Lyrics

Bridges burnt before they built, now wanderin' this path alone, yep Shoulda lit up the dark with truth, not leave it unknown, no Days pass by, your name's a whisper that's thrown, uh In the air, lingerin' like a ghost, in my high tone, uh Had these thoughts on lock, but expression's on loan, uh Shattered silence my canvas, regrets I should've overthrown, uh [Pre-Chorus] Stuck on mute, the void echoes, missed the signs, no hindsight Had the truth at my fingertips, couldn't bring it to the limelight Life's tapestry, weavin' words unsaid, lost the thread, the deadweight Missed verses of our song, now sittin' in the cold, too late. Late nights, thoughts race, mind's in a high speed chase, ah Replayin' words, could fill arenas with that empty space, ah Didn't speak love, now the silence echoes like a base, ah Ghosts of my pride, haunting, can't let this pain go to waste, ah Unvoiced feels, now they heavy, wear 'em like a chain, uh Lessons learned, should've poured out, like a fierce rain, uh Regret clings tighter than the beat on this refrain, uh Time's moved on, but these words unsaid, they still remain, uh Mornings come, heart beats drums, echoes of the night, uh In my head, replay the things I never did quite right, uh Missed my shot, my voice locked, trapped in my own fright, uh Words unspoken, now they're tokens, of a silent fight, uh [Chorus] And I can't shake, no, I can't break these chains of silence, uh Shadows talk in the walk of my daily guidance, uh Echoes haunt with the taunt of the words in absence, uh It's a dance with regret and a hard compliance, uh Walls close in, deep breaths, feelin' that tightness, yeah Gotta face the music, confront the high stress, yeah Rap game chess, but my queen's in silence, checkmate Pokerfaced past, bettin' on a blank slate Played it cool, too cool, forgot to express, yup Eyes like the moon, but inside just a hot mess, yup Gotta spill truth like ink on a white shirt Regrets tattooed, can't erase that slight hurt [Pre-Chorus] Tickin' time, just hopin' for a rewind Lips locked, missed talks, gotta realign Life's symphony, played on, missing your melody, I write bars, lookin' back, wishin' for telepathy. Truth's a currency, I was bankrupt, emotionally, Should've dropped them lines, like stars in the sky, openly. Writin' soliloquies for the love that couldn't be, My voice, a ghost town, where your echoes haunt persistently. Had rhymes in my pocket, but they never made history, Could've built us a bridge but lost in the mystery, huh. [Chorus] So I drop the beat, confess defeat with every tempo, Haunted by the lyrics that my heart just couldn't let go. Time's wheel turns, seasons changed, feelings locked in frost, yeah Path walks different, but thinkin' of what our silence cost, yeah [Verse 3] We was in the same book, but never the same page, nope Silent voices in my head, now screaming out from their cage, yup Thoughts that never took flight, caged birds inside my mind, mmm Missed connections, misdirections, love left unsigned, yeah Wanna shout out, let it all spill, turn back and rewind But the hourglass dropped its last grain, what's left behind? [Pre-Chorus] Days tick by, rhythm's lost, silence became our bond Harmony we could've made, just faded and now it's gone
