Echoes in the Fire

I set the match to my regrets,

Watched it burn but still felt cold.

You said I'd thank you someday—

But silence never gets old.

I gave you everything,

Now I'm just a ghost in your parade.

You wore my scars like trophies,

Left me buried in the blame.

You tore the light right out of me,

And smiled as I caved in—

But I’m still standing in the wreckage,

Screaming where you’ve been.

Now I’m done waiting for your sorry,

Done drowning in your doubt.

This pain became my anthem,

And I’m finally singing loud.

You built me just to break me,

But I rose up from the fall.

Your silence was the weapon—

But I survived it all.

I stitched my heart back tighter,

Threaded fire through every vein.

I found a voice beneath the ashes—

You can’t suffocate the flame.

You fed the dark inside me,

Now it’s eating through the chains.

I’m not your victim anymore—

I’m the fury that remains.

Now I’m done waiting for your sorry,

Done drowning in your doubt.

This pain became my anthem,

And I’m finally singing loud.

You built me just to break me,

But I rose up from the fall.

Your silence was the weapon—

But I survived it all.

This is for every time I begged,

For every word you choked—

You thought I’d fade in silence—

Now I’m the voice you can’t revoke!

Now I’m done waiting for your sorry,

Done drowning in your doubt.

This pain became my anthem,

And I’m finally singing loud.

You built me just to break me,

But I rose up from the fall—

I was your fading echo…

Now I’m your wake-up call.
