Look at me when the night feels heavy
When your hands forget their strength
I’ve walked through ash and broken echoes
Just to stand where you stand
I don’t wear innocence like a crown
I’ve never promised to be clean
I learned love in the firelight
Where survival taught me what it means
Pre-Chorus
I don’t flinch at ghosts behind your eyes
I don’t ask you to pretend
Every scar you try to hide
Is a war I’m willing to defend
Chorus
When you look into my eyes
You’ll see flames where mercy ends
All the cities I burned down
Were filled with those who hurt you then
I don’t kneel, I don’t run
I don’t love you halfway through
If the world comes for your throat
It’ll have to burn through me and you
Verse 2
They taught you silence was survival
That peace meant swallowing your name
But I was never built for quiet
I answer pain with holy flame
I don’t need your past erased
I don’t need you untouched or new
I want the man who made it through
Still breathing, still standing—you
Pre-Chorus
I don’t love the version they controlled
I love the truth you try to hide
The one who’s tired of being small
The one who’s ready to decide
Chorus
So when you look into my eyes
See the fire, not the fear
Every city left in ruin
Was a threat that came too near
I don’t save, I don’t chase
I don’t beg you to stay true
I stand here, scorched and loyal
Every flame was lit for you
Bridge
I won’t ask you to be fearless
I won’t promise this is easy
But I swear on every war I won
I will never leave you bleeding
If they try to pull you backward
If they whisper you’re not enough
Let them choke on the smoke
Of how fiercely I love
Final Chorus (Soft → Power)
When you look into my eyes
See the fire, see the vow
I didn’t burn the world for fun
I burned it so we’re safe now
If you fall, I fall with you
If you rise, I rise the same
I am not your calm harbor—
I am your wildfire name
Outro
So stand with me in the aftermath
Where the ashes finally rest
Everything I destroyed
Was to protect what’s left.
