[Verse]
Heart so cold, could freeze a fire,
Streets turned saint into a liar.
Corner’s gospel, preach to the wire,
Hands shake, but the soul won’t tire.
Took his shot, now he’s expired.
Blood on the curb, dreams retired.
[Chorus]
Shot him, caught him, now he’s gone.
Echo of a life in the break of dawn.
Told myself I had to, can’t move on.
Shot him, caught him, but the weight feels wrong.
[Verse 2]
Guilt crawls slow, shadow in the alley,
Memory plays, like a warped finale.
Was it him or me? Same old tally.
Streetlights dim, face down in the valley.
Grimy whispers, cold as Cali.
Soul’s a shiv, cuts deep and rally.
[Pre-Chorus]
The barrel spoke, the silence broke,
A hollow scream, then the devil woke.
[Chorus]
Shot him, caught him, now he’s gone.
Echo of a life in the break of dawn.
Told myself I had to, can’t move on.
Shot him, caught him, but the weight feels wrong.
[Bridge]
What’s the price of survival, a ghost in the mirror?
Pulse in my chest, but the end feels nearer.
Graveyard thoughts, got the shovel, dig deeper.
Living through the pain, but it cuts like a cleaver.
