[Intro – Low Strings / Wind Through Ruins] Footsteps again… Still five in the ash. I warned you once. This bond won’t last. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Sharp, Controlled Rap] Three days walking through fracture and flame You keep your distance but you stay in range Scout on the rooftops, mage in the rear Tank keeps watching like I might disappear You move disciplined — I’ll give you that Not dead weight. Not falling flat. When the wraith-pack rushed from the hollowed train You didn’t freeze when it snapped its chain I cut left — you covered right No words spoken — clean and tight Like you’ve fought beside me before That shouldn’t feel… natural. ⸻ [Chorus 1 – Hard / Defensive] I DON’T SHARE BATTLES I DON’T SHARE WAR You swing your blade But I’ve seen worse before DON’T READ MY MOVES DON’T MATCH MY STRIDE This isn’t teamwork— Just coincidence aligned ⸻ [Verse 2 – Faster / Rising Intensity] Ambush at dusk in a broken cathedral Ceiling collapsed like judgmental people Arrows rain down — I pivot and fire Gunblade flash like a struck live wire Healer chants — green light burst Patch on my ribs before I curse I didn’t ask. I didn’t bleed out loud. Still you moved through smoke and shroud. Why? You don’t hesitate when shadows press You guard my blindside — no second guess When the brute came swinging wide— You were already at my side. This isn’t random. This is rhythm. ⸻ [Chorus 2 – Louder / Frustrated] I DON’T NEED COVER I DON’T NEED CALLS Stop watching my back Like I’m meant to fall DON’T SYNC YOUR BREATH DON’T LEARN MY TELL I survive alone— And I do it well ⸻ [Bridge – Breakdown / Half-Time Pulse] But when the smoke cleared… You were still standing. No fear in your eyes. No demand in your hands. Just a nod— Like this was the plan. The wolf didn’t growl. It walked between us. Not guarding. Not warning. Just… calm. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Internal Crack] I’ve buried allies beneath red skies Watched trust turn into battle cries Every name carved into flame Every bond just ash and blame So don’t look at me like I’m worth that cost. Don’t stake your life on a coin that’s lost. If you fall because you stayed— That blood is mine. That debt is paid. Walk away. They didn’t. ⸻ [Chorus 3 – Armor Fracturing] I DON’T BUILD PACKS I DON’T BUILD HOME Everything close to me Turns to bone …So why do you stand When I push you back? Why do your footsteps Stay on my track? This isn’t fate. This isn’t chance. It’s starting to feel like… A stance. ⸻ [Outro – Cinematic Choir Swell] Five shadows stretch in dying light. Not bonded. Not sworn. But no longer strangers.
