I stood on stone I swore was truth, But time erodes what we called proof. The weight I bore was mine alone, A crown of fault I made my own. I screamed to gods I don't believe, For answers buried deep in me. But silence met my every cry— No saints to save, no alibi. So tear me down to build me right, Through shattered days and sleepless nights. If truth is pain, then let me bleed, I’ll find rebirth in what I need. Dust and dominion—let them fall, I was never meant to have it all. I pray one day I'll get to see the sun, But first I'll pay for all the things I've done. Shadows crawl, unyielding, slow, A whispered hope I barely know. I grasp at ghosts I cannot see, A broken path that’s haunting me. I hide my face behind a veil of ashes, Hate now gone, transformed to madness. Sadness floods and drowns my mind, My sorrow won't be left behind. I screamed to gods I don't believe, For answers buried deep in me. But silence met my every cry— No saints to save, no alibi. So tear me down to build me right, Through shattered days and sleepless nights. If truth is pain, then let me bleed, I’ll find rebirth in what I need. Dust and dominion—let them fall, I was never meant to have it all. I pray one day I'll get to see the sun, But first I'll pay for all the things I've done. Ashes settle on broken ground, A whispered peace is what I’ve found. Though shadows linger, I won’t fall— Dust and dominion, I’ll face it all.
