Fires Beyond My Name (버전 2)

Verse 1

Cold steel door, my name erased from the lock

Four walls closing in but I still recall my block

Sixteen years old with a promise I couldn't keep

The system ate it whole while the streetlights just leaned in deep

Corner store light flickers out, then turns back blue

Same four men sitting there like they been waiting for you

I learned to count in shadows not in time or space

Learned to carry silence where a name used to be my face

Pre-Chorus

What if the only thing I'm hiding is myself?

What if the whole world already knows me well?

Chorus

Fires beyond my name, they burn so much brighter than mine

Nobody needs a name when you move like an undertow in time

Verse 2

City hall paperwork folded up like a test I never passed

Mom's letter caught fire on the stove, nothing left to erase

Bus station mirror don't know who I'm supposed to be

Every face that passes by forgets my surname before they see

The water tower hums above it all tonight

Same four men watching now but their shadows ain't holding back their light

I learned to trust in the quiet before the drum rolls loud

Learned every silence can grow a name of its own somehow

Pre-Chorus

What if the only thing I'm hiding is myself?

What if the whole world already knows me well?

Chorus

Fires beyond my name, they burn so much brighter than mine

Nobody needs a name when you move like an undertow in time

Bridge

Maybe my name was never what held me to this place

Maybe it was just the promise I gave it before its face

I erased my own handwriting from the wall above

Kept one word, kept only 'survive' – that's all that survives love

Chorus

Fires beyond my name, they burn so much brighter than mine

Nobody needs a name when you move like an undertow in time
