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)
