Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Coffee’s cold on the counter

Tiny shoes by the door

He’s laughing in the hallway

I’m shaking to the core

Mirror shows me a stranger

Scarred eyes

Hollow grin

I swore I’d break this cycle

But it’s clawing from within

[Chorus]

I’m a fortress made of fractures

Steel that screams and bends

Can I carry all this weight

And never crush him in the end?

If I’m a storm

Then let me shield him

Not the lightning

Not the flames

I’m a father made of failures

Trying to forge a different name (oh)

[Verse 2]

My old man’s voice in the bedroom

Spitting ghosts through the wall

Every promise he shattered

Echoes when my son calls

Hand on the door

I’m trembling

What if I turn out the same?

What if “I’ll be there forever”

Is another broken frame?

[Chorus]

I’m a fortress made of fractures

Steel that screams and bends

Can I carry all this weight

And never crush him in the end?

If I’m a storm

Then let me shield him

Not the lightning

Not the flames

I’m a father made of failures

Trying to forge a different name (yeah)

[Bridge]

I am not your shadow

Old man

I am not your rust and rage

I will stand between the darkness

And the boy who bears my name

Let the nightmare come and find me

Let it tear at skin and bone

I will crawl through every hell

So he never walks alone (never walks alone)

[Chorus]

I’m a fortress made of fractures

But I’m learning how to stand

Every crack is where the fire

Burns a brighter kind of man

If I’m a storm

I’ll be his shelter

Take the thunder

Take the blame

I’m a father made of fire

And I’ll rise every time he says my name

Style

metalmodern heavy metal with downtunedpalm-muted guitars and double-kick drive. verses stay tense and syncopated with chugging riffs under a raw male vocalbass glued to the kick. chorus explodes into widemelodic power chords and shouted gang vocals on the hook. bridge drops to a lowominous drone with tom-heavy buildthen slams back into a finalanthemic chorus.

Prompt

I want a heavy metal song about a father who is fighting with his inner demons and unsure if he’s good enough and if he can be reliable
