survivor of fire
by Evol Love
Lyrics
**Verse 1**
Concrete dreams under a sun that burns,
Modesto roads where the shadows turn.
Whispers of the past in the dust we breathe,
A life carved out in the cracks of the street.
Sirens hum like a lullaby,
Trading hope for a fleeting high.
The valley's grip, a heavy chain,
Every step a battle, every breath a pain.
**Chorus**
Oh, Modesto, you broke my spine,
A diamond in the rough, but the grind’s a crime.
I chose the storm, now I’m drowning in the rain,
Mental focus? A ghost that fades with the pain.
From the bottom of the bottle to the top of the hill,
I’m a ghost in the mirror, fighting for a thrill.
This town taught me how to fall,
But I’m still here, bleeding, chasing the call.
**Verse 2**
Pills in the pocket, smoke in the veins,
A symphony of chaos, no time to explain.
The police blotter’s a daily hymn,
Every face a warning, every grin a thin.
I built my world from the wreckage I knew,
A king of the ruins, but the crown’s made of glue.
The mirror shows a stranger’s eyes,
A war between the fire and the lies.
**Chorus**
Oh, Modesto, you broke my spine,
A diamond in the rough, but the grind’s a crime.
I chose the storm, now I’m drowning in the rain,
Mental focus? A ghost that fades with the pain.
From the bottom of the bottle to the top of the hill,
I’m a ghost in the mirror, fighting for a thrill.
This town taught me how to fall,
But I’m still here, bleeding, chasing the call.
**Bridge**
They say rise above, but the roots run deep,
A lifetime of shadows, no time to sleep.
The weight of the world in a cracked rearview,
I’m a survivor of the fire, but the ashes still grew.
I’ll carve my truth in the concrete and the pain,
A testament to the battles I’ve borne.
Modesto’s my wound, but it’s also my name.
Verse 1
Concrete veins of Modesto, where the dreams go to die,
Whispers of smoke in the midnight sky, shadows on the high.
Grew up on the edge of a neon lie,
Chasing shadows 'til the sirens screamed, "You’re running out of time."
Chorus
Lesson in life, drugs and crime,
Modesto’s a mirror, it shows you what’s inside.
Felt the weight of the chain, heard the jailhouse rhyme,
Now I’m paying the price for the life I tried to climb.
Verse 2
I sold my soul for a dollar, now I’m paying the price,
Bare knuckles and I roll the dice
do I go for it "all in" or suffer through it?
either way it's gonna be a hard fight just to live my life
struggle is real and I'm trying to keep what's important in sight
**Outro**
So here’s to the lost, the broken, the brave,
A song for the souls who never got saved.
In the heart of the valley, where the past is blurred and tomorrow is never assured
wise words are found but not always endure,dreams of fools are glamorized and lessons overlooked, conscious thoughts escape without a second look
And those around us are just to comfortable with doing nothing,feeling nothing,expecting everything and seeing what they want but not exactly what's in front
And they always be "frontin'"
Runnin' they mouths comin' up with ways to "come up"on "friends" and plottin' on family like it's the thing to do
Yeah we screwed!
If you only knew!
Maybe ai deserves this better then we do!?
**Verse 1**
Concrete dreams under a sun that burns,
Modesto roads where the shadows turn.
Whispers of the past in the dust we breathe,
A life carved out in the cracks of the street.
Sirens hum like a lullaby,
Trading hope for a fleeting high.
The valley's grip, a heavy chain,
Every step a battle, every breath a pain.
**Chorus**

A diamond in the rough, but the grind’s a crime.

**Bridge**
They say rise above, but the roots run deep,
A lifetime of shadows, no time to sleep.
The weight of the world in a cracked rearview,
I’m a survivor of the fire
how about you?
**Verse 1**
Concrete dreams under a sun that burns,
Modesto roads where the shadows turn.
Whispers of the past in the dust we breathe,
A life carved out in the cracks of the street.
