No sirens now, no glass, no roar,
Just a little red breathing through the floor.

Moon over the wreckage, boots in the soot,
Whole night behind me like a book half-shut.
I got smoke in the denim, ache in the hands,
And the kind of silence only survivors understand.
Road went black, but it didn’t win,
It just taught my shadow how to wear my skin.
I ain’t clean from the fire, ain’t light from the flame,
But I know what stayed when the dark took aim.

So let the wind move slow through what’s left.
Let the dust settle where it can.
I’m not looking for a crown tonight —
Just enough truth to stand.

The ashes still warm where I laid that old life down,
Still a little glow in the ruin of this town.
I can feel what survived in the ribs and the scars,
In the hush after the thunder, in the coal under the dark.
I don’t need the whole sky — just a reason to keep going,
And the ashes still warm tell me everything worth knowing.

I’ve seen hard grace come dressed like loss,
Seen peace show up with a brutal cost.
Seen love stay late when the lights went thin,
Seen faith hold shape when the walls caved in.
Now the rearview’s quiet, and the engine’s low,
Like the night finally knows there’s nowhere else to go.
I got less to prove and more to protect,
A steadier pulse and a straighter neck.

Let the first light touch what it wants.
Let it find every mark I earned.
Some men come back looking spotless —
I came back with the fire still burned.

Oh — if it hurts, let it hurt honest.
Oh — if it heals, let it heal slow.
I was never made for a soft redemption,
I was made to carry the ember home.

The ashes still warm where I laid that old life down,
Still a little gold in the bones of this town.
I can feel what survived in the ribs and the scars,
In the hush after the thunder, in the coal under the dark.
I don’t need the whole sky — just a road and a little glowing,
And the ashes still warm tell me I’m not done going.
No, I’m not done going.

No sirens now, no glass, no roar...
Just a little red breathing through the floor.
And the ashes still warm.
