[INTRO — whispered, distant, heartbeat pulse] Every time I close my eyes… I see you. Again… [VERSE 1] Every time I close my eyes, I see you, Opening the wounds I tried to hide. Something in the dark keeps pulling me through, Like your ghost is living on the other side. I feel your hands when nobody’s there, Cold little whispers crawling through my head. I tried to run, but you’re everywhere, Every road I take just leads me back instead. [PRE-CHORUS — building, angelic vocals] And I know… You can’t ever let me shine. So why do we keep leaving Everything we had behind? [CHORUS — huge melodic vocals] Every time I close my eyes, I see you, Open up inside and I know! You can’t ever let me shine, So why do we leave this all behind and just go?! Tell me why we keep bleeding, When we both know what we need. If you’re gonna haunt me forever, Then come back and haunt me completely. [POST-CHORUS — Natalia + Violet, ethereal] Oh-oh… I see you in the shadows. Oh-oh… Your heartbeat follows mine. [VERSE 2 — darker, heavier] Red moon hanging over the city, Your silhouette dancing in the rain. You said forever like it meant something, Now forever just feels like a chain. I taste your name like blood on my tongue, Feel your presence underneath my skin. Maybe we’re both already undone, Maybe losing you is where I begin. [PRE-CHORUS — rising] And I know… You can’t ever let me shine. You keep reaching through the darkness, Just to pull me back inside. [CHORUS — heavier] Every time I close my eyes, I see you, Open up inside and I know! You can’t ever let me shine, So why do we leave this all behind and just go?! Tell me why we keep bleeding, When we both know what we need. If you’re gonna haunt me forever, Then come back and haunt me completely. [BREAKDOWN — Melody scream response] DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES! —I CAN’T! DON’T LET ME IN! —I KNOW! YOU TOOK THE LIGHT! YOU LEFT THE SCARS! NOW EVERY NIGHT I SEE YOU IN THE DARK! [BRIDGE — angelic, almost beautiful] Maybe I don’t want to forget you, Maybe the pain is all that’s left. Maybe every time I dream about you, I’m just trying to find myself. [FINAL CHORUS — massive, emotional] Every time I close my eyes, I see you, Open up inside and I know! You can’t ever let me shine, So why do we leave this all behind and just go?! If you’re still somewhere inside me, If your shadow still follows me, Then don’t disappear into the night— Stay until the darkness sets me free. [OUTRO — whispered] Every time I close my eyes… I see you. And somehow… I still know your name.
