Title: “Between The Fire & The Fade”
[Intro — distant radio/static]
Born in a hospital room under fluorescent skies
Same ending waiting for us all
Tick… tick… tick…
[Verse 1]
I came out screaming with blood in my lungs
Hands to the sky but I still felt numb
Learned real fast this world don’t wait
Smile for the picture then hand you fate
Some chase money, some chase God
Some walk barefoot through broken odds
Some build kingdoms made of dust
Some lose everything trying to trust
I watched heroes fall and demons rise
Truth get buried beneath pretty lies
Life’s got teeth and it loves to bite
Leaves scars you carry into the night
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re all just sparks in a hurricane
Holding on while we drown in rain
[Chorus]
Life and death and everything between
Broken halos and shattered dreams
We’re all one heartbeat from the edge tonight
One breath away from losing the fight
Scream if you’re living!
Scream if you’re dead!
Scream for the voices trapped inside your head!
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen fathers disappear like smoke
Watched strong men bend and finally broke
I’ve seen angels wearing dirty clothes
And devils smiling where the flowers grow
Every goodbye leaves blood on the floor
Every closed door becomes one more war
Every memory burns like a disease
Still we get back up on bleeding knees
[Breakdown]
WE LIVE!
WE DIE!
WE ASK OURSELVES THE REASONS WHY!
NO FEAR!
NO MASK!
THE CLOCK DON’T CARE HOW LONG YOU LAST!
ASH TO ASH!
BONE TO DUST!
IN THE END WHAT MATTERS IS WHO WE TRUST!
[Final Chorus]
Life and death and everything between
All the things we were and things unseen
When the darkness finally calls my name
I’ll go down screaming through the flames
Because I was here…
I WAS HERE!
And I refuse to disappear!
