Voices in the Hallway

[Verse 1] The clock keeps ticking in an empty room, Dust on the pictures, memories consumed. Footsteps echo where nobody stands, Shadows keep reaching with invisible hands. [Verse 2] Streetlights flicker through the pouring rain, Some scars heal, but some remain. I hear the whispers when the world goes still, Calling my name from beyond the hill. [Pre-Chorus] I've been running from ghosts I can't outrun, Searching for peace where there is none. Every mirror knows the truth I hide, Every lonely night I lose my fight. [Chorus] There's a fire beneath the ice, A heart that's paid a thousand prices. Lost in dreams that never sleep, Buried secrets I still keep. When the moonlight paints the floor, I hear the voices through the door. In the silence, they remain, Calling softly through the rain. [Bridge] If tomorrow never comes my way, Will the memories finally fade away? Or will they linger in the dark, Like fading embers without a spark? [Final Chorus] There's a storm behind my eyes, Broken wings still try to fly. Through the darkness, through the pain, I keep walking just the same. And though the night may know my name, It cannot steal my final flame.
