[Intro] (Soft piano and distant echoes) I tried to hold the pieces tight, But they slipped through like grains of light. Now I’m staring down the past, Running from a shadow that always lasts. [Verse 1] I built a wall to block the rain, But it poured right through my soul again. Every step was made in doubt, Screaming loud with a muted mouth. They told me “fight,” I did my time, Wrote my name across the line. But it washed away with every lie— Truth and pain, they never die. [Hook] I kept falling forward just to break again, Reaching out through fire just to feel the pain. Tried to make sense of the things they said, But in the end, it’s all inside my head. [Verse 2] The weight of words I never said, Buried me like the walking dead. Every moment I rewind Plays the scars I left behind. The louder I scream, the less I’m heard, Lost between the lines and slurred. And when I tried to let it go, It came back like an undertow. [Hook] I kept falling forward just to break again, Reaching out through fire just to feel the pain. Tried to make sense of the things they said, But in the end, it’s all inside my head. [Bridge 1] (softer, haunting) And I don’t know who I am, Just echoes in the sand. Tried to rise, tried to stand, But it all slips through my hands. [Turntablism Solo] (DJ scratches layered over instrumental breakdown) (Beat fades, re-emerges with layered scratches: vocal fragments like “falling… forward…” “inside my head…” echo and swirl) (Builds tension for return to final verse) [Verse 3] Can’t erase what’s etched in stone, I walked the path so far alone. Tried to light the fuse inside, But every spark just seemed to die. The truth is hard, the lie was sweet, But both of them led to defeat. Still I march, no turning back— Haunted but still on the track. [Hook] I kept falling forward just to break again, Reaching out through fire just to feel the pain. Tried to make sense of the things they said, But in the end, it’s all inside my head. [Bridge 2] (more powerful, epic build-up) If time could heal, I’d wait for years, But I’ve bled through all my fears. I scream, I fall, I rise again— A cycle with no end. [Outro - fading echoes with piano] I tried to hold the pieces tight… But they slipped through like grains of light…
