[Verse 1] We swore we'd stand Shoulder to shoulder Same direction Now I'm here In the dust Of every vow we carved in silence I touch the walls But all I feel is fractured stone I speak my name It echoes back in tones I’ve never known [Pre-Chorus] Who was that kid Eyes like embers Unrestrained Who is this face Staring back Hollowed out and drained [Chorus] I'm walking through the ruins of our promise Fragments of a former self beneath my feet I move in circles Orbit lines I can’t escape from Same cracked ground Same old pulse beneath Will these wounds ever seal around the memory Will tomorrow shape a kinder version of me [Verse 2] I trace my steps Same worn path Same weathered sign Every turn Pulls me deeper in my mind Questions rise Like crows that never leave the wire How do you breathe With ash inside your lungs and fire [Pre-Chorus] Was I ever whole Or just a shadow dressed as light Can I grow new skin Around a heart that’s lost its time [Chorus] I'm walking through the ruins of our promise Fragments of a former self beneath my feet I move in circles Orbit lines I can’t escape from Same cracked ground Same old pulse beneath Will these wounds ever seal around the memory Will tomorrow shape a kinder version of me [Bridge] If I wake and feel the sky grow lighter If I breathe deep and it no longer burns If my hands reach out without the tremor Will that mean the lesson finally turns To stand here Only me No ghosts to drag behind To let the past stay past And still be mine [Chorus] I'm walking through the ruins of our promise Fragments of a former self beneath my feet I move in circles Orbit lines I can’t escape from Same cracked ground Same old pulse beneath Will these wounds ever seal around the memory Will tomorrow shape a kinder version of me
