Softened Edges

[Intro]
[Verse]
The yellow glow is still the same
I used to scream into the rain
I thought the world deserved my blame
Now I don't even know its name
Just a ghost inside the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
But the air feels different tonight
I am stepping out of the fight
The static in my head is gone
I am finally moving on
[Chorus]
I’m letting go of the heavy weight
Of all that self-important hate
The scars are staying where they are
Like light from a dying star
But the edges don’t cut me deep
I’ve got no more secrets to keep
[Post-Chorus]
Softened edges in the dark
I’m leaving behind the spark
The road is open and it’s wide
With nothing left for me to hide
[Verse]
I thought the fire made me strong
But I was burning for too long
That teenage rage was just a shield
A lonely crop in a hollow field
I finally know where I belong
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah the air feels different tonight
I am stepping out of the fight
The static in my head is gone
I am finally moving on
[Chorus]
I’m letting go of the heavy weight
Of all that self-important hate
The scars are staying where they are
Like light from a dying star
But the edges don’t cut me deep
I’ve got no more secrets to keep
[Bridge]
Forgiveness isn't a clean slate
It’s just a shift in the freight
It doesn't wash away the dirt
It just stops the constant hurt
The engine’s turning over now
I’m breaking through the heavy cloud
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I’m letting go of the heavy weight
Of all that self-important hate
The scars are staying where they are
Like light from a dying star
But the edges don’t cut me deep
I’ve got no more secrets to keep
[Post-Chorus]
Softened edges in the dark
I’m leaving behind the spark
The road is open and it’s wide
With nothing left for me to hide
[Outro]
