COLD FLAME

INTRO

Yeah… (yeah)

Cold flame… (cold flame)

Uh

Death kept dancing round me like it know my name (know my name)

Still breathing through the smoke like “motherfuck the grave” (still here)

🌌 HOOK

Cold flame — death keep dancing round me (round me)

Cold hands on my chest but the grave still doubt me (still here)

Cold flame — whole world feel haunted (haunted)

Love turn dark once the pain get involved in it (facts)

Cold flame — nights got teeth where I’m standing (bite down)

Every wound still burning underneath these bandages (underneath)

Cold flame — death keep calling me family (family)

Still breathing somehow through the smoke and insanity (still breathing)

⚔️ VERSE 1

Air feel cursed when the reaper creep nearby (nearby)

Street lamps flicker while that black smoke choke the sky (goddamn)

Some mfs smile good while they soul look rotten (rotten)

Some carry hell so long that shit become they posture (facts)

Ashtray full, dirty sink, pistol near the charger (loaded)

Pain don’t leave for real — it just hit a little harder (harder)

Death kept lurking round the edges trying to get familiar (too close)

Meanwhile the chest still jumping like “fuck surrender” (never)

Most these dudes fold quick once life quit playing fair (they soft)

That fake glow disappear when destruction hit the air (gone quick)

Every bruise lit up once the dark got thicker (wicked)

Now the aura cold as fuck but the pulse still bigger (still beating)

People swear they living whole till grief split the center (split it)

Somebody gotta carry the weight — might as well enter (walk in)

⚔️ VERSE 2

Death got close enough to smell through the sweat on my hoodie (too close)

Meanwhile everybody judging pain they never stood in (facts)

Some mfs break apart trying to carry everybody baggage (break down)

That’s why distance get respected more than fake attachment (nah)

The reaper kept watching every reckless decision (watching)

Every dark-ass room started feeding bad visions (bad visions)

Still turned every fucked-up feeling into something cinematic (cinematic)

Somebody somewhere barely hanging onto they sanity (hold on)

Smiling in public while internally collapsing (real shit)

That’s why these words hit different — this ain’t performance (nah)

This that late-night chest pain mixed with endurance (endurance)

Death ain’t always bullets, sometimes it’s addiction (facts)

Sometimes it’s losing yourself inside everybody expectations (pressure)

Sometimes it’s fake love draining blood from your spirit (drained)

Till the mirror look unfamiliar every time you get near it (mirror)

Now the voice sound darker every time it travel (darker)

Like the soul and the grave still locked in battle (still fighting)

🌌 BRIDGE

Cold touch… (cold touch)

Cold lungs… (cold lungs)

Still standing through the ash and the blood (still here)

Cold nights… (cold nights)

No trust… (nah)

Death fell in love with the way I don’t run (don’t run)

⚔️ VERSE 3

Black clouds hanging low over corner store lights (store lights)

Red eyes wide open through another long night (no sleep)

Some pain sip slow like cheap drank in a cracked cup (slow burn)

Some people walk alive but internally fucked up (fucked up)

Cold love leave damage deeper than drive-bys (deeper)

Fake peace fall apart once the drugs dry (facts)

Dark room, TV glow, demons getting louder (louder)

Like death two-stepping round unfinished trauma (unfinished)

Certain souls get stamped by the hell they crawled through (crawled through)

That’s why the voice cut darker every time it fall through (cut deep)

Ain’t no fear left where the grave feel familiar (none)

Once death know your face, life stop feeling regular (different)

Cold flame still burning where the hope got buried (still burning)

Like the night fell in love and said “you fucking with me” (for real)
