[Verse 1 — Male Vocal 2] You’ve been walking like a ghost through the places we knew, Every shadow on the street feels like it’s reaching for you. You keep saying you’re fine, but I hear the cracks in your breath— And I know that kind of silence; it’s the kind that leads to death. [Pre-Chorus — Male Vocal 1] I’ve seen you fight harder than men twice your size, So why’s the war inside you the one you can’t survive? [Chorus — Both] Better men don’t break, or so they say— But I’ve watched storms turn iron into clay. If I lose you now, tell me who I blame— The world, the past, or the weight of your name? We were two against the dark we had to face— Tell me, brother… what if better men still break? [Verse 2 — Male Vocal 1] Do you remember those nights where the hunger ran deep? When we guarded each other just to get some sleep? Back alley saints—yeah, we swore to stand tall, But saints can fall harder when the world wants it all. [Pre-Chorus — Male Vocal 2] We learned to bleed quietly, hide every bruise— But I see the truths you’re dying to lose. [Chorus — Both] Better men don’t break, or so they say— But I’ve watched storms turn iron into clay. If I lose you now, tell me who I blame— The world, the past, or the weight of your name? We were two against the dark we had to face— Tell me, brother… what if better men still break? [Bridge — Both] If you’re slipping, I’m here—just reach for me, We can shoulder the weight we swore we’d never see. We were carved out of dust, built on bruises and trust, And I won’t lose you now—not when the world wants us crushed. [Final Chorus — Both, with emotional lift] Better men don’t break, or so they claim— But I’ve seen truth set fire to the bravest name. If you’re fading now, I’ll step into the flame— Brother, hold on; I’m still calling your name. We were two against the dark we had to face— And even saints fall… but we rise from that place. [Outro — Whispered callback to Act I] Back alley saints, carved out of dust… Don’t forget—your brother is still enough.
