[Verse 1 – Emotional Rap]
Feathers made of iron and regret
Skyline fading in silhouette
Every dream that I never met
Still circling me like a silhouette
Tried to fly but the weight pulled down
Hope corroded, it starts to brown
Smile cracked when it hit the ground
No applause, just a hollow sound
I was built for a higher place
But gravity don’t show no grace
Every scar leave a silver trace
Etched deep in my face
Still I climb with a fractured spine
Every step out of borrowed time
If I fall, let it be on a line
That I crossed on my own design
⸻
[Chorus 1 – Melodic / Big]
These rusted wings won’t let me soar
But I’m still reaching for something more
Even if I hit the floor
I won’t close that door
Through the smoke, through the flame
Through the weight of my own name
If I break, I break the chain
I won’t stay the same
⸻
[Verse 2 – Groove Build]
Sky too wide for a broken frame
Clouds spell out every doubt and shame
Rain come down but it don’t cleanse pain
Just amplify what I can’t contain
Internal rhythm — slow and deep
Heartbeat heavy but it still keeps
Marching forward through shattered sleep
Promises I couldn’t keep
Hands bleed gripping faded light
Knees shake but I stand and fight
Even clipped, I still ignite
In the dead of night
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Stronger]
These rusted wings drag through dust
But I refuse to turn to rust
Even if I crash from trust
I’ll rise because I must
Through the fall, through the ache
Through every vow I couldn’t make
If I bend, I’ll never break
There’s more at stake
⸻
[Breakdown – SCREAM]
(Instrument drop — heavy chugs)
TEAR —
THESE —
WINGS —
OFF ME
IF I CAN’T FLY
I’LL CRAWL THROUGH FIRE
BURN THE SKY
SET MY DESIRE
I WON’T DIE
IN SILENT WIRE
I’LL RISE —
HIGHER
⸻
[Final Chorus 3 – Cinematic / Explosive]
These rusted wings catch the flame
Now the scars don’t feel the same
From the ash I stake my claim
Reborn in pain
Through the storm, through the scars
I was never meant for bars
Even broken things can start
To become what they are
