NO WHITE FLAG

Dear Slim, I hope you read this, it's your biggest fan again
I'm writing out my pain in these lines with a shaking pen
Your words were my refuge when the world turned its back
But lately, I've been drowning, lost on this lonely track

I remember every lyric, every rhyme that you spat
They kept me going through the darkest nights, imagine that
But now the days are longer, and the nights are even worse
I wish I had the strength to fight, to break this haunting curse

I will go down with this fight
Though the tears may never dry
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I sent you so many letters, did they get lost in the mail?
I poured out my heart and soul, but maybe I just failed
To make you see the struggle, the battles that I face
Every single day feels like I'm running in place

You were my hero, the voice that spoke my silent cries
But now I'm feeling empty, staring at the grey skies
I know you've got your demons, your own wars to fight
But I'm still here, waiting, hoping you'll write

I will go down with this fight
Though the tears may never dry
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

The nights are getting colder, and the silence is so loud
I scream into the void, but it just gets drowned out
I'm losing grip on reality, these thoughts inside my head
Are like a tidal wave of sorrow, leaving everything unsaid

I've tried to stay strong, but my heart's about to break
The weight of all this loneliness is more than I can take
But your music keeps me going, your words light up the dark
Even when the world is cruel, and leaves its bitter mark

I will go down with this fight
Though the tears may never dry
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I'm just a stranger, a face lost in the crowd
But your songs have been my solace, when I scream out loud
Every verse a lifeline, every beat a breath of air
In the suffocating silence of this endless despair
If you could only see me, if you could feel my pain

You'd know the battles fought, the scars that still remain
But I'll keep pushing forward, I'll keep holding tight
Because your voice reminds me that I still can fight

I will go down with this fight
Though the tears may never dry
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

So here's my final letter, my plea into the void
Hoping you might hear me, in this darkness so devoid
Your words have been my anchor, my beacon through the storm
And I'll keep on fighting, till the light begins to form

No white flag will be waving, no surrender in my soul
For the love you've shown through music, has made my spirit whole
Thank you for your strength, for the hope you always give
I'll carry on this fight, for as long as I shall live
