The heat here makes me want to leave,
Take a shot to ease the burn.
Ash the parchment memories,
20 seconds till I turn.

We've come this far,
Not backing down.
Can't stop it now.
We'll fight ourselves another war.

And I'm not leaving
With out admitting all our sins.
One last thought before I die,
Define our need to fight.

Beyond the curtain masquerade,
There's lead left buried with the names.
If we knew we weren't coming back,
Would all the answers be the same?

We've come this far,
Not backing down.
Can't stop it now.
We'll fight ourselves another war.

And I'm not leaving
With out admitting all our sins.
One last thought before I die,
Define our need to fight.

We've come this far
Not backing down.
Can't stop it now, can't stop it now.
We've come this far,
Not backing down.
We've come this far,
Not backing down.

And I'm not leaving
With out admitting all our sins.
One last thought before I die,
Define our need to fight.

    You would be correct mmusick. If you look at the date, these lyrics were submitted before the album came out last june, so there was no booklet to get the lyrics from. The only way to do it was to listen and try to write them down.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
