Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] The walls breathe with me, slow… tired… cracking. Unpaid bills curl like dead leaves on the table. My kids’ voices fade like they were never mine — memories dissolving in the sink with the dishes. My wife moves through the house like a ghost I can’t touch, two shadows sharing air but never a heartbeat. Every room echoes with the man I used to be. Now I’m just the outline of a life collapsing. [Chorus] Tell me— do I burn out in a blaze, let the sky swallow the noise, let the world feel my exit like thunder ripping the night? Or do I drift away silent, like rain sliding off windows, disappearing so smoothly they don’t notice I’m gone? Which ending fits a man already half-vanished? [Verse 2] Paychecks bleed thin, and I bleed with them. Hope rattles loose like a bolt in the frame. Cold meals sit untouched, and so do I — a stranger haunting his own kitchen. Sleep won’t come. It circles above me like a vulture waiting to pick clean the last of me. Even God looks away when I talk to the ceiling. Maybe I’m speaking the language of the forgotten. [Bridge] But in the ruins, some spark twitches — a stubborn ember refusing extinction. Whispers rise from the dust: “Not yet. Not like this.” Maybe the darkness ain’t an ending — maybe it’s a womb, a place to rebuild broken men from shadow. [Final Chorus] I won’t combust for spectacle, won’t vanish for convenience. I’ll breathe in this night, let it carve its lessons deep. If I’m meant to go, it won’t be as ruin — but as something that learned to crawl out of its own grave.
