Copper Filament

[Verse 1]
The oil-stained concrete, a map of forgotten intent,
Where copper strings unravelled, and wild dreams were bent.
Beer cans like tarnished silver, catching dust on the floor,
A gilded memory, bolted to that broken door.

[Chorus]
This copper filament still hums inside my chest,
A nightshade heart's fierce bloom, put to the ultimate test.
Though time's hot wind may scour, and sand may blur the track,
The raw chord struck in darkness, it will always echo back.

[Verse 2]
The worn-out amps, like old gods, breathing static and dust,
A tapestry of silence, where all our fervent trust
Was spun from frayed indigo, by hands calloused and keen,
On that cracked paint stage, the grandest empire I'd seen.

[Bridge]
The truth, a thread of chartreuse silk, pulled taut but never torn,
From that crucible of sound, where our defiance was born.
No grander palace, no desert wind so stark,
Than that single bulb's bare gleam, carving light from the dark.

[Outro]
Each precious scar a filigree, spun from that weathered place,
The pulse of an old anthem, time cannot erase.
