Lyrics
Prologue – Spoken (Narrator, cinematic tone over ambient wind and distorted echo)
> “Some roads never forget.
Some lovers never forgive.
And when memory crashes into flame…
only the ghost with the stronger heart survives.”
---
Verse I – Papa Midnight (growled, low and slow)
You rode like a flame through my rusted mind,
Twisted the map I left behind.
Lips like a detour, hips like a gun—
I chased you through dusk, I bled in your sun.
---
Pre-Chorus – KaThighthrustrophina (soft, pop-ballad harmony)
I was never just your fire to tame,
You left me wrecked with your shadowed name.
If pain’s the price of love’s return,
Then let it burn... let it burn...
---
Chorus – Both (duet: harsh growls and pop vocals blend)
KaThigh (sings):
Tell me why you haunt my flame,
Papa (growls):
Because regret still calls your name!
KaThigh:
You left me screaming in the rain—
Papa:
Now I'm the storm inside your brain!
Both:
Burn the memory, love the flame—
We die reborn, we heal the pain.
---
Verse II – KaThighthrustrophina (stronger, bittersweet tone)
You ran from the wreck you made of me,
Left my heart beneath debris.
But I rebuilt in backseat screams,
Kissed goodbye to our machine.
---
Verse III – Papa Midnight (more brutal, double-time growls)
I wrecked each chance, I floored the curse—
Drove headfirst into something worse.
But in your moan, I heard the key—
No mercy left… but symmetry.
---
Bridge – Spoken Breakdown over blues-metal riff, echoing delay
> “This road was love. This wheel was fate.
She left her flame inside my brake.
I screamed her name through smoking gears…
And all I got was shifting years.”
---
Breakdown – Instrumental with Dream Theater-style solo meets Dethklok riffage
(A fusion of haunting lead lines, brutal drops, and cinematic doom textures—pacing picks up, fire FX rise)
---
Final Chorus – Full voice + chorus + growls
KaThigh (lead vocals):
Burn the memory, love the flame,
You broke me deep, then called my name.
Papa (growling beneath):
I rode through guilt, I drove through shame,
Twins of ruin, back in the game!
Choir:
We crash again, but this time stay—
Ashes bloom where lovers lay…
---
Outro – Soft instrumental fade, acoustic echo + ambient distortion
KaThighthrustrophina (whispered):
"I never wanted to survive you.
I wanted to feel you…
again and again."
