(Verse 1)
Woke up today, the sun was cold
A story finished, a chapter told
The coffee's bitter, the house is still
A broken record on the window sill
One small decision, a simple line
Erased a future that was mine
They took the colors from the painted sky
Left me with nothing but a silent cry
(Chorus)
And the crossroads stretch out in the gray
Which road to take, which way to stray?
I lost the rhythm, lost the beat
Can't feel the ground beneath my feet
Is this the end, or just a new start?
A broken compass, a shattered heart
I'm at the bottom of the well
A living, breathing, empty shell
(Verse 2)
My favorite sweater, my desk, my chair
Now just a memory in the air
I built a castle, brick by brick
They blew it down with just a click
The dreams I nurtured, the plans I drew
Are scattered ashes in the morning dew
I'm looking back, but there's no going home
Just empty hallways, a silent dome
(Chorus)
And the crossroads stretch out in the gray
Which road to take, which way to stray?
I lost the rhythm, lost the beat
Can't feel the ground beneath my feet
Is this the end, or just a new start?
A broken compass, a shattered heart
I'm at the bottom of the well
A living, breathing, empty shell
(Bridge)
But in the silence, a whisper low
"Get up and get ready, it's time to grow"
A tiny ember, a fighting spark
A single light in the endless dark
Can I still do it? Can I stand tall?
After the wreckage, after the fall?
(Outro)
The music's faded, but the rhythm's in my soul
I'll find a new beat and I'll take control
Maybe the future's not a road, but a fight
And I'll find my way in the fading light
I'll find my way in the fading light
In the fading light...
