Sai's Lament

Not going to say much here.. The song speaks for itself.. A special thanks to two people for letting me use their characters... . : The Collective is still standing.. : . .: Lyrics:. {Spoken – Soft, almost feminine male vocals | faint British accent | whispered over distant piano and ambient static} “Let me count the ways…” “One… Communication dies when silence becomes easier than truth…” “Two… Blame is a blade passed from hand to hand…” “Three… Empathy fades… when comfort matters more than consequence…” “And maybe that’s the cruelest part… I still wanted to understand you… even while you were letting me go.” [Intro] You made your choice… And I made mine. Not out of anger— Not revenge— Just survival. The black wolf stayed silent in the shadows, While I read every word you left behind. Distance echoed louder than screaming ever could. And somehow… I finally understood. [Verse I] You pulled away before the wound could close, Built walls where there once were open roads. Made promises you never planned to keep, Then disappeared while I lost sleep. But fear not, weary heart of mine… The banshee still sings beneath moonlight skies. No longer hidden by a burning sun, No longer begging to be someone’s chosen one. The moon still rises without your name, And healing doesn’t erase the pain. The King of Void still guards the night, While I relearn how to survive the light. You hear my voice? This song is not revenge… It’s me learning how to breathe again. [Chorus] You made your point… Without a single word in sight. No communication— Just cold goodbyes in quiet nights. You pushed away the ones who cared, Ran back to hands that left you scarred. And still you asked us not to break The very promises you tore apart. Now chances fade… And bridges burn… But I won’t drown just because you turned. The gate is closed— Not out of hate… But because healing means walking away. [Verse II] The King of Dark still stands beside His queen of grace through storm-filled skies. And our little rabbit finally sleeps, Safe from the chaos that cut too deep. No more “run little rabbit, run…” Now it’s “rest your soul… the war is done.” I stand beside my wounded heart, Still bleeding— Still learning where the ending starts. You drove the stake straight through my chest, And I finally learned I deserved better than this. Do I blame him? No… Do I blame you? For making silence feel like love? Yes. You can keep your throne of hollow gold… But kingdoms built on guilt grow cold. And I refuse to freeze there with you anymore. [Breakdown] So I let the moonlight touch my scars… I let the darkness show me who we are… Not enemies. Not monsters. Just broken people Who stopped knowing how to hold each other gently. And maybe someday… You’ll understand the damage left behind. But I can’t stay here waiting For your apology to finally arrive. [Final Chorus] You made your point… And now I’m making mine. I choose peace over surviving your silence every night. No more begging for honesty, No more bleeding just to prove loyalty. You burned the bridge with your own hands, And I finally stopped trying to save it. The moon still glows… The banshee still sings… And even with this shattered heart— Healing has given me back my wings. [Outro] {Soft whispered vocals} “I loved you enough to stay…” “But finally… I love myself enough to leave.”
