In the flicker of the dawn,
The shadows stretch and yawn,
Chasing dreams that flicker out,
Lost in whispers and in doubt.
The wildfire’s creeping fast,
Through the echoes of the past,
Burning bridges, burning chains,
Fury dancing in the rain.
Hollow laughter in the night,
Stolen moments, out of sight,
Clutching fragments like a stone,
Trying hard to find my home.
I remember every flame,
How it raged and how it changed,
A desire that won’t break free,
Every heartbeat calling me.
In the chaos, I will run,
Chased by ghosts, but I have none,
Through the ashes, I will rise,
Glimmers of a brighter sky.
So let the wildfire blaze away,
Let the chains fall where they may,
In the hollow of the sun,
I will find what I’ve begun.
As the dawn starts to unfurl,
I’ll escape this darkened world,
And in the light, I’ll stand alone,
Ready now to face the unknown.
In the flicker of the dawn,
A new chapter, I will spawn,
With every step, I’m breaking free,
Leaving chains behind with me.
