[Intro]
Voices in the static
Shadows lick the flame
Something in me waking
And it knows your name
[Verse 1]
I loved you from a life gone cold
Before the silence took its hold
There was a storm beneath my skin
No peace outside, no peace within
I buried truth beneath the noise
Turned my rage into a voice
Every scar became a spark
Every heartbeat fed the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
If you saw the worst in me
Would you run — or stay and bleed?
[Chorus]
I was born beneath black skies
Trying not to kill your light
Lost myself in shadow wars
Still your ghost survives in mine
Every wound became a throne
Every night I faced alone
But through the wreckage, through the flame
I still whisper your name
[Verse 2]
Your eyes cut through the smoke I wore
Like sunlight through a broken war
But every word I couldn’t say
Turned into the chains I made
My darkness spoke with serpent tongues
Made a liar of my lungs
Still somewhere under all that hate
A dying ember learned to wait
[Pre-Chorus]
If you touched the scars I hide
Would you leave — or stand beside?
[Chorus]
I was born beneath black skies
Trying not to kill your light
Lost myself in shadow wars
Still your ghost survives in mine
Every wound became a throne
Every night I faced alone
But through the wreckage, through the flame
I still whisper your name
[Bridge]
Hear the thunder shake the wire
Feel the blood ignite the fire
I fought myself for far too long
Turned my weakness into song
Now the storm crawls out of me
Still unfinished, still unclean
But the dark no longer owns
Every shattered piece of soul
[Outro]
I loved you through the violence
Through the ruin in my head
And if your light still finds me
Maybe I’m not dead yet
