Back in the days, no doubt in my mind Laughing with friends, tearing the night The shadow of sickness still far away Ground starts to crack but I miss the decay Gripping the light from days long gone Burning inside for a place I belong No looking back, I’m pushing ahead No road behind me, just forward instead Even with closed eyes, scars remain They’re carved into the person I became Time won’t rewind, I struggle each day And nothing now will never be the same I can’t go back to where I started The past is gone, the ties have parted Every step pulls me further away But I’m still breathing into the next day The weight I carry’s all I can keep Through endless nights when I can’t sleep No turning back, the line is crossed I’ll find my place, no matter the cost Voices of brothers fade in the wind Calling their names but silence comes in The lights of my home turn cold like stone Smiling outside while breaking alone Claws of the sickness carve in my chest Reality closing, nowhere to rest I stare at the road I can’t retrace Eyes to the front with fists in place The broken bridge can’t hold my weight The water's far too deep to cross again No slowing down, I push ahead I'll face the storm and stand against the wind I can’t go back to where I started The past is gone, the ties have parted Every step pulls me further away But I’m still breathing into the next day The weight I carry’s all I can keep Through endless nights when I can’t sleep No turning back, the line is crossed I’ll find my place, no matter the cost Break through the dark, chase the light Even if the light keeps running ahead Burning heart tearing the road I'll find my way before the day is dead Past every limit, life on fire I'll burn until the dark is gone Deep in the night I grab the light And rise again before the dawn I can’t go back to where I started The past is gone, the ties have parted Every step pulls me further away But I’m still breathing into the next day The weight I carry’s all I can keep Through endless nights when I can’t sleep No turning back, the line is crossed I’ll find my place, no matter the cost Days I can’t return to in my chest Walking forward toward the next sky This isn’t the end — it’s the start I won’t stop until the last breath
