Description
[Intro]
Low drum, a match struck in the dark
A wing beneath my ribs — a spark
[Verse 1]
I wake to the smell of burned denim, cigarette seams gone gray
Ash in the kitchen, coffee cup with a black crescent stain
My heartbeat like thunder — a wingbeat under my skin
Half a dragon stirs awake and learns my name
My pupils crawl like spilled ink, the mirror blinks away
I try to smile, my fingers tremble, the plaster on the wall is blistered clay
[Pre‑Chorus]
Something lifts—quiet, then louder
A breath that knows no pardon
I feel the folding, the coil, the power
[Chorus 1 — Hook]
My eyes go black, the sky goes red
Flame on my tongue, I can't come down
They see the smoke but not the thread
Patrick ducks, Esther reaches out but I burn the ground
[Verse 2]
They come into the room with water and a lullaby
Patrick's sleeve is singed — a charcoal stripe across his arm
Esther brings a trembling plate, her palm is already scarred
She presses softer than the pain, still tries to keep me warm
Scorch marks on the hallway where my anger walked alone
Photographs curled at the edges, a frame cracked near the phone
I give the ones I love my fire — it paints their skin with pain
They step back with soot on their shoes, their kindness can't contain
[Pre‑Chorus]
The wing unfurls like thunder, louder, getting closer
A low chorus in my throat; I lose the map I'd chosen
[Chorus 2 — Hook, Rising Image]
My eyes go black, the sky goes red
A comet in the corner of the room, a ribbon of regret
Patrick's jacket, a smear of ash, the coffee stains like threats
Esther's hand is warm and burned — she keeps on reaching yet
[Bridge — Moment of Clarity]
(Quiet, then build: distorted lead)
I touch the photograph—my mother's laugh in grainy light
I hear a child sing off-key, a lullaby that used to mend the night
For a breath I taste the old wood smoke, not just the beast's hot breath
A question like a razor: do I let it live, or let it take the rest?
[Guitar Break — raw, then raspier vocal]
[Bridge — Decision/Conflict]
If I fold my wings, will the embers die? Or will they choke me slow?
If I let it loose, will I give them wings, watch everything I love blow?
Esther's fingers blistered, still she tries to press a bandage on my soul
Patrick sets a glass of water by the bed — a cold home for a coal
[Chorus 3 — Hook, Payoff & Contrast]
My eyes go black, the sky goes red
I crash through dawn like thunder rolling, no heaven overhead
Patrick's sleeve is a charcoal thread, Esther's hand is scarred but bled
But in the ash by the windowsill, a green sprout pushes through the dead
[Outro — Ambiguous Resolve]
Dragon's breath in every hallway, I can't say who will win
Half beast, half me — the line grows thin
I let it roar, I let it sing, I learn the rhythm of the flame
Maybe I will wake tomorrow and call it by my name
(Last line, whispered, almost tender)
When the dragon wakes — maybe I will too.
