Fading Embers

[Intro] [Verse 1] I traded my wings for a cage I designed, Painted the walls with the dreams I resigned. The ghost of what’s lost whispers cold in my ear, “You could’ve had fire, but you chose to fear.” [Chorus] Now I chase the sting of a needle’s embrace, Or the smoke in my lungs to forget your face. The high’s a slow death, but it feels like a spark— The only light left in this endless dark. [Verse 2] I carved your name where the scars never fade, Dug my way deeper to feel less afraid. The bottle’s a sermon, the blade’s a old friend, They tell me I’m real when I’m breaking again. [Chorus] Now I chase the sting of a needle’s embrace, Or the smoke in my lungs to forget your face. The high’s a slow death, but it feels like a spark— The only light left in this endless dark. [Bridge] The world’s a flatline, I’m a flicker undone, Dancing with demons just to feel like I’ve won. But heaven’s a lie and the pain’s always true— If I can’t have you, I’ll let hell have me too. [Chorus] Now I chase the sting of a needle’s embrace, Or the smoke in my lungs to forget your face. The high’s a slow death, but it feels like a spark— The only light left in this endless dark. [Outro]
