[Verse] Woke up late, the clock’s a thief, Keys are gone, just out of reach, Empty pockets, chasing ghosts, Boss called in, I’m dead to most. [Verse] Smoke curls up from burnt out dreams, Lost my edge and lost the means, Paperwork and one last chance, Fell through cracks in circumstance. [Pre-Chorus] Step by step, I’m slippin’ down, Quiet screams in this old town, But somewhere deep inside the noise, There’s a spark I’ve gotta voice. [Chorus] Hold on tight, don’t fade away, Lost the keys, lost my way, Lost my job and lost my cool, But I ain’t no one’s fool. Hold on tight, we’ll break these chains, Scratch the loss, burn the pain, In the ashes, hear the scream, We’re the kings of broken dreams. [Verse] Clock ticks loud, another day, Fighting shadows, time to stray, Patience cracked, the fuse unwinds, But fire’s born from worn-down minds. [Pre-Chorus] Step by step, I’m slippin’ down, Quiet screams in this old town, But somewhere deep inside the noise, There’s a spark I’ve gotta voice. [Chorus] Hold on tight, don’t fade away, Lost the keys, lost my way, Lost my job and lost my cool, But I ain’t no one’s fool. Hold on tight, we’ll break these chains, Scratch the loss, burn the pain, In the ashes, hear the scream, We’re the kings of broken dreams. [Bridge] We wear our scars like battle flags, Cracked and bruised but never dragged, Through the smoke and through the rain, We’ll rise up from the pain. [Chorus] Hold on tight, don’t fade away, Lost the keys, lost my way, Lost my job and lost my cool, But I ain’t no one’s fool. Hold on tight, we’ll break these chains, Scratch the loss, burn the pain, In the ashes, hear the scream, We’re the kings of broken dreams. [Outro] Lost, but never lost for good, We’re survivors, understood.
