Even Kings Fall

Verse 1:
Koji waking up to silence, same ceiling, same pain
Dreams on the dresser but they’re covered in rain
Clock keeps ticking but he’s stuck in between
Who he used to be and who he’s trying to be

Late nights talking to a heart that won’t heal
Love slipped away, now it don’t even feel real
Empty messages, “read” but no reply
He keeps asking God why he gotta fight

Pre-Chorus:
He got weight on his chest, can’t breathe right
Every step forward feel like rewind
But he still holding on to that light
Even when it don’t shine

Chorus:
Koji don’t break, no, don’t you fold
Even when the world turn your heart so cold
You been down, you been lost, you been low
But your story ain’t over, just so you know
Koji rise up, even through the pain
Sun gon’ find you through the pouring rain
You just one step from a brighter day
Don’t give up now, you gon’ find your way

Verse 2:
Job feeling like a cage, no escape route
Working every day but he still in a drought
Passion in his veins but it’s hard to chase
When survival got him running in place

Love left scars that he cover with pride
But deep down he just wanna feel alive
Friends faded out, now he riding alone
Trying to build something he can call home

Pre-Chorus:
He got dreams that he hide inside
Cause the world told him “don’t try”
But there’s fire he can’t deny
Even when hope feel like a lie

Chorus:
Koji don’t break, no, don’t you fold
Even when the world turn your heart so cold
You been down, you been lost, you been low
But your story ain’t over, just so you know
Koji rise up, even through the pain
Sun gon’ find you through the pouring rain
You just one step from a brighter day
Don’t give up now, you gon’ find your way

Bridge:
If nobody sees you, I see you now
Every tear, every scar, every broken vow
You ain’t finished, you just in the fight
Even stars gotta learn how to shine in the night

Final Chorus:
Koji don’t break, this your moment now
Even kings fall just to learn how
You been hurt, you been bent, not broke
There’s a fire in your soul, let it show
Koji stand tall, let the past fade out
Turn your pain into something loud
One more step, don’t walk away
Your better life just a breath away
