Into the Dark - Tarnished

V5.5

[Intro] [Fingerpicked acoustic guitar] Soft breaths... Following me... Taunting me... Killing me... [Verse 1] [Baritone male vocals] Take me down and let me fall, Teach me what I couldn't see. Every scar I tried to hide Still remembers every piece of me. There's a crack inside these walls, Where the silence learned my name. Every shadow wore my face, Every heartbeat fed the flame. Darkness always seems to find me, Darkness always steals my sight. But somewhere underneath the black, A spark survives the longest night. I've been hiding in my bloodstream, Running circles through my head. Every dream I tried to bury Still refuses to stay dead. [Pre-Chorus] If I disappear tonight, Would the echoes speak my name? Or would all the roads I've traveled Simply wash away like rain? [Chorus] I'm falling through the silence, But the silence lets me breathe. Sometimes when the world's gone black, The truth is all that's left to see. Maybe I was never broken— Just unfinished, worn, and scarred. Sometimes you find who you are... Only after walking through the dark. Only after walking through the dark. [Verse 2] I'm a stain upon the canvas, One that no one thought could fade. Every color turned to ashes, Every promise slowly frayed. Time keeps carving out the pieces I was too afraid to lose. Now I'm standing in the ruins, With nothing left except the truth. Coming faster than my heartbeat, Life keeps slipping through my hands. Still I chase another sunrise, Still I try to understand. Maybe every ending whispers That another door remains. Maybe every shattered memory Isn't meant to end in pain. [Bridge] [Vocals swell with layered harmonies] If the night becomes my shelter, Then I'll learn to wear the cold. If tomorrow never finds me, Let my story still be told. Every wound became a teacher. Every tear became the tide. Every time I thought I'd vanished, There was something still alive. [Final Chorus] I'm falling through the silence, But I'm finally not afraid. Every shadow left behind me Helped me become who I've become today. I was never just the darkness, Never only all my scars. Even buried underneath the night, I've been carrying my own stars. [Outro] [Fingerpicked guitar slowly fades] Take me down if that's the journey. Let me break if that's the cost. Because every soul that's ever found the light... First believed that it was lost. [...soft humming fades into silence...] [Fingerpicked acoustic guitar] Soft breaths... Following me... Taunting me... Killing me... [Re-Verse] [Baritone male vocals] Take me down and let me fall, Teach me what I couldn't see. Every scar I tried to hide Still remembers every piece of me. Take me down and let me fall, Where the silence learned my name. Every shadow wore my face, Every heartbeat fed the flame. Darkness always seems to find me, Darkness always steals my sight. But somewhere underneath the black, A spark survives the longest night. I've been hiding in my ... [Outro Chant] Darkness always seems to find me. Always seems to find me. Oh, mmmmmm. Darkness found me. and the Darkness found me. [Outro Humming] Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm
