**Silent Venom** *(Verse 1 – English)* In the hallways of fluorescent light, whispers cut deeper than any knife. She walked alone through laughter’s fire, a quiet girl the world desired to break. Day by day the mirrors cracked, and something soft inside her blackened. *(Pre-Chorus – Japanese + English)* 黒い雫が心に落ちて (Kuroi shizuku ga kokoro ni ochite) The good was sealed, the light was drowned. Soul turned liquid, thick and slow— a silent venom, rising from below. *(Chorus – English / Japanese)* We are the black that learns to breathe, the pain that finally chooses to leave. 黒い道を歩いていく (Kuroi michi o aruite iku) A different way, a shadowed birth— where broken hearts become the earth. Silent venom in our veins, we turn the world to night again. *(Verse 2 – English)* She found the others in the rain, eyes like hers, the same old stain. No words needed, just the look— the same black river they all took. Together they unsealed the wound, and let the darkness sing its tune. *(Pre-Chorus – Japanese + English)* 痛みを解き放つ夜に (Itami o tokihanatsu yoru ni) The good stays locked, the venom flows. No more begging for the light— we paint the sky in endless night. *(Chorus – English / Japanese)* We are the black that learns to breathe, the pain that finally chooses to leave. 黒い道を歩いていく (Kuroi michi o aruite iku) A different way, a shadowed birth— where broken hearts become the earth. Silent venom in our veins, we turn the world to night again. *(Bridge – mysterious philosophy, English + Japanese)* What is light if it abandons the wounded? What is purity if it demands we stay broken? 心の奥で善は眠る (Kokoro no oku de zen wa nemuru) The good is sealed, not destroyed— only waiting for a darker truth. We do not heal by becoming bright; we heal by becoming the night. A new path opens where the sun refuses to go— and in that black, we finally grow. *(Final Chorus – softer, then rising)* We are the black that learns to breathe… Silent venom, soft and free. 黒い道を、一緒に (Kuroi michi o, issho ni) Everything around us fades to black— and in that dark, we find our way back. *(Outro – whispered)* Silent… venom… 新しい夜が始まる (Atarashii yoru ga hajimaru)
