[Verse 1] There’s a silence in the streets tonight, Lanterns hum with a borrowed light. Every shadow’s got a tale it won’t tell, And I’m still learning how to hide myself. [Pre-Chorus] Every breath I take, the air gets thin, Like the fog is crawling underneath my skin. I wear the calm like a gentle disguise, But a hunger waits behind my eyes. [Chorus] It’s murky — you’ll never see me come, A whisper on the wind, then the damage is done. Soft as a secret, cold as the grave, I offer you peace — then I take it away. [Verse 2] I’ve been wandering this haunted town, Feet don’t echo, they don’t make a sound. Every promise here dissolves like rain, Every kindness hides a sharper pain. [Pre-Chorus] I look like mercy in the pale moon’s glow, But there’s a darkness only I know. If you follow me into the mist tonight, You’ll lose yourself before you see the light. [Chorus] It’s murky — you’ll never see me come, A whisper on the wind, then the damage is done. Soft as a secret, cold as the grave, I offer you peace — then I take it away. [Bridge] Don’t blink — the air is thicker now, Can you feel the warning on your brow? Every step you take is part of my plan, I’ll hold your heart in my trembling hands. [Final Chorus] It’s murky — where the lost don’t scream, A nightmare wearing a gentle dream. Sweet as a promise, sharp as a blade, I’ll smile like a friend — and you’ll still be afraid.
