The Contract

[Chorus 1]
Here comes the reckoning, I can feel the weight
Lessons carved in fire, no room to hesitate
Every choice and shadow, every truth and lie
I face them all tonight, beneath this open sky

[Verse 1]
Promises once broken, whispers in the hall
Echoes of decisions, reminders on the wall
I’ve walked these crooked paths, stumbled through the night
But every scar I carry now guides me to the light

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every wrong I’ve known, every step I’ve faked
Builds the mirror I see, the soul I’ve shaped

[Chorus 2]
Here comes the reckoning, I can feel the weight
Lessons carved in fire, no room to hesitate
Every choice and shadow, every truth and lie
I face them all tonight, beneath this open sky

[Verse 2]
Faces from my past, they whisper what I missed
Moments I’ve ignored, chances in the mist
But I won’t falter now, I claim my ground again
Primed with newfound knowledge, rising past the pain

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ve felt the pull of doubt, the sting of fleeting fear
Now I stand unwavering, the path ahead is clear

[Chorus 3]
Here comes the reckoning, I can feel the weight
Lessons carved in fire, no room to hesitate
Every choice and shadow, every truth and lie
I face them all tonight, beneath this open sky

[Bridge]
I wake up inside it — I’ve been here before
Not fear, but recognition, opening the door
These are the tests, the roads I chose to reach
Written long before tonight, the words I couldn’t read

[Guitar Solo – melodic, expressive, builds tension and release]

[Verse 3]
No more turning back, the past has shaped my hand
I walk with vision now, I finally understand
Each fracture, each mistake, forged the strength I hold
The contract comes alive — not cruel, just old

[Chorus 4 – Outro]
Here comes the reckoning, I can feel the weight
Lessons carved in fire, no room to hesitate
Every choice and shadow, every truth and lie
I face them all tonight, beneath this open sky
