[Intro] (Guitar riff - clean, arpeggiated, building with delay, subtle synths) Yeah... oh... [Verse 1] [Soft, breathy gritty male vocals, storytelling vibe] Streetlights bleedin' neon rain, on shattered window panes Another lonely midnight call, echo in this empty hall Your perfume on the air, a phantom I can't bear Just memories of your kiss, in this cold abyss [Pre-Chorus] And the clock keeps tickin' slow, nowhere left for me to go Just this ache inside my chest, puttin' love to the test [Chorus] (Lead): I’m reaching through the dark! (Backing Vocals/Response): Through the dark! (Woaaaahhhh) (Lead): To find a dying spark! (Backing Vocals/Response): Find the spark! (Wooooahhhhh) [Full band enters, heavy crash cymbals] (Woahhhh) [Verse 2] Mirror shows a stranger's face, a shadow I can't chase The laughter died so long ago, where did all the colours go? Just shades of gray and blue, since I lost hold of you A ballad sung in vain, through this hurricane [Pre-Chorus] And the silence screams your name, playin' out this tragic game Just this hollow in my heart, tearin' my world apart [Chorus] (Lead): I’m reaching through the dark! (Backing Vocals/Response): Through the dark! (Woaaaahhhh) (Lead): To find a dying spark! (Backing Vocals/Response): Find the spark! (Wooooahhhhh) (Woahhhhh) [Bridge] [Guitar solo - soaring, melodic, with heavy distortion and wah pedal] Was it all a dream... or just a cruel, cruel scheme? I reach out in the dark... but there's nothing but this mark Of your absence, yeah... it's a heavy, heavy cross to bear... [Chorus] (Lead): I’m reaching through the dark! (Backing Vocals/Response): Through the dark! (Woaaaahhhh) (Lead): To find a dying spark! (Backing Vocals/Response): Find the spark! (Wooooahhhhh) [Outro] Shattered by mistrust... [Guitar riff fades out with feedback and delay]
