V6-WILD

(Chorus)
'Cause I started out chasing the ghost of my pain,
Thinking vengeance could wash away all of the stain.
But the night starts to break, and the water flows deep,
And we carry the promises we have to keep.
No, it's not about hiding or fueling the fire—
We’ve gotta rise higher and be something higher.

(Verse 2)
They see a terror, a cape in the gloom,
A vigilante heading straight for the doom.
We lock ourselves up in a cave of our own,
Thinking healing is something you carry alone.
Reading the clues of a broken-down town,
While the weight of our legacy drags us right down.

(Verse 3)
A puzzle is written in blood on the wall,
And we find out that everyone’s bound to fall.
The pillars we trusted are riddled with rot,
And we realize all of the battles we fought
Were just a reflection of anger and dread,
With all of the ghosts of the past in our head.

(Verse 4)
You look at yourself in the dark of the cowl,
Listening close to the predator's prowl.
And you learn that the rage isn't going to save
The souls that are sinking right into the grave.
It takes a much bigger heart just to guide,
When there's nowhere left for your sorrow to hide.

(Verse 5)
The city breaks open, the levees give way,
And the darkness is swallowed by dawn of the day.
Instead of a shadow that strikes with a blow,
We’re holding a flare so the lost ones can go.
Leading the way through the flood and the mud,
Proof of the strength in our bone and our blood.

(Verse 6)
So put down the anger, and open your eyes,
We all have the power to weather the skies.
You aren't defined by the night you were broke,
You’re the fire that rises right out of the smoke.
From the depth of the dark to the light we embrace,
We’re healing the world and rewriting our place.

(Verse 1) Rain falls hard on a neon-lit street, Where the cold pavement ends and the shadows meet. Two years in, and I’m drowning in grief, Looking for monsters to bring me relief. I step from the dark with a scowl on my face, A ghost trying hard to make sense of this place. (Chorus) 'Cause I started out chasing the ghost of my pain, Thinking vengeance could wash away all of the stain. But the night starts to break, and the water flows deep, And we carry the promises we have to keep. No, it's not about hiding or fueling the fire— We’ve gotta rise higher and be something higher.
