What’s this shadow trailing close behind?
A weightless echo pressing on my mind.
(Frozen here) Should I break or bend? (or bend)
Each step forward feels like the end.
Fragments of whispers, ghosts of the past,
Familiar faces through a shattered glass.
The lines they drew, I crossed without sound,
But the burden remained, heavy and bound.
No more hiding in the shade of shame,
No more blaming the mirror’s name.
(To the hands) That held me when I fell apart,
(To the eyes) That gave light when it all went dark.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
I’ll set the fire, let the shadows climb.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
Every piece of me burns for the climb.
That silent room, where voices became stone,
A fragile heart beating all alone.
Apologies spilled, but the ground wouldn’t take,
Their strength held steady for my mistakes.
Since that day, I’ve stitched the threads I tore,
Each knot a promise I can’t ignore.
They said, “괜찮아,” though cracks still showed,
A story of love they never let go.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
I’ll set the fire, let the shadows climb.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
Every piece of me burns for the climb.
I never saw the storm they kept inside,
Why now do I see their tears collide?
The weight they carried, a silent refrain,
In this room, their echoes remain.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
I’ll set the fire, let the shadows climb.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
Every piece of me burns for the climb.
I won’t fade away, no, not again,
The light is calling, I’ll reach the end.
I won’t fade away, no, not again,
Each step forward, I’ll never bend.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
I’ll set the fire, let the shadows climb.
I won’t fade into the night, not this time,
Every piece of me burns for the climb.
