Hopscotch

[Verse 1] Chalk lines drawn on cracked stone paths, A child's game in the shadows cast. We hop from square to shadowed square, One false step, and the abyss stares. Life's a grid of heaven and hell, Where angels fall and demons dwell. Intuitive rules etched in our souls, No book to read, yet we all know. The boundaries hum with ancient lore, Cross them once, and you're no more. [Chorus] One, two, watch your stride, Three, four, the darkness hides. Five, six, pick your fate, Seven, eight, it's never too late. Nine, ten, begin again, In this dance of joy and pain. Hopscotch through the veil so thin, Where every leap could be your sin. [Verse 2] We toss the stone, it lands askew, Fate's cruel joke on me and you. Regrets like pebbles, scattered wide, We balance on the great divide. Heaven whispers, hell pulls near, The rules we feel, crystal clear. No teacher taught, no sermon preached, Yet in our blood, the lessons reached. One wrong turn in the midnight game, And echoes call your forgotten name. [Chorus] One, two, watch your stride, Three, four, the darkness hides. Five, six, pick your fate, Seven, eight, it's never too late. Nine, ten, begin again, In this dance of joy and pain. Hopscotch through the veil so thin, Where every leap could be your sin. [Bridge] In the twilight, the lines start to blur, What was solid now stirs and stirs. We chase the sky, but graze the fire, Bound by instincts, fueled by desire. No escape from the eternal play, Heaven and Hell, night into day. [Chorus] One, two, watch your stride, Three, four, the darkness hides. Five, six, pick your fate, Seven, eight, it's never too late. Nine, ten, begin again, In this dance of joy and pain. Hopscotch through the veil so thin, Where every leap could be your sin. [Outro] Fade to chalk dust in the rain, Hopscotch calls... play again.
