Based on Genesis 4 - I wander

[Verse 1]

Smoke on the altar, blood on the ground

You smiled through the silence, but I heard no sound

You took his offering, left mine to rot

I gave from the earth, and still I was forgot

[Pre-Chorus]

(Was I not enough?)

You spoke to him in fire

(Was I not enough?)

Now I'm drowning in the mire

[Chorus]

You rejected my fruit—wasn't it the same?

I reached for the light, but I burned in shame

Now the ground drinks deep of blame

And I wear this mark like flame
—
I'm the wound, I'm the weight, I'm the name

[Verse 2]

Fields go fallow where I tread

I'm a brother, I'm a curse, I'm the walking dead

No rest, no roots, just the echoes of dread

A wanderer sentenced by the words you said

[Breakdown]

Your silence—
(It screams louder than thunder!)

Your absence—
(A void I can’t plunder!)

He knelt in faith, I broke in pain

Still I built a city just to hide my name

[Bridge]

Am I my brother’s keeper?

Or just a soul growing weaker?

He knelt in faith, I stood in fire

But love was always the sacrifice You require

[Chorus]

You rejected my fruit—wasn't it the same?

I reached for the light, but I burned in shame

Now the ground drinks deep of blame

And I wear this mark like flame—

I'm the wound, I'm the weight, I'm the name

[Outro]

You marked me... but I still have this shame.

You spared me... but what do I have to gain?

(And still... I wander...)
