Verse 1
Yo, I’m sittin’ in this room, shadows dance on the wall,
Echoes of laughter, but now silence is all,
Used to dream of a future, built castles in the sky,
But now them dreams shattered, like glass when it lies.
Mom’s tearin’ up, dad’s lost in his fight,
Lookin’ at our family, man, it don’t feel right.
Used to run ‘round the block, feelin’ invincible,
Now it’s just a hollow shell, life’s so miserable.
Chorus
And I’m fightin’ through the pain, just to see another day,
But these memories haunt me, like ghosts that won’t fade away.
Heartbreak in my chest, can’t escape this regret,
Lookin’ for the answers, but I’m drownin’ in debt.
Verse 2
Every dollar spent, another tear on the floor,
Promised my little sister, I would always be more,
But the weight of the world, it’s crushin’ my soul,
Tryin’ to play the hero, but I’m losin’ control.
Friends turned to strangers, they don’t see the same,
Once we were the kings, now we’re playin’ a shame,
Faded pictures in my wallet, memories of us,
Now I’m grippin’ this mic, feelin’ lost in the dust.
Chorus
And I’m fightin’ through the pain, just to see another day,
But these memories haunt me, like ghosts that won’t fade away.
Heartbreak in my chest, can’t escape this regret,
Lookin’ for the answers, but I’m drownin’ in debt.
Bridge
Lost in the echoes, trapped in my mind,
Tryna find a way out, but the walls are all lined,
With whispers of the past, taunts of what could be,
It’s a lonely road walkin’, where’s the light I can’t see?
Verse 3
So I pen these words, let ‘em spill from my heart,
Like blood on a canvas, where the memories start,
For every fallen dream, for every tear that I’ve cried,
I’ll rise like a phoenix from the ashes inside.
Gotta break these chains, gotta find my own path,
While I’m searchin’ for peace, I’m just feelin’ the wrath.
But I’ll keep on fightin’, I won’t let it win,
‘Cause even in the darkness, I’m still searchin’ for a grin.
Chorus
And I’m fightin’ through the pain, just to see another day,
But these memories haunt me, like ghosts that won’t fade away.
Heartbreak in my chest, can’t escape this regret,
Lookin’ for the answers, but I’m drownin’ in debt.
Outro
So here’s to the struggle, to the battles we face,
I’ll keep writing my story, I’ll keep findin’ my place.
In a world full of heartache, I’ll rise from the wreck,
‘Cause the heart keeps beatin’, and I’ll earn my respect.
