[Verse 1]

You came in like a siren with the lights burned out

Head high, eyes blank, never looking down

Everybody said, "That one fears nothing"

Like you were born with fire in your lungs somehow

But I saw the truth in the way you moved

No prayer, no pulse, nothing left to prove

You did not walk through the crowd like a savior

You just walked through because it never mattered who

[Pre-Chorus]

And they lean in when you do not speak

They call it strength when you do not feel

They want the spark, they want the sickness

They do not know how sharp you reel

[Chorus]

Your courage is infectious

Spreading like a flame

They follow you like moths into it

Calling out your name

At first it looks like freedom

At second glance, a grave

You do not even see them falling

You just keep making waves

Your courage is infectious

But it is not what they think

You are not brave, you are just empty

And they are drowning while you do not sink

[Verse 2]

You move along, do what you want, when you want

Like the world is only there to split apart

Every shoulder just another door to hit through

Every warning just a whisper in the dark

And they trail behind like shadows in a fever

Trying on your damage like a crown

But you keep on like a silent goliath

Too big to bleed, too numb to hear a sound

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You never asked for company

You never cared who came

But there is a line of broken people

Trying to live inside your flame

[Chorus]

Your courage is infectious

Spreading like a flame

They follow you like moths into it

Calling out your name

At first it looks like power

At second glance, decay

You do not even turn to watch them

You just keep on your way

Your courage is infectious

But it is not what they think

You are not brave, you are just hollow

And they are drowning while you do not sink

[Bridge]

Unstoppable force, stoppable lives

You hit like thunder, they pay the price

One by one, they go underfoot

Trying to stand where you once stood

Bodies laid down into a road

You cross them over, never slow

Another place, another crowd

Another fever growing loud

[Breakdown]

Looks like courage

Feels like ruin

Looks like freedom

Leaves them ruined

Looks like fire

Spreads like disease

They want to be you

They drop to their knees

[Final Chorus]

Your courage is infectious

That is how the story spreads

They drink you like a medicine

Then wake among the dead

At first it feels electric

Like nothing can go wrong

But you were only ever running

With nothing left to want

Your courage is infectious

You tear through every scene

And all the ones who move beside you

Become the wreckage in between

[Outro]

Always another place

Always another crowd

Always another set of hands

Reaching up through smoke and sound

And you keep moving, never noticing

What your shadow leaves undone

A silent giant through the bodies

Marching toward the next one
