Sole Survivor

“Sole Survivor” — Full Song

Woke up to silence in a world that forgot me,

A vault door hissing like it’s breathing its last.

Two centuries passed while I stayed frozen,

Now I’m walking out alone through the skeletons of my past.

Nuka signs flicker on the corpses of cities,

Wind blows ash like snow across the ruins of dreams.

Everybody says the Commonwealth is living,

But all I see is death wearing people like a theme.

I’m not a hero — I was never meant to lead,

Just a parent with a nightmare carved deep in my memory.

They took my son like he was some experiment,

Now I cross the wasteland wondering what piece of me died with him.

Raiders laugh with bullets singing through the rust,

Super Mutants roar like the world isn’t dead enough.

Brotherhood flies overhead preaching salvation,

But they’d burn down the earth if it justified their cause.

Railroad moves silent, cutting chains in the shadows,

Fighting for freedom nobody else even sees.

Minutemen rise from the ashes, rebuilding with hope,

But hope breaks easy when you’re living on your knees.

Every faction wants to write the ending for me,

But nobody asks the price of the pages they burn.

Truth in the wasteland comes twisted and broken,

And Shaun’s face haunts every turn I take to learn.

---

I keep walking through the fallout,

Through the dust, through the fear, through the fire in my chest.

I’m the Sole Survivor,

Carrying the echo of a world that never made it to the next.

I’m searching for answers

In a wasteland that keeps tearing every truth apart.

But I’ll go through hell again

If it means I get one more chance to save what’s left of my heart.

---

Power Armor groans like a beast half-awake,

Each step in the metal feels heavier than fate.

The Institute whispers like a ghost in the wires,

Their cold hands reaching deeper than the shadows they make.

People call them saviors, devils, both in the same breath,

But I’ve learned there’s no good guys when the world’s this wrecked.

Just survivors choosing which lie hurts less.

Mama Murphy says she sees me in the visions,

Says the road I’m walking ends in fire or forgiveness.

But prophecy’s cheap when the world’s this twisted,

So I trust my gun more than anyone’s wisdom.

---

So I keep walking through the fallout,

Through betrayal, through the broken and the lost.

I’m the Sole Survivor,

Paying for tomorrow with the pieces of the past I lost.

And even if I find Shaun standing in the light,

Even if the truth cuts deeper than a knife —

I’ll face the wasteland, night after night,

Because someone’s gotta stand when the world stops fighting.

I’m the Sole Survivor…

Still searching for hope in a place that forgot how to breathe.
