[Verse] Days blend dark with endless gray I erase the fight to keep them away A world of chaos I can’t escape But duty pulls me into its shape [Verse 2] Tired eyes that see too much Each scar I bear is a heavy crutch Teaching fire to control its flame Still the erasure leaves me the same [Chorus] Hold on tight when the night goes blind I erase myself to save mankind A shadow lives where the hero stands With no applause and no demands [Verse 3] Classroom walls and echoes strong I show them right but dwell on wrong A burden shared through silent deeds Their lights will bloom from scattered seeds [Bridge] The weight I bear is mine alone A silent war I’ve always known But in their eyes I find a spark To push through every endless dark [Chorus] Hold on tight when the night goes blind I erase myself to save mankind A shadow lives where the hero stands With no applause and no demands
