[Intro]
The city sighs in neon rain, I move where shadows breathe
A badge on my chest, a ghost in my sleeve
[Verse 1]
I stitched my past with secrets, threads of quiet lies
Duty wore a smile, but it hid the knife behind the eyes
I ran the lines between right and wrong, a borderless sea
What I called protection often felt like a plea to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
Every alley whispers my name in a coded tongue
Every choice unravels what I thought I’d spun
[Chorus]
I’m chasing truth through a maze of blurred lines
Between a oath I kept and the heart I left behind
If mercy is a weapon, I’ve learned to fire
To survive the echoes of my own hired fire
[Verse 2]
Names I wore like masks slip loose in the rain
Faces I saved with one hand, hurt with the other’s stain
I taste the ash of promises I promised to defend
The line keeps moving, and I’m not sure where it ends
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the bridges burned, one by one in the night
Ask the mirror who I am, and it sighs "not quite"
[Chorus]
I’m chasing truth through a maze of blurred lines
Between a oath I kept and the heart I left behind
If mercy is a weapon, I’ve learned to fire
To survive the echoes of my own hired fire
[Bridge]
Some days I crave the sun, some days I crave the lie-inside me
Between duty and desire, I choose what neither should be
[Chorus]
I’m chasing truth through a maze of blurred lines
Between a oath I kept and the heart I left behind
If mercy is a weapon, I’ve learned to fire
To survive the echoes of my own hired fire
[Outro]
So I move on, with a conscience that won’t decay
A rogue in the daylight, haunted by the price I paid
