Dust dances in the golden light
A gilded cage dressed up as night
Jasmine hangs with old regret
A whispered promise I can’t forget
I sold my soul for just one glance
A flash of fire, a stolen dance
The mirror shows what’s left of me
All the choices I can’t unsee
Rain falls on a nameless road
Echoes hum beneath the load
Broken vows I never lost
Still counting out the cost
These walls lean in, a silent plea
To break these chains and let me be
But darkness says, “Just stay the same”
This shelter’s built on a poisoned name
They gave me warmth, they pulled me close
A safe disguise I needed most
But underneath, the truth remains
Love like this still leaves a stain
Rain falls on a nameless road
Echoes hum beneath the load
Broken vows I never lost
Still counting out the cost
I’m tired of shadows, borrowed light
Painted smiles in dying nights
I want the rain across my skin
I want the truth to pull me in
We built our home on shifting sand
Same old scars, a steady hand
Caught inside a restless dream
Chasing what we used to be
