[Verse 1] We were just walkin’ down the aisle, Laughin' loud, talkin’ for a while. Me and my brother, side by side, Never thought that night he’d die. Streetlights buzzin’, air was cold, Same road we’ve always strolled. But shadows moved — they came so fast, No time to run, no time to ask. [Pre-Chorus] I saw the fear inside his eyes, Then heard the shots, and watched him die. Blood on my hands, knees hit the floor, I screamed his name... but he breathed no more. [Chorus] This aisle turned into a grave, I ran while he stayed brave. I should’ve fought, should’ve stayed, But fear made me walk away. Now every night, I see his face, Trapped in that cursed place. I’m alive — but not okay... I walk this aisle in shame. [Verse 2] Sirens howlin’ far too late, I saw the gang just fade in hate. Hooded ghosts with empty hearts, Ripped my brother’s soul apart. Mama cries but doesn’t speak, I haven’t slept in three whole weeks. Friends ask why I didn’t fight — But they weren’t there that f**kin' night. [Pre-Chorus] He looked at me before the blow, As if to say, "Just go, just go." And I obeyed, I left him there... Now I drown in guilt and air. [Chorus] This aisle turned into a grave, I ran while he stayed brave. I should’ve fought, should’ve stayed, But fear made me walk away. Now every night, I see his face, Trapped in that cursed place. I’m alive — but not okay... I walk this aisle in shame. [Bridge – rap/spoken word style] I replay it every second. His voice. The shots. That question — Why not me? Why him? What kind of coward lives like this? I wish I turned around. Wish I took one down. Now I'm just a shadow, Stuck between silence and sound... [Final Chorus – stripped first half, explode second] This aisle turned into a grave... I ran while he stayed brave. (beat drops in) I should’ve fought, should’ve stayed, But fear made me walk away! Now every night, I see his face, Trapped in that cursed place. I’m alive — but not okay... I walk this aisle in shame. [Outro – soft, echo] ...I walk this aisle... alone.
