[Intro] [Soft humming] [Verse-1] She fled through shadows, fires on her breath, Her coat caught lamplight, her footsteps like theft. I walked behind, no voice in my throat, A promise not spoken, but tangled in smoke. [Verse-2] The rivers were watching, the windows all blind, She fled from a name, she had buried in mine. And I held her silence like frost in my hand, Waiting to shatter, too soft to withstand. [Soft humming] [Verse-3] The shadows were longer; she crossed the square, And one of them lingered—just quietly there. A flicker, a figure no mirror would show, The part that she feared, and refused to know. [Verse-4] There’s monsters in quiet, in gestures, in grace— Not just in the dark or the scars on a face. Some follow behind you without making sound, And tear you to pieces where none gather ’round. [Soft humming] [Verse-5] She didn’t look back when the clocktower moaned, I let her keep walking, I let her alone. And if she forgets me, well, let it be — But I’ll still be the shadow She didn’t see. [Soft humming] [Outro]
