Embers in the Void

(Intro) Yo, I’m writing on crumpled paper, ink red as blood Short breaths, a crooked world, a heart full of embers This ain’t about bling or shiny cars on display It’s about old wounds screaming in a hollow place (Verse 1) Born between cracked walls, sweat smells of asphalt Where dreams are sold, but minds stay stiff and brittle Wild kids, defying a system that pretends to be blind Just dust on the streets, but we know we’re dangerous See mental bullets piercing fake TV screens This world’s a stage, evil actors always get the praise scene We’re just pawns on a chessboard of corrupt elites But my fingers are ready to press the disrupt key (Chorus) Hear the voice, this is a war raging in the soul A thin line between holding on or letting go Dim lights, yet we’re still resisting The world crumbles, but I keep shouting with conviction (Verse 2) They say "stay quiet," I say "make your voice louder" We’re not slaves to algorithms, minds unbound by glass towers What’s money worth if your heart’s torn apart? What’s fame mean when your soul’s an empty cart? They fake their concern, hand promises with slick smiles But every number in their accounts makes their conscience vile I don’t ask the world for anything at all Just let me stand without masks and facades (Bridge) This ain’t for the clubs or viral playlists Every bar is like a knife, piercing with raw hits I lay down all my wounds and sins in these lines Not for them, but for me and my little revolution this time (Chorus) Hear the voice, this is a war raging in the soul A thin line between holding on or letting go Dim lights, yet we’re still resisting The world crumbles, but I keep shouting with conviction (Outro) So if you hear this, look deep within yourself What are you chasing? What’s keeping you under their spell? Burn it all down, become the ash that rises high Because in this hollow void, only embers keep us alive © Copyright Lyric By XYZ 2K2IV
