[Verse 1]
I sold my name for a neon crown
Chased every spark till it burned me down
The city’s veins hum with greed and fire
I fed the beast and called it desire
The lights are gold, but they don’t forgive
They take your sleep, then charge you to live
[Pre-Chorus]
I was seventeen, with a god complex
Now I’m older, and outta breath
[Chorus]
I lost myself in the silver rain
Drowned in dreams I can’t explain
Every dollar was a piece of youth
Every lie just became my truth
Now I’m gold dust, fading slow
Building kingdoms out of what I sold
[Verse 2]
I keep my heart in a wallet fold
Every friend I had turned into gold
The mirror smiles, but it looks through me
Even my shadow don’t believe
I prayed to work, I slept to schemes
Turned love into another thing I bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
All that glitters fills the void
‘Til you can’t tell what you destroyed
[Chorus]
I lost myself in the silver rain
Drowned in dreams I can’t explain
Every dollar was a piece of youth
Every lie just became my truth
Now I’m gold dust, fading slow
Building kingdoms out of what I sold
[Bridge]
I don’t need your pity or your peace
Just light me up and let me cease
The faster I run, the less I feel
Maybe the chase was always real
(guitar solo – emotional, climbing like regret itself, fading into ambient hum)
[Final Chorus]
I lost myself in the silver rain
Drowned in dreams I can’t reclaim
Every win just cut me loose
I bought my cage, I burned my roots
Now I’m gold dust, nothing left to prove
Just another ghost with something to lose
*(outro – whispered echo: “gold dust youth… gold dust truth…”)
