Still Here

[Verse 1] Woke up to the rain on the same cracked pane Same coffee stain on the counter again Headed out the door, same old concrete Just another soul in the city's heartbeat [Pre-Chorus] But the lights turned red a second too late Tires locked up, I braced for my fate Should’ve been over in a shatter of bone Instead I’m standing here, completely alone [Chorus] I’m still breathing when the story should end Still walking these streets that time won’t defend Through every close call, every final breath The universe blinks and I cheat my own death No end in sight… just this loop in the night [Verse 2] Decades roll by like credits on a screen Faces I loved turn to ghosts in between I don’t age a day while the world grows old Watching the future turn to rust and cold [Pre-Chorus 2] Tried to end it once beneath the neon glow But the blade went through and the blood didn’t flow Woke up the next morning with the same empty bed The void keeps rejecting the life that I led [Chorus] I’m still here when everything fades away Still trapped in this flesh at the end of the day No reaper, no peace, just the endless parade Of moments that die while I never decay [Bridge] It started like luck, a gift wrapped in pain But now it’s a curse with no one left to blame The good times are echoes in a hollowed-out chest A meaningless march through an infinite rest [Final Chorus – fragmented, rising] Still here… Still here… When the last light dies and the silence is near I’m still here… In this lonely frontier No end in sight… Just the weight of forever… [Outro – chopped & dissolving] Drifting through branches… That never sever… A soul in the static… Awake… forever…
