[Intro – dark synth, deep bass, distant sirens]
Yeah…
I spent too many nights
Talking to the ceiling
Trying to find a reason
Why my heart stopped feeling
Cold air through the window
City shining black and gold
Everybody wants forever
But nobody grows old
⸻
[Verse 1 – steady beat, low electric guitar riff]
I was sixteen with a broken dream
Running wild through empty streets
Everybody said I’d lose myself
Chasing ghosts I could never keep
Had my fists full of anger
And my lungs full of smoke
Trying to laugh with my friends
While my world went up in flames
Every scar turned to armor
Every loss became a chain
But I kept moving through the chaos
Like I had nothing left to break
I learned more from the hard nights
Than I ever learned from love
Cause nobody really saves you
When life gets rough enough
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension, layered vocals]
And I swear
I could hear my heartbeat shaking
Like thunder underneath my skin
And I knew if I stopped now
I’d never rise again
Every failure built the fire
Every wound became my strength
Now the pressure doesn’t scare me
Cause I survived the pain
⸻
[Chorus – explosive drums, cinematic production]
So I run through the fire
Even when the flames get higher
Even when the whole world says
I’m too far gone to save
I still carry the pressure
Like diamonds in my veins
And I’d rather burn forever
Than fade away
Oh—
Every time the darkness calls me
I can hear my spirit say
Legends aren’t born in comfort
They are forged inside the flames
⸻
[Verse 2 – atmospheric guitar, stronger drums]
Now the city feels colder
And the nights don’t feel the same
Everybody’s chasing shadows
Trying to numb the pain
I saw friends turn to strangers
Love turn into war
And every time I hit the bottom
I came back wanting more
Cause pain made me fearless
And fear made me strong
Now every wound reminds me
That I survived this long
I’ve been drowning in silence
With a war inside my head
But the strongest hearts keep beating
Even when they’re almost dead
⸻
[Bridge – stripped piano, emotional vocals]
Maybe I was born for the hard nights
Maybe I was made for the storm
Cause every time life tried to break me
I became something more
And if nobody remembers
All the battles that I faced
At least I know I never ran
When the fear looked in my face
So if the sky falls down around me
If the darkness takes my name
At least they’ll know I fought until
My last breath faded away
⸻
[Final Chorus – huge cinematic drums, soaring guitar]
So I run through the fire
Even when the flames get higher
Even when the whole world says
I’m too far gone to save
I still carry the pressure
Like diamonds in my veins
And I’d rather burn forever
Than fade away
Oh—
Even if my soul gets shattered
Even if my heart still breaks
I will stand inside the ashes
I will never be afraid
Yeah I’d rather burn forever
Than fade away
⸻
[Outro – fading guitar, heartbeat effect, distant choir]
(Softly)
Through the fire…
Through the pain…
I became the flame…
(Heartbeat fades)
