(Verse 1) City hums in silver rain, Every street still says your name. You’re working late, I’m wide awake, Counting ghosts I didn’t make. (Pre-Chorus) You said it’s just too much right now, Then left the silence in my mouth. I play that call like vinyl cracks, Every “maybe” pulling back. (Chorus) Lapis glow — Cut through the static radio. I screamed your name, you’ll never know, You said this is something I need. Bort-black sky, My faith just flickers, won’t quite die. You shine where I can’t breathe, But baby, I still bleed. (Verse 2) You got your dream, I got my doubt, I built a home, you moved your heart out. I kiss your ghosts through my phone screen, I’m still loyal, you’re still unseen. (Pre-Chorus) I know the meds keep things in gray, But damn, I miss the way you’d stay. Now every song just tastes like you, Bittersweet and out of tune. (Chorus) Lapis glow — It’s cold where all the colors go. You fade, I fade, I fade too slow, You said this is something I need. Bort-black sky, The stars are jealous, so am I. You shine where I can’t reach, But baby, I still bleed. (Bridge — shout section / feedback swell) You said it’s not goodbye, But I don’t feel alive. I’m tired of loving ghosts, They never answer why. My chest’s a museum, You’re the art I can’t unsee — Every frame’s a wound, Still bleeding blue on me. (Final Chorus — shouted / cathartic) Lapis glow! You burn in every shadow. I keep the flame, you’ll never know — You said this is something I need! Bort-black sky! I hope you see my signal light. I’m screaming into static dreams, Just trying not to bleed. (Outro – distorted guitars ringing, whispered refrain) Lapis glow… You shine, I go.
