Lyrics
Some names fade. Hers detonates.
I didn’t carve her name in stone, Didn’t write it where it’s shown. I etched it where the fire sleeps, Where a man keeps what he keeps.
Every round I ever loaded, Every line I ever crossed, I felt her breath in the silence Right before the cost.
You don’t love a woman like that And come back unchanged
Her name in gunpowder, Burned into my hands. One spark away from heaven, One breath from damned. I don’t wear it like a badge, I wear it like a scar. Her name in gunpowder — That’s who you are.
She didn’t ask me to behave, Didn’t beg me to be saved. She said, “If you pull the trigger, Know exactly what you take.”
They warned me love don’t mix with fire, That it always leaves a mark. I said, “That’s the point — You don’t see flames in the dark.”
You don’t stay when it gets this real Unless you want the truth to hurt
Her name in gunpowder, Written in recoil. Every time I try to outrun it, It stains the soil. I don’t pray it washes clean, I don’t ask it to fade. Her name in gunpowder — And I chose to stay.
If they ever find me quiet, If the smoke finally clears, Tell them love didn’t kill me — It made me dangerous here.
Her name in gunpowder, Echoed when I stand. Every shot I never took, Every one I planned. If this is how I’m remembered, If this is how I fall — Her name in gunpowder Was worth it all.
Still loaded. Still marked.
