Pictures That Burn Lyrics

There's ash in my pocket from bridges I've burned

Old polaroids that don't fade, just hurt

A face in the smoke, a voice in the static

Every frame's a punch, some soft, some drastic

I've got a wall full of shadows, a map made of scars

A lifetime of broken and beautiful stars

Pictures that burn, etched in my skin

Every scratch a story of where I've been

Sharp as a blade, loud as the sky

They don't fade, they don't lie

The streets don't forget, they echo my name

Through neon reflections and midnight rain

I still taste the dust, I still feel the cut

But every misstep built me up

I wear these moments like a jacket of flame

Every edge a reminder I'm not the same

Pictures that burn, etched in my skin

Every scratch a story of where I've been

Sharp as a blade, loud as the sky

They don't fade, they don't lie

I don't chase ghosts, they chase me first

They show me the beauty wrapped in the worst

I stumble, I fall, I rise again

Every frame a loss, every frame a win

Pictures that burn, etched in my skin

Every scratch a story of where I've been

Sharp as a blade, loud as the sky

They don't fade, they don't lie

I'll keep them burning, they keep me wild

A rebel, a lover, a scarred-hearted child

Pictures that burn, they're all that I know

They built me fast, they built me slow
