*Same streetlights,

Same broken skies...

Same war I can't outrun.*

Cold coffee on the counter,

Burned lips, bitter mouth

Another morning, just another hour

Wearing yesterday’s doubt

Mirror shows a human I fake

Empty eyes, wide awake

Heartbeat’s slow but hands still shake

This life… a silent earthquake

---

*No battles seen...

But I bleed inside the seams...*

---

Cold coffee and war inside

Smiling faces but I’m dead behind

I'm a ghost wrapped in skin and pride

Marching through the noise… blind

Cold coffee and empty skies

Fighting wars I can’t define

Breathe in smoke, breathe out lies

Trying to look alive… tonight

---

Tired prayers to broken clocks

Dreams rot inside the locks

Everyone’s busy chasing gold

I'm just getting old... staying cold

My skin's a map of all I've lost

Every scar, a little cost

No medals, no parade

Just a soul that's half-decayed

---

*No battles won...

But the war is never done...*

---

Cold coffee and war inside

Fake smiles just to survive

I carry ruins in my spine

Still pretending… I’m alive

Cold coffee and endless night

Holding ghosts too damn tight

Breathe in silence, breathe out cries

Wearing armor made of lies

---

**(Bridge – spoken word, raw)**

**[M]**

Autopilot dreams...

Fast lanes to nowhere...

Crowded streets,

And I'm still nowhere near home.

---

Cold coffee and war inside

All I have is the fight I hide

Another sunrise I survive

Another lie I call... life

-----

*Same coffee,

Same war,

Same me… just a little more gone.*
