(Intro) (Atmospheric synth pads, distant echo) (Slow, pulsing bass enters) (Verse 1) Cold coffee on the nightstand The sheets are still pressed where you lay A map of a life that we planned Now the colors are bleeding to gray I reach for the space right beside me But my fingers just meet the thin air The shadows are trying to hide me In a room that’s becoming too bare (Pre-Chorus) Is it a trick of the light? Or a glitch in the frame? I’m calling through the white noise But I can’t find your name (Chorus) Vanished in a heartbeat, gone like a spark A flickering candle swallowed by dark No footsteps left on the dusty floor Just the hollow sound of a closing door You’re a ghost in the static, a blur in the glass Watching the echoes of everything pass Vanished... (Silence for a beat) Into the blue. (Verse 2) Your clothes are still hung in the closet Like armor with nobody there A debt with no way to deposit Just a silence that’s harder to bear The clock on the wall has stopped ticking At the hour you faded from view The memories are jagged and pricking Everything’s shaped just like you (Chorus) Vanished in a heartbeat, gone like a spark A flickering candle swallowed by dark No footsteps left on the dusty floor Just the hollow sound of a closing door You’re a ghost in the static, a blur in the glass Watching the echoes of everything pass Vanished... (Bridge) (Music builds up, more intense synths) Did you leave through the window? Did you melt in the rain? Are you somewhere out there Beyond all the pain? (Distorted vocal effect) Are you even real? Were you ever here? (Guitar/Synth Solo - Melodic and crying) (Outro) Fading out... (Vanished) Like smoke in the wind... (Vanished) Just a trace of what’s been... (Soft whisper) Where did you go? (End)
