[Verse 1] I lit the night when I should’ve stayed clear, Chasing clouds while my duties wait here. A weight in my chest, the guilt settles in, I know I can rise, but I stumble again. [Pre-Chorus] Every time the pressure grows, I reach for the flame, But the cycle repeats, and it feels the same. [Chorus] I wasn’t thinking, I slipped from the plan, Now I’m left holding more than I can stand. I’ve got the strength to make it right, But I lost myself in smoke tonight. [Verse 2] It brings me sparks, ideas that ignite, Bright little comets streaking the night. But even brilliance burns out too fast, And leaves me with shadows that won’t let me pass. [Pre-Chorus] Every time the storm rolls in, I follow that haze, But I know deep down, it’s a dangerous maze. [Chorus] I wasn’t thinking, I slipped from the plan, Now I’m left holding more than I can stand. I’ve got the strength to make it right, But I lost myself in smoke tonight. [Bridge] Highs can whisper, “You’re free, you can fly,” But they fade with the morning, leave dust in the sky. I’m stronger than this, I know who I am, A builder, a dreamer, with steady hands. [Final Chorus] I wasn’t thinking, I strayed from the fight, But I still believe I can set it right. Through the ashes, I’ll find my light, And rise again from smoke tonight.
