The Fire Never Asked Me Why
TitanChord
They lit me up and watched me burn,
Said I’d earned the smoke, not the return
But I just laughed and let it rise,
The fire never asked me why
Whiskey still warms the bones,
Even if the soul’s long gone
Ain’t no grave to call my own —
Just heat in the dark where I went wrong
I drank to forget, but remembered more,
Every name etched in that old saloon floor
The sheriff died with my name in his mouth,
But ghosts don’t run, they just ride south
Whiskey still warms the bones,
Even if the heart’s gone dry
No prayers, no bells, no stones —
Just a wind that don’t reply
You ever talk to the stars out loud?
They don’t judge, just listen proud
If I could ride all this regret back home,
Would I be man or just more chrome?
Whiskey still warms the bones,
Fire flickers under skin
I’m the lesson in your lone
And the burn that won’t give in
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
They lit me up and watched me burn, Said I’d earned the smoke, not the return But I just laughed and let it rise, The fire never asked me why
Whiskey still warms the bones, Even if the soul’s long gone Ain’t no grave to call my own — Just heat in the dark where I went wrong
I drank to forget, but remembered more, Every name etched in that old saloon floor The sheriff died with my name in his mouth, But ghosts don’t run, they just ride south
Whiskey still warms the bones, Even if the heart’s gone dry No prayers, no bells, no stones — Just a wind that don’t reply
You ever talk to the stars out loud? They don’t judge, just listen proud If I could ride all this regret back home, Would I be man or just more chrome?
Whiskey still warms the bones, Fire flickers under skin I’m the lesson in your lone And the burn that won’t give in
