Verse 1
Beneath the smoke, I taste regret,
The scars you left, I can’t forget.
I wear my guilt like a crown of thorns,
A dying god that feels reborn.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (half-time feel)
The fire whispers in my veins,
A requiem for all my pain.
⸻
Chorus (open chords + melodic lift)
Burn my wings, I’m not your angel,
Just ashes of my halo.
I fall from grace in silence deep,
A sinner too lost to keep.
⸻
Verse 2
I built my hope on broken glass,
The mirror shows what I can’t surpass.
Every prayer just fades to static,
I’m half divine, half automatic.
⸻
Bridge → Guitar Solo
Lyrics (first half):
Tear me open, I’ll let the light in,
My soul combusts beneath my skin.
Then Solo (40 seconds):
• Start: sustained harmonic minor bend → tremolo run.
• Middle: sweep arpeggios (C minor → G# major → A diminished).
• End: divebomb into clean reverb tail → back into the chorus.
⸻
Final Chorus (extended)
Burn my wings, I’m not your angel,
Just ashes of my halo.
These flames consume the heart I keep,
So bury me where fire sleeps.
