Verse 1:
Chasing ghosts in the dead of the night,
Swallowed whole by the pale moonlight.
Drinking deep from a hollow dream,
Sinking slow in a silent scream.
Pre-Chorus:
I feel the embers in my lungs,
I taste the venom on my tongue…
Do you see me?
Do you hear me now?
Chorus:
Screaming through the void, lost in the haze,
Falling faster, swallowed by the flames.
Jacob’s ladder calls my name,
But I’m too far gone to be saved.
Verse 2:
Torn apart by a love misplaced,
Knuckles bruised from the wars I waged.
I kissed the reaper, held his gaze,
One step closer, still enslaved.
Pre-Chorus:
I hear the echoes in my veins,
A requiem for all my shame…
Will you hold me?
Can you save me now?
Chorus:
Screaming through the void, lost in the haze,
Falling faster, swallowed by the flames.
Jacob’s ladder calls my name,
But I’m too far gone to be saved.
Bridge:
I was waiting for the fall…
I was waiting for the fire…
Oh, how it feels to let go…
Oh, how it feels to expire…
Breakdown:
Do I take the novocaine? To numb the pain!
Or do I carve my name in the rain?
Either way, I’m always one step…
One step closer to the grave.
Outro:
Shattered glass, a fractured fate…
Tell me, love, is it too late?
Watch the fire…
Let it take me in…
Let it burn me clean again…
