Rain Ink Reflection

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I lace up my worn boots, the city hums below, A rusted streetlamp flickers, and the night is on the go. The weight of a forgotten promise sits on my shoulder, I’m chasing something that’s lighter than the metal in my pocket. [Pre‑Chorus] Every breath I take feels like a line in a ledger, The rhythm of my heart beats louder than the sirens. [Chorus] I’ve got that 9‑mm, but I’m not a weapon on the shelf, It’s the scar on my chest that’s the real story I’ll tell. When the world’s a battlefield and the past feels like debt, I’ll keep walking, keep living, let the fire in me reset. [Verse 2] Rain splashes like ink, painting the pavement a new shade, I stare at my reflection, a stranger in a familiar shade. The clock ticks louder than the echo of a gunshot, I’m learning that life’s not a straight line but a war we’ve all fought. [Pre‑Chorus] Each step is a gamble, each inhale a silent prayer, I’ll trade fear for kindness and leave the darkness in the air. [Chorus] I’ve got that 9‑mm, but I’m not a threat in the night, It’s the courage that I’ve forged in the fight. When the world’s a battlefield and my heart’s heavy with debt, I’ll keep walking, keep living, let the fire in me reset. [Bridge] In the hush before dawn, I hear a promise in the wind, A vow that my silence won’t be judged by what I’ve binned. The sunrise cracks the horizon, breaking every chain, I’ll turn the weight of pain into a memory that remains. [Chorus] I’ve got that 9‑mm, but I’m more than a shadow on a wall, It’s the hope that’s growing louder than any gun’s call. When the world’s a battlefield and the past feels like debt, I’ll keep walking, keep living, let the fire in me reset. [Outro] So I lay the gun down, step into the light again, Each stride a quiet victory, turning hurt into a friend.
