Echoes and Ashes

[Verse 1] I gave you my trust like a flame in the dark, But shadows grew longer, and you tore it apart. The blade in my back wore your smile so well, Now I walk through the wreckage, alone in this hell. [Pre-Chorus] But the stars remember when we swore we’d never fall, Through the silence, through the w*r, I still hear your call. [Chorus] So I run, though my past pulls me under, With scars that scream louder than thunder. I bleed for the bonds I swore I’d defend— For the love, for the pain, for the end. Even if fate burns the sky above, I’ll rise through the fire with the ghost of our love. [Verse 2] The road was a promise carved deep into stone, Now the echoes just mock me, I face them alone. But the hands that once held me, still haunt every f***t, A memory of kindness that cuts like the night. [Pre-Chorus] Can broken hearts still lead the way? Even if hope begins to decay? [Chorus] So I run, though the truth tears me open, Each breath a vow that remains unspoken. I scream for the days we believed in the light— For the lies, for the tears, for the f***t. Even if dreams turn to rust and dust, I’ll carry their weight, because someone must. [Bridge] Regret is a shadow I cannot outrun, But I’ll keep on walking until the dawn comes. If you still believe in who I used to be, Then maybe there’s still something left of me. [Final Chorus] So I run, through betrayal and sorrow, Chasing the edge of a nameless tomorrow. I f***t for the ones who won’t turn away— For the hope, for the hurt, for the day. Even if I fall before I’m whole, I’ll rise again... with a shattered soul.
