GranDilusionist - 20 Shots Lyrics

A boy in the shadows, framed by the haze
The circle tightens, their voices a blaze
The pavement kissed him, cold and cruel
A hammer of hatred, a playground duel
They counted loud as the moments fell
Twenty sharp echoes, a private hell
The cracks in the concrete caught his stare
Dreams scattered like dust in the heavy air
Twenty shots to the curb, they carved his name
Each blow a battle, each bruise a flame
Buried deep, the fire stayed small
But one day it roared, defying it all
Each day was a gauntlet, a war to survive
Words like daggers, faces contrived
Lockers slammed, whispers chased
Laughter exploded where shame was placed
Even the teachers turned their eyes
Casting him out with their mocking lies
The weight of silence, heavy as steel
Fueled the spark that refused to kneel
Twenty shots to the curb, they carved his name,
Each blow a battle, each bruise a flame.
Buried deep, the fire stayed small,
But one day it roared, defying it all.
He chased the stars that no one could see
Through nights that howled, "You'll never be free"
The weight fell away, the chains unwound
But scars like shadows still circle 'round
A soul of ambition, yet searching still
For peace in the echoes that time won't kill
Twenty shots to the curb, they carved his name
Each blow a battle, each bruise a flame.
Buried deep, the fire stayed small
But one day it roared, defying it all
Now he stands where the sun runs high
But the echoes of numbers still touch the sky
Twenty shots carved a legend from pain
A tale of survival through fire and rain
