[Verse 1]
We was tighter than a noose on a sailor’s mast,
Now you ghost, like a shadow that the sun outcast.
Traded roots for the wind, now you driftin’ fast,
Chasin' cheap highs, runnin’ low on class.
Remember late nights, schemin’ dreams so colossal?
Now you writin' checks with your veins, red apostle.
Fell off the track like a train with no throttle,
I stayed solid, you sipped from the wrong bottle.
[Chorus]
Burnt bridges, smoke still lingers,
Ashes fall through trembling fingers.
You chose the dark, I stayed the spark,
Now you’re lost, I’m steady, sharp.
[Verse 2]
You traded gold for glitter, fool's parade,
Built a house of cards where your morals decayed.
What happened to the plans, the heights we’d raid?
Now I’m building my empire, your debts unpaid.
I ain’t no saint, but I kept my course,
You let your demons ride, no remorse.
Now your past is a ghost that you can’t divorce,
I’m the echo of the truth, your uncut source.
[Bridge]
Could’ve been legends, now you’re a caution,
Lost in the haze, a self-made exhaustion.
I tried to pull you, but you chose the pit,
Now the story’s written, no edit, no split.
