Fallout

(Intro – Dark Piano)

(Soft decay, distant echoes, uneasy atmosphere)

(Verse 1)

Ashes drifting through a hollow sky,

Silent screams where the angels died.

Broken streets and a fractured past,

Every memory fading fast.

Cold wind carries what’s left of me,

A ghost of who I used to be.

No salvation, no escape route,

Just the wreckage of fallout.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every step feels like sinking sand,

Every truth slips through my hands.

(Chorus)

This is the fallout of the life I betrayed,

A war with myself that I never outran.

I buried the light but it wouldn’t stay dead,

Now shadows are all that I am.

If mercy exists beyond what I’ve become,

Why do these nightmares feel so damn real?

(Verse 2)

Empty rooms and a shattered frame,

Nothing left that I can blame.

Fading pulse of a dying flame,

Every scar bears my name.

Your voice lingers inside my head,

A cruel reminder of what I said.

Regret cuts deep but time stands still,

A poisoned wound I cannot heal.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every breath feels counterfeit,

Every hope just bit by bit.

(Chorus)

This is the fallout of the life I betrayed,

A war with myself that I never outran.

I buried the light but it wouldn’t stay dead,

Now shadows are all that I am.

If mercy exists beyond what I’ve become,

Why do these nightmares feel so damn real?

(Bridge – Piano + Build)

If I could erase the damage done,

Would I be saved or still undone?

No resurrection, no return,

Only lessons I never learned.

The past still breathes beneath my skin,

A war I fight but never win.

(Breakdown)

Fractured soul, corrosion deep,

Haunted thoughts that never sleep.

No release from what I’ve made,

A debt of darkness never paid.

(Guitar Solo)

(Melancholic melodic lead, emotional bends, space-filled phrasing, dark atmosphere, restrained but powerful)

(Final Chorus)

This is the fallout I cannot escape,

A shadowed reflection I barely withstand.

I reached for the truth but it slipped away,

Like blood running out through my hands.

If forgiveness waits beyond all this ruin,

Will I find peace — or fade into black?

(Outro – Fading Piano)

(Distant, unresolved, haunting decay)
