Within these steel veins a barren landscape lies
No warmth remains just echoes and cold sighs
A fractured mirror reflects a stranger's gaze
Lost in the wreckage of lonely empty days
The city's pulse a distant mocking beat
A gathering of lives where mine can't meet
Each face a window to a world I can't possess
Aching for connection a touch a sweet caress
But in the static a faint transmission bleeds
A whispered promise on the wind that seeds
This barren field I'll till with calloused hand
And from the dust a fragile flower will expand
Though shadows crawl the sun will pierce the night
And from this wreckage bloom a beacon ever bright
Then in the hush a gaze that meets my own
A spark ignites a feeling yet unknown
A hesitant smile a bridge across the void
A kindred spirit stories to be deployed
The lonely night bathed in a gentle light
Two souls entwined no longer lost in night
A wicked smile a bridge across the void
A kindred spirit stories to be deployed
The lonely night bathed in a gentle light
Two souls entwined no longer lost in night
No longer bound by whispers in the night
I claim my voice and fill it with new light
The path ahead unfolds a map unfurled
With courage as my guide I face the world
This victory a testament of will
My heart once fearful now with hope I fill
