Tempel

Lyrics

[INTRO / heavy, breathy] ...woo...woo..yeah I have a temple, I have a temple? I have a temple… Hidden beneath the ashes of my soul… A discreet sanctuary… I walk alone… facing the clamor, the law of blaming voices… Far from this nervous world… that confuses strength with drama. [VERSE 1 – brutal, stinging] As a child… I tasted bitterness… Carried burdens heavy as the mist… of sleepless nights that consume, I drank the poison in small sips… Never spat it out… it wasn't meant to kill me… I was born in fire and icy cold… I didn't know childhood… Not the tender kind… not the dancing… I grew up too fast… In a setting too heavy… Too dry for love… Too harsh for the days… I camouflaged my flaws… Made people believe I was okay… They thought I was strong… Because they never saw me fall… They thought I was stable… Because I hid the rain… But inside…it’s hell Between my demons, there's a war… Ruins… flaws… [CHORUS] I have a temple, a sanctuary of steel, Built from shattered promises that never heal. I whisper to the walls, a prayer that feels so real, In the silence, I find the truth I cannot steal. [VERSE 2 – echoing pain] The world throws its judgment like a hail of steel, I dodge, I shield, but the scars keep revealing. Cold winds cut deeper than the winter night, I breathe in the darkness, my heart beats in spite. Every step I take is a battle to survive, I cling to the hope that I might finally arrive. In the mirror, I see a stranger's face, A warrior broken, trying to find grace. [CHORUS] I have a temple, a sanctuary of steel, Built from shattered promises that never heal. I whisper to the walls, a prayer that feels so real, In the silence, I find the truth I cannot steal. [BRIDGE – raw confession] The fire inside me still burns, The cold outside, a constant
