Hour Thirteen

[Intro] The clock stopped ticking at twelve-oh-four But something whispered, "There’s one hour more" Shadows curled like smoke on the floor I knew I’d been here once before [Verse 1] Footsteps echo in an empty hall Pictures fading on a cracked white wall A mirror shows me what I’ve lost But time don’t care about the cost [Pre-Chorus] Fate’s a thief in a silken veil Counting down on a rusted scale Heartbeats louder in the pause Right before the final clause [Chorus] In Hour Thirteen, I see it clear All the ghosts I couldn’t hear Every lie I wrapped in gold Every truth I never told In Hour Thirteen, the silence screams A waking life inside a dream I face the dark I used to flee 'Cause Hour Thirteen is setting me free [Verse 2] A calendar with pages torn Each one a vow I never swore The moon is watching from above Like it knows what I’m made of [Pre-Chorus] Lightning writes my name in flame I’m not afraid to stake my claim No more running from the past This hour wasn’t meant to last [Chorus] In Hour Thirteen, I see it clear All the ghosts I couldn’t hear Every lie I wrapped in gold Every truth I never told In Hour Thirteen, the silence screams A waking life inside a dream I face the dark I used to flee 'Cause Hour Thirteen is setting me free [Bridge] (Ohhh—) Let the echoes break the chains Let the stillness speak my name If the world begins again Let it start from where I stand [Final Chorus] In Hour Thirteen, I draw the line Between the lost and what is mine I won’t fade into regret There’s more to live, more to get In Hour Thirteen, I finally see That every scar belongs to me No turning back, no in-between I’m reborn in Hour Thirteen [Outro] The clock begins to breathe once more As I step through a different door
