[Intro] Fingers trace the cracks in the wall… I breathe, but not the air you think I’m breathing. ⸻ [Verse 1] I ran through streets that knew my name, Rain soaked my coat, but never my shame. Windows flickered, a life I could touch, Faces blurred, but I held them too much. The café burned with laughter I stole, Whispers in corners, stories untold. Every door I opened closed behind, Every hand I reached for slipped from mine. A piano somewhere cracked in the night, Candles danced, casting flickering light. I thought I could stay, I thought I could heal, But the walls were whispering secrets I could feel. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I carried the weight that wasn’t mine, Felt every heartbreak, tasted every wine. The city never paused, the lights never dimmed, I held it all close, but it never touched him. ⸻ [Verse 2] I kissed a shadow under neon lights, Felt the tremor of desperate nights. I fought with ghosts I could not see, They whispered secrets meant to break me. Letters burned in a quiet room, Time stretched thin, then cracked in bloom. I chased the echoes of a vanished voice, Every choice made, another lost choice. A train rumbled, carrying someone else’s dreams, I leaned against the window, tracing silver streams. The smell of smoke, the taste of rain, The ache of stories that weren’t my own pain. ⸻ [Bridge] I walked through fire, flood, and storm, Held their moments, absorbed their form. Somewhere, a silence pulled me near, A truth I’d only see when the noise cleared. The clock ticks backward, then forward again, Moments fold into moments, beginnings meet ends. I felt it all, yet felt nothing at all, A mirror watching a world rise and fall. ⸻ [Final Verse] And when the night folds back into day, I watch it all drift quietly away. The fire, the flood, the trembling heart— All the story played, but I was never a part. I am the screen the scenes shine through, Untouched, unbroken, I remain true. Every shadow, every whispered scar, Was never mine… yet here they are.
