Intro – fading piano, distant crackling fire]
The night swallows the last of me…
Whispers drift through the smoke,
Carrying pieces I can’t hold.
I am fire… I am ash…
And I am alone.
[Verse 1 – soft, haunting vocals]
Every step I took led to this…
Every choice, every sin,
Every shadow that lingered
Has built a cage I cannot escape.
The walls burn quietly,
The ceiling bends over my head,
And all I hear are echoes of my own voice
Calling me into the void.
[Pre-Chorus – tension building]
I wanted salvation,
I wanted peace…
But the night laughs at me.
Every heartbeat is a drum of ruin,
Every breath tastes of smoke,
And every flicker of hope dies before it can glow.
[Chorus – layered, raw, ambient tension]
I was born to burn alone,
To carry the fire that no one can touch.
The world is cold, the shadows heavy,
And I am nothing but ash in the wind.
I scream into the dark…
But the dark does not answer.
I am born to burn alone…
Forever.
[Verse 2 – darker, introspective]
The flames lick at my skin,
Not to destroy, but to remind.
Every scar, every wound, every secret I’ve kept
Shines like embers in the night.
I have loved, I have lost,
I have fought, I have failed,
And all that remains is the fire…
And me.
[Bridge – whispered, distant, poetic]
The shadows bend around me,
Dancing to a song I cannot hear.
I reach, I fall, I grasp nothing but smoke…
And the fire answers me in silence.
I am hollow, I am burning, I am alone.
[Chorus 2 – climactic, layered whispers and fading piano]
I was born to burn alone,
To carry the fire that no one can touch.
The world is cold, the shadows heavy,
And I am nothing but ash in the wind.
I scream into the dark…
But the dark does not answer.
I am born to burn alone…
Forever.
[Outro – whispers, fading heartbeat, crackling fire]
The fire dies slowly…
But I remain.
Alone, unbroken, unseen…
And still burning.
