rafters
Hard truth, dead proof, ghosts in the plaster
No choir, no cure, no clean escape
I built my will out of what didn’t break

No white wings
No rescue line
Just a pulse
Still beating mine

Saints don’t stay
Saints don’t stay
When the room goes black, they fade away
Saints don’t stay

So I learned how to stand where the shadows lay
Hold my name through the ruin and the rot and gray
If the sky shuts down, I don’t kneel, I wait
Saints don’t stay

I quit asking heaven
To finish what it starts
Now I carry that silence
Like a blade across my heart

Let it ring
Let it ache
Let the walls tell the truth
No halo
No hand
Just the fire I grew into

Saints don’t stay
Saints don’t stay
When the room goes black, they fade away
Saints don’t stay

So I learned how to stand where the shadows lay
Hold my name through the ruin and the rot and gray
If the sky shuts down, I don’t kneel, I wait
Saints don’t stay

Don’t stay
Don’t stay
Saints
