[Intro]
Fog clings to the streetlights, silver rain on bricks
A lone silhouette moves where the shadows twist
[Verse 1]
I walk the lanes that dreams forget, a whisper at my back
Past wounds like moths, they circle near, but I keep them slammed
Every cry I swallowed in the dark serves as another blade
Yet I lift my chin to face the night, I won’t be ruled by the shade
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilt, you’re a chain I’ve worn too long
But I’ll cut through, brave the dawn
[Chorus]
I fight the monsters outside and in, till dawn erases fear
The ghosts I carry learn to bend, when I feel them near
redemption is a breath I chase through rain and smoke and stone
Alone, but not erased, I stand, reclaiming what I own
[Verse 2]
Mist like a veil over the sins I’ve kept well-hidden
Footsteps echo promises I swore I’d never loosen
The city moans a lullaby to every scar I wear
Yet I stride through puddles, brave the glare, and choose repair
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilt, you’re a chain I’ve worn too long
But I’ll cut through, brave the dawn
[Chorus]
I fight the monsters outside and in, till dawn erases fear
The ghosts I carry learn to bend, when I feel them near
redemption is a breath I chase through rain and smoke and stone
Alone, but not erased, I stand, reclaiming what I own
[Bridge]
If heaven trembles, I’ll hold the line
If hell breathes close, I won’t resign
In every broken streetlight, I find a spark
To guide me through the marks of the dark
[Chorus]
I fight the monsters outside and in, till dawn erases fear
The ghosts I carry learn to bend, when I feel them near
redemption is a breath I chase through rain and smoke and stone
Alone, but not erased, I stand, reclaiming what I own
[Outro]
The mist begins to lift; a taller dawn appears
I walk forward, sword of will, shedding lingering fears
