(Verse 1)
Streetlights bleed, a fractured gleam, reflecting shards of a fading dream.
The metal screams, a phantom sound, echoing deep in hallowed ground.
Not the crash, but the quiet hum, of what’s undone, of what’s to come.
Every breath, a heavy sigh, beneath a bruised and endless sky.
The world moves on, a blur of motion, I’m stuck in a static, dark devotion.
To that one split, defining frame, etched in fire, searing flame.
(Pre-Chorus)
A hollow ache, a silent scream, pulling me from a peaceful dream.
The echo chamber of my mind, a truth I struggle hard to find.
Was it a fault, a twist of fate? Or just a lesson learned too late?
The engine hums, a low lament, for innocence forever rent.
(Chorus)
Ashes of the aftermath, scattered on a broken path.
The taste of rust, the sting of doubt, what was rebuilt, now bleeding out.
Can I unlearn this crushing weight? Or am I bound by endless hate?
Reborn in fire, scorched and scarred, rebuilding life, a broken card.
But every step, a tremor deep, promises that I couldn't keep.
From the shadow, I emerge, riding on destruction’s surge.
(Verse 2)
The whispers rise, from concrete cracks, pulling me down, no turning back.
Faces blur in the passing crowd, their laughter sharp, their voices loud.
Do they see the ghost I wear? The burden of a truth I bear?
A phantom brake, a sudden swerve, testing every strained nerve.
The silence now, a deafening roar, pounding on my mental door.
Haunted by the choices made, in the shadows, light betrayed.
(Pre-Chorus)
A hollow ache, a silent scream, pulling me from a peaceful dream.
The echo chamber of my mind, a truth I struggle hard to find.
Was it a fault, a twist of fate? Or just a lesson learned too late?
The engine hums, a low lament, for innocence forever rent.
(Chorus)
Ashes of the aftermath, scattered on a broken path.
The taste of rust, the sting of doubt, what was rebuilt, now bleeding out.
Can I unlearn this crushing weight? Or am I bound by endless hate?
Reborn in fire, scorched and scarred, rebuilding life, a broken card.
But every step, a tremor deep, promises that I couldn't keep.
From the shadow, I emerge, riding on destruction’s surge.
(Bridge)
A shattered mirror, reflecting strife, the jagged edges of a life.
No turning back, no clean slate given, just the fragments, wind-driven.
The roar inside, it starts to fade, replaced by choices I have made.
To reconcile, to break the chain, to rise above the endless pain.
The road ahead, still dark and steep, secrets that the shadows keep.
But in the dust, a flicker bright, a promise of a new-found light.
(Outro)
Ashes rise, a phoenix glow,
From the wreckage, watch me grow.
The aftermath, a lesson learned,
A new path forged, a spirit burned, then yearned.
