[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Dusk settles, shadows creep where the light once stood,
Silhouettes whisper secrets only the night could,
Breath in the cold, life’s a flicker, flame in the breeze,
Footsteps echo hollow, walkin’ through memories.
B***d in the soil, roots tangled deep with the pain,
Every heartbeat’s a clock tick, countin’ the rain,
Gravestones hum lullabies, names weathered and blurred,
But the pulse of existence? Yeah, it’s still heard.
[Chorus]
I’m always here, where the stars meet the dirt,
In the cracks of the concrete where the lost find their worth,
Life’s a shadow, death’s the sun—can’t outrun the dawn,
We’re fragments of forever, carryin’ on, carryin’ on.
[Verse 2]
Momma’s hands, calloused but warm, held the weight of the sky,
Daddy’s ghost in the hallway, teachin’ me how to fly,
Seen angels in alleyways, demons in chrome,
Every soul’s got a rhythm, a heartbeat they own.
I scribble my truth in the margins of time,
Ink stains on eternity, verses that climb,
The reaper’s a friend when the cycle gets tight,
We dance in the gray, neither day nor the night.
[Bridge]
Legacy’s a flame passed hand to hand,
Ash to art, dust to sand,
No end, no start—just the b**t of the rhyme,
Life and death share the same dotted line.
[Chorus]
I’m always here, where the stars meet the dirt,
In the cracks of the concrete where the lost find their worth,
Life’s a shadow, death’s the sun—can’t outrun the dawn,
We’re fragments of forever, carryin’ on, carryin’ on.
[Outro]
