(Verse 1) In the quiet of the midnight house, when the clocks begin to slow, They sit upon the windowsill and watch the fog below. With emerald eyes that never blink, and steps that make no sound, They carry weight from other realms above this heavy ground. That isn't just a shadow stretching out across the floor, It’s a traveler who lost their way and cannot find the door. (Chorus) Oh, they are the vessels, the keepers of the spark, Holding onto lonely souls who wandered in the dark. Caught between the earth and sky, suspended in the glow, Living inside velvet paws with nowhere left to go. A temporary harbor from the cold and endless blue, They’re passing through the afterlife, and waiting inside you. (Verse 2) You hear a sudden, phantom sigh beneath a heavy purr, A static charge of memories vibrating through the fur. They stare at corners in the room where nothing can be seen, Conversing with the ghosts that dwell inside the space between. A sailor lost at sea, a child who ran ahead too fast, They curl up in a ball of yarn to hide from what has passed. (Chorus) Oh, they are the vessels, the keepers of the spark, Holding onto lonely souls who wandered in the dark. Caught between the earth and sky, suspended in the glow, Living inside velvet paws with nowhere left to go. A temporary harbor from the cold and endless blue, They’re passing through the afterlife, and waiting inside you. (Bridge) It’s a heavy, sacred burden for a creature born so small, To be the only bridge that stands between the wall. They walk the fence of limbo, on a razor-thin divide, Comforting the restless dead that harbor deep inside. (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break - Melancholic and ethereal) (Verse 3) And when the night is over and the morning breaks the spell, The phantom takes a breath and sighs a quiet, soft farewell. A sudden leap, a stretch of spine, the heavy fog will clear, Another soul has found its way and left the atmosphere. (Outro) But there’s always next tomorrow, and another one to host... Just a little tabby cat, cradling a ghost. Mmh, cradling a ghost. In the space between worlds.
