Verse I Every road remembered my footsteps Long before I learned the cost. The wind kept every secret I whispered, Until I taught it the language of loss. I wore tomorrow like a stolen halo, Chasing horizons no hands could hold. The sky was wide enough for leaving... But never wide enough for home. Pre-Chorus I mistook the glow for dawn, Mistook the smoke for grace. Some fires warm the soul... Some erase the place. Chorus Every match looked like a sunrise, Every goodbye felt like release. Now the ashes know my true name... And home only exists in dreams. Verse II The chimney exhales my silence. The porch still waits through autumn rain. Some ghosts don't haunt old houses... They walk beside you just the same If mercy blooms, it blooms in cinders. If hope survives, it speaks in smoke. The stars still shine above the ruins, Where all the promises I made were broke. Bridge Maybe home was never just a place... Maybe it was the hands I let go. And every bridge I turned to embers Still burns beneath the river's flow. Final Chorus You can't go back home When you burn all your bridges. The fires grow cold, But the ashe remembers. I carry the embers in my pocket Smoke inside my lungs. Still searching for the front door To a house that's long since gone. Every match looked like a sunrise... Every goodbye felt like release. Now the ashes know my true name... And home only exists in dreams
