Yeah…
I gave my life to the fire
Thought it would make me lighter

⸻

[Verse 1 – Sad Rap]
I’ve been bleeding in silence, smiling in public
Fighting my demons like nobody saw it
Said fear’s just a shadow, face it and conquer
But what if the shadow’s the only thing honest?

Twenty years building armor from trauma
Carving my ribs into pieces of promise
They told me pain turns to power with time
But time just made me tired and cautious

I tried to alchemize hurt into gold
Turn every breakdown into a sermon
But some nights the stage feels colder than hell
And the crowd don’t hear what’s burning

Yeah I turned my struggles into strength
But strength don’t mean I don’t shake
When the past still knocks at 3AM
And reminds me of every mistake

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – melodic, emotional]
If the answer’s somewhere I can’t see
Why does the dark feel closer than me?
If letting go didn’t hurt so bad
Would I still be who I am?

⸻

[Chorus – Punk Emo, big guitars]
You’ll never know yourself ‘til you walk alone
With blind faith and broken bones
They say “follow the light in your heart”
But what if the light burned out in the dark?

Will you stay when love self-destructs?
When doubt creeps in and trust corrodes?
It’s give up or give everything
And I don’t know if I’ve got it anymore

⸻

[Verse 2 – Rap, heavier drums]
How much blood does belief really need?
How much pain makes a man complete?
I’ve been choking on dreams I can’t reach
With a smile stitched over defeat

Rebuilt by what broke me — that’s facts
But rebuilding still leaves you cracked
Every scar like a badge on my back
But I’d trade ‘em all just to relax

They see the spine, the fight, the rage
The scream on the edge of the stage
But they don’t see nights on the floor
Begging God just to turn the page

I’m tired of carrying torches alone
Tired of pretending I’m stone
I don’t wanna be fearless anymore
I just wanna feel like I’m home

⸻

[Bridge – Screamed / Punk Breakdown]
Tear me apart — you’ll see what remains
A heart still beating through hurricane pain
Blood in the dirt but I’m still breathing
If this is healing — why am I screaming?

⸻

[Soft Breakdown – emotional switch]
You pulled me out when I couldn’t see
When the dark felt permanent inside of me
Said I don’t have to fight alone
But I’m still scared you’ll leave me

⸻

[Final Chorus – Full Band, Emotional Peak]
You’ll never know yourself ‘til you walk alone
Through dead-end streets and shattered homes
They say don’t be afraid of the dark
But the dark’s where I fell apart

Still I’m here with a heart in pieces
Still I’m here and I still believe it
If you mean it, you make it through
But God, I’m scared I won’t make it too

⸻

[Outro – stripped down, whispered]
From the ashes, I rose again
But ashes still stain your hands
I don’t fear the dark like before…
I just don’t wanna live there anymore
