Crimson Slowburn – Della Onyx

Verse

Mirror's fogging up, but I don't look away

Sweat drips down my spine like paint

Six rounds in and my hands won't shake

I found the fire I couldn't fake

Chalk on my knuckles, iron in my chest

Counting every breath like it's a test

This ain't about the finish line

It's about the burn I choose each time

Pre-Chorus

How long can I hold this?

How far can I push this?

Watch me turn the pressure into gold

Chorus

I'm keeping this crimson slowburn

Steady like a heartbeat I can't unlearn

Ninety seconds, one more turn

This is how the strong get stronger

I'm keeping this crimson slowburn

Deep in my blood, watch it rise and churn

No shortcuts, just the lesson learned

I'm holding on a little longer

Verse

Bar's getting heavier, so am I

Ten more seconds, watch the clock defied

Every rep's a promise that I made at three

To the version I'm becoming, staring back at me

Legs are screaming but my mind stays clear

This is the sound of doubt disappear

I'm not chasing what the mirror shows

I'm building what the fire knows

Pre-Chorus

How long can I hold this?

How far can I push this?

Watch me turn the pressure into gold

Chorus

I'm keeping this crimson slowburn

Steady like a heartbeat I can't unlearn

Ninety seconds, one more turn

This is how the strong get stronger

I'm keeping this crimson slowburn

Deep in my blood, watch it rise and churn

No shortcuts, just the lesson learned

I'm holding on a little longer

Bridge

Every drop I bleed today

Is a debt the weak days couldn't pay

I'm not fighting for the applause

Just the fire underneath it all

Let it burn, let it stay

I'm not putting this flame away

Chorus

I'm keeping this crimson slowburn

Steady like a heartbeat I can't unlearn

Ninety seconds, one more turn

This is how the strong get stronger

I'm keeping this crimson slowburn

Deep in my blood, watch it rise and churn

No shortcuts, just the lesson learned

I'm holding on a little longer
