After the flame pt. 1

Verse 1]

Ash settled slow on the windowsill,

the world still hummin’, but I’m standing still.

No war left, no words to defend,

Just quiet light, and a mind to mend.

The heat’s gone, but I still shine,

Soft silver where the edge was fine.

After the flame, I breathe again,

Not broken — just different than I’ve been.

No smoke, no pain, no blame,

Only truth remains… after the flame.

Mirrors show what I couldn’t see,

Strength don’t scream — it moves quietly.

Hands still scarred, but my touch is kind,

Fire taught love what it means to find.

I don’t chase the burn no more,

I found peace in the ember’s core.

No fear, no will to claim,

Just light that knows my name.

After the flame, I breathe again,

Not broken — just wiser where I’ve been.

Glow in my chest, no need to explain,

I am what survived… after the flame.

(beat fades out with soft metallic echo — like the cooling ring of iron)
