Verse 1 [low, almost spoken] I chose the road that burned my name, Left behind the quiet and the shame. Empty streets and faded lights, The kind of peace that keeps you up at night. [gritty, building] I walked out clean, I left it all, But every step still feels like a fall. Truth is heavy, it’s what I know— I’m bound to things I chose to let go. Chorus I left a life like blood and wine, In the world I left behind, A broken past I can’t rewind, In the world I left behind. Verse 2 There’s no regret, just raw and real, The weight I feel, the hurt that's healed. Every road I took, every fight, Left me torn but kept me right. I don’t pretend to have it clear, I carry truth like a cross to bear. This life I chose, this world I left, It’s the price I pay with every breath. Chorus I left a life like blood and wine, In the world I left behind, The dust still hangs, a lingering sign, In the world I left behind. Bridge You can’t outrun what you’ve set in motion, Every choice you make, the roots run deep, They twist and turn, they bind and choke, A tangled web you can't revoke. And I live with that, straight to the bone, A history I can’t disown. I walk this line, I chose my side, No more masks and nothing to hide! Chorus I left a life like blood and wine, In the world I left behind, A buried truth, a severed line, In the world I left behind. Outro [spoken, dark and reflective] It’s all part of me, clear as day… The world I left, it’s here to stay.
