Embers to Gold

[Intro] [Verse 1] Cold sheets, empty streets, echoes of your name, Shadows linger where your laughter used to reign. The bassline hums a truth I can’t deny, A fractured melody beneath the neon sky. [Pre-Chorus] But the shaker’s whisper pulls me to the floor, A heartbeat syncopated, knocking at my door. Rhythm’s arms reach out, they guide me through the haze, A conga’s prayer, a path to brighter days. [Chorus] From embers to gold, I rise, I rise, (oh-oh-oh!) Dancing in the fire, reclaiming my skies. The brass shouts freedom, my scars sing along, (sing along!) Broken notes now healing—this is where I belong. [Verse 2] Fingers trace the cracks you left behind, But the piano’s tears are sweeter, redefined. The guitar scoffs, “Chika-chika, let it go,” A syncopated rebellion, steady and slow. [Pre-Chorus] Hi-hats gossip, “Darling, don’t look back,” Snare snaps clarity—no love lost, just tracks. The bassline grins, “Follow my crooked spine,” A polyrhythm prophet, stitching fractured time. [Chorus] From embers to gold, I rise, I rise, (oh-oh-oh!) Dancing in the fire, reclaiming my skies. The brass shouts freedom, my scars sing along, (sing along!) Broken notes now healing—this is where I belong. [Bridge] Storm’s eye quiet, the drums chant low, “Ash to anthem, let the rebellion grow.” Call-and-response with the ghosts of my past, The synth pads hug me—I’m whole at last. [Chorus] From embers to gold, I rise, I rise, (oh-oh-oh!) Dancing in the fire, reclaiming my skies. The brass shouts freedom, my scars sing along, (sing along!) Broken notes now healing—this is where I belong. [Outro]
