I’ve been runnin’ on empty nights,
Talkin’ to ghosts under dashboard lights.
Every dream’s got teeth, they bite,
But I keep drivin’ through the fight.

Smoke in my lungs, weight on my chest,
Tryin’ to sleep but the world won’t rest.
I ain’t holy, but I still pray,
To make it through another day.

Maybe faith ain’t gold or flame,
Maybe it’s the spark that just remains.

Flicker faith, small but real,
Just enough to help me heal.
Burnin’ low but stayin’ true,
Every glow still bleeds me through.
Flicker faith, trembling light,
You’re the reason I survive the night.

I’ve been cracked, but I still shine,
Scars just spell out what’s mine.
Every loss, a quiet teacher,
Every wound, a small believer.

The light don’t owe me anything,
Still, I chase what the shadows bring.
There’s beauty hidin’ in the ache —
A soft forgiveness I can’t fake.

Maybe faith don’t shout my name,
Maybe it just whispers, stay.

Flicker faith, small but real,
Just enough to help me heal.
Burnin’ low but stayin’ true,
Every glow still bleeds me through.
Flicker faith, trembling light,
You’re the reason I survive the night.

Let it stutter, let it fade,
Still, it burns beneath the shade.
It don’t roar — it hums instead,
In the places I once bled.

Flicker faith, don’t go dark,
Even embers make a spark.
I don’t need forever’s flame,
Just a glow that knows my name.
Flicker faith, stay awhile,
Soft and stubborn, small and wild.

Yeah…
Been down bad, still made it home,
Faith don’t shout, it hums in the phone.
Left a message for the man I was,
He said, “Don’t quit — that’s what it does.”

Light’s low, but the heart still lit,
Can’t kill a flame that don’t forget.
Ain’t lookin’ for wings or crowns,
Just tryin’ to rise when I hit the ground.

Sometimes all you get’s a spark,
Blink too long, you’ll miss the mark.
But I’ll take that flicker every time —
That’s the line between death and shine.

Keep the flame small… it lasts longer that way.
