Black Ice Veins

Empty streets hum in the dead-night air, Breath turns to fog — no one there. Heartbeat slow, eyes stay wide, Every shadow hides a side. Came from the cold where the hearts don’t mend, Dreams get sold — trust just bends. Pain’s a friend that never leaves, Talkin’ soft while my soul still bleeds. Learned to move when the fear runs deep, Every loss is a debt I keep. Don’t need crowns, just peace tonight, Walk that line between wrong and right. My pulse still cold — I move alone, Black ice veins — I carved my throne. Every breath feels carved in bone, One wrong word and the crown’s long gone. (Step through fire — cross that line) (Stay cold — that’s how I survive) Silence loud in the back of my head, Counting ghosts of the things I said. Every scar just burns too slow, Faith runs thin when the nights don’t go. Hands still shake but the face stays calm, World took blood just to show its charm. I don’t chase fame, just chase release, Trade my pain for a little peace. They want pain — I supply that fuel, Every scar I earn, I call that school. Talk that talk, but they bend that rule, I’ve been out here bleed-proof, ice-cool. Truth cut deep like a blade in prayer, Loyalty rare, can’t find it there. Run through hell with a calm-stare glare, Heart don’t freeze — it was never fair. Fast lane life, no brakes, no fear, I’m the echo they don’t wanna hear. Every sin’s a name I know, Every truth cuts soft and low. If I fall tonight, don’t cry, I was born to bleed, not die. My pulse still cold — I move alone, Black ice veins — I carved my throne. Every breath feels carved in bone, One wrong word and the crown’s long gone. (Step through fire — cross that line) (Stay cold — that’s how I survive) Rain falls hard but it feels like home, Every tear just cuts the stone. Still I breathe, still I stay, Black ice veins won’t fade away.
