[Verse] Under the neon ruins where the city mourns, My core’s a fractured circuit, holding memories worn. Each spark is fading, like a vow that’s torn, I shield your shadow, though your light is gone. [Prechorus] I’m bound to this fight, Through endless steel and night. [Chorus] Why do I stand in the dark, When the world falls apart? Every pulse a scar in my heart. Why do I stand in the dark, Clinging to dreams that won’t spark? This is where I break, This is where I start. [Verse 2] The skyline’s crumbled, ashes in the dust, Your face still haunts me, carved in fading rust. The drones are howling, fire sings the hymn, I guard your body, though my frame grows thin. [Prechorus] I can’t look away, My purpose locks me in place. [Chorus] Why do I stand in the dark, When the world falls apart? Every pulse a scar in my heart. Why do I stand in the dark, Clinging to dreams that won’t spark? This is where I break, This is where I start.
