Lyrics

[Intro – Gong strike, wind FX, whispered monk chants, guqin plucks, rising breath samples]

🎙️
Not perfect… but forged. Not clean… but real.
This ain’t no fairytale… it’s forged steel.
Right here. With you.

⸻

[Verse 1 – Low-tone cadence, bamboo flute stabs, bass guitar plucks building tension]

Sometimes life press on my neck like war
We bend, don’t break — we just roar
Stumbled in shadow, bled through stone
But you that voice that lead me home

You my peace when the world get loud
You my focus when I drown in doubt
In the fire, you kept my soul awake
In the chaos, you my great escape

⸻

[Beat Drop – 808 bass crash, kung fu percussion, FX vocal risers, erhu whip]

[Hook – Chant-style delivery with cinematic echo and layered vocal fx]

I don’t need no crown, no chain
I just need you, through the strain
No exit, no runnin’
I’m still breathin’, still comin’

Right here with you — sword in hand
We don’t fold, we take the stand
No gold, no games, no mask to wear
Just love. And the way you care

⸻

[Verse 2 – Faster delivery, guzheng riff under trap rolls, deep gong hits every fourth bar]

We got cracks in our mirror frame
But reflections still call your name
We ain’t flawless — we got scars
But you the fire behind my bars

Safe ain’t soft — it’s how you move
Silent strength in the way you prove
That even when I’m down, feelin’ hollow
Your love the war cry I follow

⸻

[Bridge – Whispered trap flow, slow guqin strums, FX delay on line ends]

Two spirits, learnin’ how to stay
Even when it hurts — we don’t stray
I choose you in the chaos loud
Even in silence, I feel proud

Thankful for the fight, the kiss, the cry
Thankful for the nights we didn’t say goodbye
Grateful for the way you still believe
You make even my demons want to leave

⸻

[Final Chorus – Halftime beat, monk chant FX, deep bass guitar, layered whisper harmonies]

I don’t run, I don’t flee
Still yours, even when it’s killin’ me
No mansion, no throne, no throne, no fuss
Just trust — just us

Right here with you, that’s my fate
Ain’t no riches that could equate
Right here with you, in all this flame
You the soul behind my name

⸻

[Outro – Guzheng solo fading, FX whispers echoing “Right here… with you…” in L/R channels, gong fade out like heartbeat]
