The Engine of My Soul

Verse 1

The world keeps counting debts I never made,
Every day's consumed by endless flame.
I tear the air with broken ribs unafraid,
Steel has filled my mind, my heart's no longer tame.

I rise above their cold and lifeless eyes,
Growing into something fierce and wild.
On the barricades I'm standing, I survive,
Not shattered—only bleeding all this while.

Chorus

My roads will never crumble, never break,
Forged through fire, tempered deep in pain.
Every wall I'll cross, whatever it may take,
Darkness won't be breathing down again.

Hear my fear crack open from inside,
Every breath defies the crushing weight.
I won't turn a silent cog that hides,
Though the world demands that be my fate.

Verse 2

Like an engine built to blow apart, I run,
Years have pulled my veins until they strain.
Every loss I've swept away, each broken one,
Now they're armor forged from all my pain.

I'm no picture someone else designed,
Not a silent creature lost in night.
I will feast upon the scars I've left behind,
Raise my soul to destiny's hard fight.

Chorus

My roads will never crumble, never break,
Forged through fire, tempered deep in pain.
Every wall I'll cross, whatever it may take,
Darkness won't be breathing down again.

Hear my fear crack open from inside,
Every breath defies the crushing weight.
I won't turn a silent cog that hides,
Though the world demands that be my fate.
