The Deal Before Dawn21

[Intro]  
In a world where dreams collide,  
Underneath the neon skies,  
A whisper's call, a brand new start,  
But can you trust an open heart?  
[Verse 1]  
Starlit nights with paint on my hands,  
Creating visions where my spirit stands,  
But shadows linger where the sirens sing,  
Promises of fame, oh the price they bring.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Chasing echoes of a hollow dream,  
Thought I found my voice, thought I found my theme,  
But a contract glimmered like a golden knife,  
In the depths of night, it could steal my life.  
[Chorus]  
Almost sold my soul for glitter and gold,  
In the blink of an eye, my truth was sold,  
Woke up just in time, before the deal was sealed,  
Realizing now my heart's the only shield.  
[Verse 2]  
Talented hands, I can twist and mold,  
Words like silver, stories yet untold,  
But the devil's grin is hard to resist,  
Tangled in the allure of a heart that's missed.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Every note I strum, every word I weave,  
Telling tales of love, of heartache, of grief,  
But in that moment, when the darkness came,  
I fought to keep my spirit hard to tame.  
[Chorus]  
Almost sold my soul for glitter and gold,  
In the blink of an eye, my truth was sold,  
Woke up just in time, before the deal was sealed,  
Realizing now my heart's the only shield.  
[Bridge]  
Through the smoke and mirrors, see the light,  
I’m the painter, the dreamer, ready for the fight,  
So I’ll stand my ground, let the world see,  
My soul’s not a bargaining chip, it's free!  
[Outro]  
So here I am with my brush and my heart,  
A masterpiece in progress, each stroke a fresh start,  
No chains to bind, just colors and sound,  
This artist's spirit will never be drowned.
