A rework of "Threadbare", originally inspired by the excellent German series DARK - https://suno.com/s/gMiRJVN8Q45sp5u0 This is my entry for the Haunted Campfire Songs contest on The Lyric Lab - https://suno.com/playlist/d570029b-1917-4d2f-a797-352a69953712 --- [Verse] The walls are breathing in again Stone in darkness, paper-thin Walking in circles just to find The corners carved inside my mind You left the thread beside the gate I touched it once—but came too late I swore I’d slay the things I fear But something keeps me here [Pre-Chorus] Every turn, a fractured face Every name I can't replace Your voice still echoes in the stone But only I am here, alone [Chorus] Oh, do you see me now? I’m still lost, I never found The center held no victory Only ghosts that look like me If I had followed where you led… Would I be whole, or just not dead? [Verse] The sword I dragged has turned to rust No monsters left, just gathered dust I thought I’d win, I thought I’d know But courage fades where memory grows [Bridge – Soft] I said I’d come back for you But I couldn’t come back for myself Now you’re deep inside the maze In the silence Under the spell [Final Chorus – Hushed, Strained] Oh, the thread’s gone thin I wear regret beneath my skin The map is burned, I lost the key In a maze, a part of me If you still wait beyond the sound… Forgive the man who let you down [Outro – Whispered] I touched the thread It slipped away I call your name But I can’t stay [Fade Out] [End]
