Dreaming boy

(Verse I)

Born in the ashes of my own illusion,

Chasing shadows dressed as light,

A dreamer carved from cracked delusion,

Mistaking wrong for what felt right.

I bled my soul into the silence,

Built a throne on shifting sand,

The mirror cracked from self-reliance,

Now I see what I never planned.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Every scar, every sin,

Was a crown I forged within.

But time — that thief in disguise,

Took my fire, took my sky.

⸻

(Chorus)

Deception, destruction — my kingdom’s demise,

A boy once dreaming, now hollow inside.

Years disappeared in a blink of an eye,

All I am now are fading memories that lie.

⸻

(Verse II)

Echoes whisper, “Was it worth it?”

Every breath, a dying prayer.

Chasing purpose, I deserted

Every heart that ever cared.

The clock laughed — a cruel reminder,

Of the wars I fought in vain,

I sought heaven, found a cipher,

Nothing left but ghost and chain.

⸻

(Breakdown / Bridge)

Bleed the truth through rusted veins,

Tear the mask, embrace the pain!

All I loved decays in dust —

Every dream consumed by lust.

A thousand lives behind my eyes,

But none that I can recognize.

The hourglass bleeds through my hands,

Unforgiving, eternal sands.

⸻

(Final Chorus)

Deception, destruction — my truth denied,

A fallen hero, out of time.

The world kept turning, I stayed blind,

Now I’m just echoes in the tide.

⸻

(Outro)

Time’s cruel mercy, it never waits,

The dreamer sleeps, the dream decays.

All I was fades endlessly,

In the dark — I cease to be.
