Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I walked through ash and neon lights, a ghost with open hands,

City screamed like rusted steel, lovers burning sand.

Promises like cigarette smoke, they curl and disappear,

I tasted trust and learned the cost — the aftertaste is fear.

(Pre-Chorus)

Static in my blood, a heartbeat like a drum,

You wanted to be tethered — I watched the kingdom come undone.

I tried to hold the thunder, but the thunder breaks the chains,

Now silence tastes like victory and echoes in my veins.

(Chorus)

Better alone — I carve my name on the stone,

Build a throne from broken glass, sit high, sit cold.

Better alone — your shadow can't climb up here,

I breathe fire, I am the silence that you fear.

(Verse 2)

Your words were velvet knives that turned to iron lead,

Every kiss a ledger closing chapters in my head.

We danced on fragile wire until the night gave in,

You begged me for tomorrow — I let the sunrise win.

(Pre-Chorus)

I cut the last connection, watched the leash go slack,

No puppet on my chest, no liar on my back.

I keep the moon for company and the highway for a friend,

The road knows where I’m headed and it doesn’t need an end.

(Chorus)

Better alone — I carve my name on the stone,

Build a throne from broken glass, sit high, sit cold.

Better alone — your shadow can't climb up here,

I breathe fire, I am the silence that you fear.

(Bridge — slow, post-rock swell)

(Hear it rising) — a thousand quiet footsteps on the floor,

The walls remember faces but they don’t remember war.

I’m not running from the dark — I made the dark my home,

Better to hold a candle than to drown in someone else’s glow.

(Guitar solo — jagged, screams into the night)

(Breakdown — heavy, deliberate)

I’ll break the mirror rather than see you in my face,

I’ll light the city alley to erase your little trace.

You wanted me dependent, a soft and steady hand,

I traded chains for thunder — now I rule this land.

(Chorus — doubled, full band)

Better alone — I carve my name on the stone,

Build a throne from broken glass, sit high, sit cold.

Better alone — your shadow can't climb up here,

I breathe fire, I am the silence that you fear.

(Outro — post-rock fade)

So leave your roses at the gate, your reasons on the lawn,

I’ll keep the night and I’ll keep the scars until the dawn.

Better alone — it’s not a sentence, it’s a crown,

I lose the weight, I burn the rope, I tear the city down.

(Last line — whispered, lingering)

Better alone — and I’m never coming down.
