Fire in my Eyes

[Intro – Soft, clean guitar + ambient] I grew up in a house full of echoes… Not love… just voices breaking walls… [Verse 1 – Melodic Fast Rap] Plates on the floor, doors getting slammed I was a kid but I still understand Mama crying in the kitchen again Daddy yelling like he don’t give a damn TV loud but it can’t hide the pain Neighbors listening through the rain I learned silence before I learned trust Built my heart out of anger and rust Every night felt like war in the hall I was small but I carried it all Looking at the ceiling, praying it ends But the shouting just starts again [Pre-Hook – Melodic Build] I used to wish I could disappear Fade in the dark where nobody hears But something inside wouldn’t die [Hook – Big Alt Rock Chorus] There’s fire in my eyes Even when I’m breaking inside From a home that never felt like home But I survived You can see it in my stare All the nights I breathed despair From the ashes I will rise There’s fire in my eyes [Verse 2 – Faster Flow, Emotional] Homework done with tears on the page Growing up way too fast for my age Friends asking why I’m always quiet How do I say my house is a riot? Love felt fake, promises thin Trust issues under my skin I don’t hate them, I just don’t know How a family turns that cold I built my dreams out of broken glass Cut my feet but I still ran fast If pain was fuel then I’m gasoline Turned trauma into a machine [Bridge – Half-Time, Heavy Guitar] You don’t know what it’s like To fear your own front door To sleep with headphones on So you can’t hear the war But I made a vow that night I won’t repeat their lies The past may burn my skin… But it won’t kill the fire in my eyes [Final Hook – Layered, Powerful] There’s fire in my eyes You can’t drown it with your lies I came from the darkest nights But I survived From the chaos I arise No more tears, no disguise I’m more than what I left behind There’s fire in my eyes
