Credits: Writing: Me (@Dawktrep-/@Dawko-) Singing: @funkydog809 Lyrics: (Verse 1) The air is thick with memories, This place still echoes pain. Faces flash like ghostly flames, I can't outrun their names. I carved my path through shadows, Left my mark on every one, Their trust, my weapon; Their faith undone. (Pre-Chorus) But here where it started, The voices rise, uncharted. A scream I know too well—it claws inside. For a moment, I feel it, A crack in my reasoned spirit, Though I’ve buried every tear I might have cried. (Chorus) Back to the beginning, Where I lit the first spark. All the bridges burned behind me, Now they glow in the dark. I told myself it mattered, That I did what I had to do. But here, in the ashes, There’s a flicker of truth. (Verse 2) The lab, the plans, the dreams we wove, It’s clearer now than then. I told myself betrayal Was the only means to an end. I remember the scream as I walked away, The crack of trust as it broke. I wasn’t the monster back then, But I shaped myself in the smoke. (Pre-Chorus) And here where it started, The whispers aren’t fainthearted. Your voice cuts through like glass against my skin. For a moment, I falter, Though the pain won’t make me alter, I taste the bitter cost of what’s within. (Chorus) Back to the beginning, Where I lit the first spark. All the bridges burned behind me, Now they glow in the dark. I told myself it mattered, That I did what I had to do. But here, in the ashes, There’s a flicker of truth. (Bridge) No apologies, no time for tears, I’ve walked this road for years. But why do the screams haunt me now? Is it weakness, or the weight of the crown? I was always the one who survived, But survival feels hollow tonight. (Final Chorus) Back to the beginning, Where I chose this crooked line. Every betrayal, a piece of my armour, Now I see it’s all mine. I told myself it mattered, That I’d build something new, But here, in the ashes, There’s a flicker of truth. (Outro) Just a flicker—nothing more. I’ll press on, as before. But the voices, they follow. They’ll whisper evermore. there's some sneaky lil recordings inside somewhere :] -funkydog it is 1:44am.
