Still Breathing

Sirens dead, but the city screams. Footsteps echo where the lights used

to be. Clocks stop ticking somewhere last night. Blood on the

rain, losing the fight. No signal, no way home. Every shadow's not

alone. Count the shells, count the scars. Hope's a flicker, not a spark.

But I'm still breathing. Through the smoke and the light and the fear.

Still breathing. Every step says I'm not done here. They're closing in.

I hear the sound, but I won't fall, I won't go

down. I'm still breathing. And that's enough for now. Handshake loading the
