Lyrics

Ugh it started slow a flicker a spark
Then grew to a flame that consumed the dark
The dragon whispered Come take the ride
And I followed the smoke where shadows hide
First hit felt like wings I was floatin' high
But every chase left me closer to the sky's lie
The climb's an illusion the fall's the truth
A cycle of pain that I never outgrew
Each breath was borrowed each vein a map
To a treasure that buried me under the trap
The dragon smiled teeth sharp as sin
Promisin' peace but pullin' me in
Eyes like fire scales that gleam
I sold my soul for a fleeting dream
A ghost of myself I lived in the haze
Dancin' with death in a smokey maze
The dragon's a liar a thief in disguise
Feeding me dreams while it devours my cries
Each hit was a promise it never kept
Each night a void where my demons slept
I was the puppet strings tied to flames
Dancin' for a high but I never knew the game
Every vein a canvas painted with scars
A constellation of wounds that darkened my stars
I told myself One more and I'll stop
But the dragon would laugh as the needle dropped
My reflection cracked couldn't face my ghost
Livin' in the shell of what I needed most
It's a battle I fought with a losing hand
Every win was a loss I couldn't withstand
The dragon stayed close a shadow that clung
A song of destruction I constantly sung
I chased the flame I inhaled the fire
But it only consumed my every desire
It's a race with no end a road with no light
A love that destroys a thief in the night
The dragon's a beast you can never tame
A dealer of sorrow disguised as a flame
I broke my wings to escape its grasp
But it left me hollow a shattered past
Chasin' the dragon lost in the flames
Caught in the fire shackled by chains
Each step forward just pulls me back
The higher I climb the deeper the crack
Chasin' the dragon I'm lost in the sky
The wings I built crumble I don't know why
Breathin' fire but the burn won't fade
I'm the prisoner and the price I've paid
I saw the dragon's eyes they mirrored my own
A reflection of pain I had never known
It's fire burned brighter the closer I came
An endless hunger that fueled my shame
I tried to let go to escape its grip
But every step back felt like a sinking ship
It whispered my name in the dead of night
Promisin' freedom but stealin' my light
But the dragon ain't invincible it bleeds too
It's scales crack under truths you knew
It's a beast of the mind a phantom in form
A tempest of lies disguised as a storm
I found the strength to let it go
To bury the dragon in the ashes below
I still see the scars but they're maps to survive
Proof that even in fire you can thrive
