Intro (low, slow beat) Shadows line the runway, scars beneath the skin Heroes on a leash, but the war’s still within No halos, no crowns, just blood on our hands If this is redemption, we’ll make our own stand Verse 1 – Yelena I was raised in a lie, taught love was a tool Every hug was a weapon, every tear was a rule I joke so I don’t sink, I laugh so I breathe But my sister’s a ghost who still won’t leave I learned how to kill before I learned my name They said, “Feel nothing,” now I feel all the pain If family’s a choice, then I choose to stay Even if the past still pulls me away Pre-Chorus (group, quiet) We’re stitched together by sins we didn’t choose Still walking forward with nothing to lose Chorus (all) We’re the ones you call when the light fades out Not clean enough for prayers, not strong enough to shout Every soul here’s bleeding, but we’re standing tall Broken don’t mean gone— Broken don’t mean gone Verse 2 – Bucky I wake up with hands that I don’t recognize Full of names I erased, full of decades of lies They say it wasn’t me, but I still feel the weight Every scream in my sleep shows up wide awake I tried being good, tried washing it clean But metal remembers what mercy means If I fight for tomorrow, it’s not to be free It’s so no one else turns into me Verse 3 – Red Guardian They told me I mattered, then left me behind A hero in headlines, a joke over time I flex for the mirror, laugh loud for the room But pride is just fear in a red, white, and blue I missed every birthday, every chance to be there I won every fight but still wasn’t fair If strength is a shield, then mine’s full of cracks I just want my family—I don’t need the facts Chorus (repeat, stronger) We’re the ones you call when the light fades out Not clean enough for prayers, not strong enough to shout Every soul here’s bleeding, but we’re standing tall Broken don’t mean gone— Broken don’t mean gone Verse 4 – US Agent They gave me a shield and a list of demands Said, “Be the symbol, just follow commands” I tried to be perfect, I tried to be right Now the blood on my hands won’t wash out at night They built me to win, not to understand So when I fell short, they took back the plan If justice is heavy, I carry it still A good man twisted by force of will Verse 5 – Ghost I fade through the walls, but I feel every hit I’m trapped in my body, I’m sick of this glitch Pain hums like a wire beneath my skin I disappear just to breathe again I wasn’t a villain, I was just alone Breaking apart at a molecular home If I shake when I stand, it’s not from fear It’s from fighting to stay right here Verse 6 – Taskmaster I remember the moves, but not the face Every fight I win steals another trace I mirror the past, I borrow the skill But the person inside me is silent still They rewrote my mind, erased my voice Obedience coded, no room for choice If I fight beside you, it’s not for fame It’s to prove I’m more than a programed name Chorus (short, urgent) We’re still here, still breathing
