Embers in the Echo

[Intro] [Verse 1] The shadows hum a lullaby, Of days that slipped like autumn sighs. A pocket full of fading dreams, And rivers cracked where moonlight gleams. [Pre-Chorus] I traced the scars the stars forgot, Held my breath in the quiet rot— But somewhere past the ache and ache, A whispered wind begins to wake. [Chorus] Oh, I’ll burn brighter than the ghost I’ve been, A rising fire where the dark caves in. These chains are dust, this weight’s undone— I’m the flame in the night, the waking sun. [Verse 2] The road was paved with fractured vows, Each step a dirge, each mile a house. But in the cracks, a sapling grows, Its roots where all my sorrow froze. [Pre-Chorus] I carved my name in April frost, Let the tears fall where they’re lost— Now the storm bends to my song, A melody where I belong. [Chorus] Oh, I’ll burn brighter than the ghost I’ve been, A rising fire where the dark caves in. These chains are dust, this weight’s undone— I’m the flame in the night, the waking sun. [Bridge] The phoenix learns to fly through ash, A thousand falls, a single c***h— Then wings unfold in borrowed light, To kiss the edge of tomorrow’s f***t. [Chorus] Oh, I’ll burn brighter than the ghost I’ve been, A rising fire where the dark caves in. These chains are dust, this weight’s undone— I’m the flame in the night, the waking sun. [Outro]
