[Verse 1] You are the silence after sound The hollow where the light falls down You are the space between the words The echo no one else has heard [Verse 2] You live in every fading flower In every shadow, every shore You are the weight I carry still The absence heavier than before [Chorus] You never left You never go You are the dark I've come to know You never left You fill the cold A ghost I made From letting go [Verse 3] You are the cold that has no source The tide that runs its quiet course You are the name I don't speak aloud The face I find in every crowd [Bridge] [Instrumental — deep reverb bass, slow heartbeat drum machine, low synth drone, deep synth pad, no high notes, cavernous reverb, hollow and distant, slow fade in and out] [Verse 4] I do not mourn, I do not weep You are the thing I chose to keep Not loss, not grief, not memory Just you, still here, still haunting me [Outro] [Slow fade out — bass drops away, synth dissolves, drum machine fades to silence] Still haunting Still here Still haunting Still here [Fade to silence]
