Verse 1:
Before the ink has dried on all my words,
I fear that shadows will consume my light.
Unwritten sonnets linger in my mind,
Like whispers of a dream I can't define.
Chorus:
When I have fears that I may cease to be,
I reach for stars that fade into the night.
I chase the echoes of my heartbeat's plea,
To carve my name in history's endless flight.
Verse 2:
With every breath, I paint my fleeting thoughts,
Each moment's canvas filled with colors bright.
But what remains when silence wraps my dreams,
And all that's left is darkness, void of light?
Chorus:
When I have fears that I may cease to be,
I reach for stars that fade into the night.
I chase the echoes of my heartbeat's plea,
To carve my name in history's endless flight.
Bridge:
Yet in the fear, I find the strength to rise,
To pen my soul before the final sighs.
For life, though brief, is filled with endless chance,
To weave my story in this sacred dance.
Chorus:
When I have fears that I may cease to be,
I reach for stars that fade into the night.
I chase the echoes of my heartbeat's plea,
To carve my name in history's endless flight.
Outro:
So let me love, let me dream, let me soar,
In every heartbeat lies the truth I seek.
For in the fear of fading, I find more,
A vibrant life, not silence, I shall speak.
