Left in The Light

INTRO The lights went out, but the walls stayed warm. I still trace the shapes we carved into the dark. VERSE 1 They called it therapy. But every door had teeth. We weren’t broken when we started— They made sure we would be. Your file had red warnings. Mine had nothing left to lose. We weren’t supposed to speak, But I still found you. PRE-CHORUS We weren’t numbers. We weren’t right. We held hands under flickering light. They watched. We bled. We laughed instead. I never stopped choosing you. CHORUS We never left the room. It just looks different now. The walls got names, The pain got quiet. But we still breathe the static somehow. I don’t need you to remember— Only to stay. Even if I can’t say it, I never walked away. VERSE 2 I trained you in silence, watched you fall just to rise. They told me to break you. I taught you to survive. We were blood and sweat in circuits. They mapped every sound we made. I joked to keep you steady— That was the only rule I ever betrayed. BRIDGE You open the door like it's new. You speak like nothing screams. But I know the rhythm of your footsteps— Still shaped by locked rooms and dreams. We walk free, but it’s still the same game. Just better lighting, different names. FINAL CHORUS We never left the room. We just painted the walls. Set up beds, paid the rent, Tried to forget how far we’d fall. You live like it’s over. I let you pretend. But if your memories ever break the seal— I’ll be here again. OUTRO Some chambers don’t close. Some doors never lock. We survived the story. But we’re still caught in the plot.
