Paraffin

Faint light drags across the floor
I can't recall what came before
Every echo, every trace
Falls like ash, erased by days

Years have passed, but nothing's clear
I still taste the failure here
All the faces, all the names
Fading faster, all the same

I won't forget, I won't let go
The weight we bear, the things we know
Through every wound, through every scar
We've carried this, it's who we are

I held my breath until I drowned
The silence screaming all around
But even broken, I still stand
A hollow frame, an empty hand

This is the end, but I still fight
Through fractured days and endless nights
I gave my blood, I gave my name
And nothing ever feels the same

I've been torn apart
I've been cast aside
Every truth I've known
Buried deep inside

I've been torn apart
I've been cast aside
Every truth I've known
Buried deep inside

I won't forget, I won't let go
The weight we bear, the things we know
Through every wound, through every scar
We've carried this, it's who we are

When the noise is gone, we'll still remain
Not the same, but marked by pain
Every fall, every flame
Led us here, we'll wear the name
