Shadows in my bloodstream whisper names I used to know,
Every memory a weapon, every heartbeat set to blow.
City lights are bleeding out like dying stars across the sky,
But I keep walking through the wreckage with a thousand reasons why.
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the fracture in my chest,
A war between my love and death.
If I don’t break, I’ll turn to stone…
But I won’t face this night alone.
[Chorus]
So pull me from the dark—
I’m falling deeper in the veins of the void.
Where the ghosts of who I was
Are screaming loud, begging me to destroy.
If I burn, then let me burn
As the world collapses under my voice.
’Cause the fire in my lungs
Is the only thing that drowns out the noise.
[Verse 2]
Crimson on the pavement paints the truth I tried to hide,
All the demons wear my face, they know the secrets in my spine.
Gravity keeps dragging me right back to where I fell apart,
But I claw my way through hell to resurrect a beating heart.
[Breakdown / Bridge]
Tear me open—
Let the night spill out of me.
I’m choking on the pieces
Of the man I’ll never be.
(SCREAM) I won’t fade! I won’t fold!
I’ll carve my name into the cold…
[Final Chorus]
Pull me from the dark—
I’m falling deeper in the veins of the void.
Where the ghosts of who I was
Are begging me to let go of the noise.
If I shatter, let me rise—
A phoenix born of everything destroyed.
’Cause the fire in my lungs
Is the only thing that gives me a voice.
[Outro]
In the silence after war,
I finally hear my heartbeat roar…
