[INTRO – whispered growl]  
Yeah… this is for you, Mom.  
Every scar, every step… I’m still trying.

[VERSE 1]  
I’m lost in my head, memories cut like blades,  
Walking through the wreckage of the choices I made.  
You were fading in a hospice bed, fighting for breath,  
And I only came once while you stared down death.

I was drowning in my chaos, blind to the truth,  
Breaking everything around me since the days of my youth.  
Now I’m haunted by the silence, by the things I didn’t say,  
By the love I should’ve shown before you slipped away.

[PRE‑CHORUS]  
Did you know I loved you even when I fell apart?  
Did you see the broken kid still holding you in his heart?

[CHORUS – melodic metal roar]  
Echoes of your name still shake my bones,  
I hear you in the dark when I’m feeling alone.  
I’m better than I was, but I’m scarred and flawed—  
Still trying to be the man you saw.  
I love you, Mom…  
I’m sorry for it all.

[VERSE 2]  
I remember every moment that I pushed you away,  
Every fight, every night, every word I didn’t say.  
You carried all my storms, you held the line,  
Even when I treated your love like it wasn’t mine.

Now I’m standing in the ruins of the past I made,  
Trying to build something real from the mess and the pain.  
Would you be proud of the steps I take?  
Would you see the change in the life I make?

[PRE‑CHORUS]  
I’m not perfect, but I’m fighting every day,  
Trying to honor you in every single way.

[CHORUS – melodic metal roar]  
Echoes of your name still shake my bones,  
I hear you in the dark when I’m feeling alone.  
I’m better than I was, but I’m scarred and flawed—  
Still trying to be the man you saw.  
I love you, Mom…  
I’m sorry for it all.

[BRIDGE – spoken/rap over heavy breakdown]  
If I could go back, I’d sit by your side,  
Hold your hand through the pain, through the tears I hide.  
But time doesn’t bend, and the past won’t change,  
So I carry your love through the guilt and the shame.

You’re the fire in my chest when I rise from the fall,  
You’re the whisper in the dark saying “stand up tall.”  
I’m living for the moments that you’ll never see—  
But I hope somewhere you’re still proud of me.

[FINAL CHORUS – full power]  
Echoes of your name still shake my bones,  
I hear you in the dark when I’m feeling alone.  
I’m better than I was, but I’m scarred and flawed—  
Still trying to be the man you saw.  
I love you, Mom…  
I’m sorry for it all.  
I’m sorry…  
But I’m still standing.
