Full Lyrics

[Verse]
I've been carrying a heavy box of shadows
Tucking every failure in the seams
Walked a mile for every bridge I've burned down
Losing sleep to chase some hollow dreams
The dust is thick on every old ambition
The air was thin inside my empty chest
But the morning light is shifting through the timber
And it's time to lay the weary ghosts to rest

[Chorus]
So hello death, to the way I used to be
Goodbye to the cage that kept a hold on me
I'm burying the cold and the bitter years
The lonely nights and the salt of all those tears
Now there's a porch light swinging in the dark
And a brand new flame from a long-forgotten spark
Hello death, you're the sweetest kind of grace
I'm finally looking at a lover's face

[Verse]
The silence used to feel just like a burden
A hollow space where nothing ever grew
But since you found me standing in the clearing
The quiet feels like something bright and new
I'm shedding every layer of the struggle
The armor that I wore to hide the scars
I'm letting go of everything that broke me
Underneath a blanket made of stars

[Chorus]
So hello death, to the way I used to be
Goodbye to the cage that kept a hold on me
I'm burying the cold and the bitter years
The lonely nights and the salt of all those tears
Now there's a porch light swinging in the dark
And a brand new flame from a long-forgotten spark
Hello death, you're the sweetest kind of grace
I'm finally looking at a lover's face

[Bridge]
It's not an ending, it's a doorway
It's not a loss, it's just a change
The man I was is drifting down the river
While the man I am is finding home again

[Chorus]
So hello death, to the way I used to be
Goodbye to the cage that kept a hold on me
I'm burying the cold and the bitter years
The lonely nights and the salt of all those tears
Now there's a porch light swinging in the dark
And a brand new flame from a long-forgotten spark
Hello death, you're the sweetest kind of grace
I'm finally looking at a lover's face
I'm looking at your face
Yeah, it's a brand new life
Hello death
I'm home tonight
