Verse 1 I inked my name on a paper I never read Set fire to the page and bowed to the smoke. My hands still smell like ash. I told her I was fine. She believed me. And that’s how I knew she wasn’t. Chorus 🎶 Red thread, black ink I bleed, I think No blade, no name But I still wear the shame Red thread, black ink No god, no drink Just wind on stone And the sound of me alone 🎶 Verse 2 She tied a ribbon to my wrist — Said: “This way, we never get lost.” But the knot was for her. I just pulled till it snapped. And the silence came back like an oath I never took. Bridge I could’ve stayed. But names were heavy like armor I never earned. So I walked barefoot into the temple of her doubt. Final Chorus 🎶 Red thread, black ink I drown, I sink No path, no light Just one more fight Red thread, black ink I break, I blink But I still kneel in what I feel 🎶 Outro I lost the thread. But maybe that’s how the story begins.
