[Musical Intro]
[Verse 1]
There’s a lighter in my pocket, a fool’s glow,*
*Wrapped in grief, a friend I barely know,*
*It dances briefly, a funeral pyre,*
*For whispers lost, for dreams that tire.*
*Society laughs, but laughs go cold,*
*Frozen clocks in rooms, tales untold.*
[Pre-Chorus]
In the shadows, where silence grieves,*
*I search for meaning, but I find no leaves,*
*The world's an echo, indifferent and stark,*
*With a cigarette’s ember and an unseen mark.*
[Chorus]
*So I strike a light, against eternity’s claim,*
*A flicker of hope, a whisper, a name,*
*This liar’s covenant with the dark,*
*My armor of flame in a world so stark.*
*Yet the fire fades, and I’m left to mourn,*
*The ashes of comfort, the weight of the scorn.*
[Musical drum&instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The warmth, it bursts, much like the dawn,*
*Illusions dance, then they’re gone,*
*Fever-dreams rising from the ground,*
*Illusions melting, the truth unbound.*
*In laughter that cuts like broken glass,*
*I sit in corners where shadows pass.*
[Pre-Chorus]
Every flicker mocks, a creeping dread,*
*I seek the meaning, but I find instead,*
*A ghost of comfort, a fleeting trace,*
*An ember of warmth in a hollowed place.*
[Chorus]
*So I strike a light, against eternity’s claim,*
*A flicker of hope, a whisper, a name,*
*This liar’s covenant with the dark,*
*My armor of flame in a world so stark.*
*Yet the fire fades, and I’m left to mourn,*
*The ashes of comfort, the weight of the scorn.*
[dance drum& instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
With every spark, I confront the void,*
*The buzzing silence, the joy destroyed,*
*Each flicker questions what it means to be,*
*A voice in the chaos, longing to be free.*
[Chorus]
*So I strike a light, against eternity’s claim,*
*A flicker of hope, a whisper, a name,*
*This liar’s covenant with the dark,*
*My armor of flame in a world so stark.*
*Yet the fire fades, and I’m left to mourn,*
*The ashes of comfort, the weight of the scorn.*
[Fade out]
