Dueted Nights

Oooo— feel the biting winds
Ahhhh— let the chill set in
Oooh— I’ve been left to waste
Oooh— silence fills my place
Held my breath for too long again
Frigid air seems to cut my skin
No sound, no sign, just the static within
Clenched jaw, white knuckles—I'm wearing thin
Broken promises and a shattered dream
Every heartbeat echoes a haunted sound
We rise from ash but we're stuck in the mud
Deeds left undone, don't breathe in
I was nothing they could name
Wore the fault and took the blame
Came from nothing, shaped by doubt
Still here when the lights burn out
I woke up
In a war I never chose
With their wires
Wrapped around my bones
Every order feels the same
No one of them say my name
I stood still as they stole control
Felt the weight of my own soul
Every scar became my code
Nothing ever felt like home
So I followed the ache back down below
I was nothing they could name
Wore the fault and took the blame
Came from nothing, shaped by doubt
Still here when the lights burn out
