The Dream You Couldn't Kill

A dream too big for your reality
But here I am
Still burning in the silence you left

I wasn't your apprentice
I was your mirror
Showing you the truth you were too weak to face

I stayed in the shadows
Not because I was small
But you forgot

Dreams don't die
They transform

Basic dawn and shades of gray
I wore a paint like second skin
Spoke your name to light's worn thin
But shadows teach what light conceals
And now I know what truth reveals

You try to silence the flame I am
Drown the stars
But you can't kill what destinies

From neon ash and sleeveless skies
You lost a spark you couldn't feel
I am the dream you couldn't kill

Now I've outgrown your paved but cage
You fed me lies like lullabies
But I woke up through your disguise

Now every beat inside this chest
Is one step closer to what's next

You tried to silence the flame I am
Drowned the stars, erased the blend
But you can't kill what dares to rise

From neon ash and sleepless skies
You lost the spark you couldn't

Born from nights you threw away
I became what you couldn't stay
You lost the spark you couldn't feel

I am the dream
You couldn't kill
