“Weight of Your Name”
[Verse 1]
I still hear your boots on the floor at night
Ghost echoes crawling under weak porch lights
Hands like stone, eyes carrying wars
Built this house bleeding through broken doors
You never said much, you never had to
Silence hit harder than words could do
I spent my whole life chasing your shadow
Trying to be steel while drowning below
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the walls shake inside my head
A thousand things I should’ve said
[Chorus]
I CARRY THE WEIGHT OF YOUR NAME!
LIKE CHAINS DRAGGED THROUGH FIRE AND RAIN!
I SCREAM TO THE SKY BUT THE SKY WON’T SPEAK
THE STRONGEST MEN ARE THE ONES THAT BREAK WEAK!
YOU TAUGHT ME TO STAND
YOU TAUGHT ME TO FIGHT
BUT NOBODY TOLD ME HOW TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT!
I’M BLEEDING THROUGH MEMORIES I CAN’T ESCAPE
STILL HOLDING THE GHOST OF YOUR FACE!
[Verse 2]
Old photographs and dust on the shelf
Trying to find pieces of myself
I got your anger running through my veins
I got your scars without your pain
Sometimes I swear you’re in my reflection
Looking back with disappointment
Or maybe pride—I can’t tell anymore
I’m still that kid standing at your door
[Breakdown]
SAY IT!
WAS I ENOUGH?!
SAY IT!
WHEN LIFE GOT ROUGH!
I BUILT THESE WALLS FROM FEAR AND RUST
I LEARNED TOO YOUNG NOT TO TRUST
[Final Chorus]
I CARRY THE WEIGHT OF YOUR NAME!
THE FIRE STILL BURNS IN MY VEINS!
IF I FALL DOWN I SWEAR I WON’T STAY
I’LL DRAG YOUR MEMORY INTO THE FLAMES!
CAUSE EVEN IF THE LIGHT DIES AWAY
EVEN IF THE WORLD FORGETS MY FACE
I’LL WALK THROUGH HELL WITH BROKEN BONES
AND MAKE SURE YOU NEVER WALK ALONE
(slow outro)
Still hear your boots…
Still hear your voice…
Still carrying the weight…
Still carrying the weight…
