Lines (Verse 1) Wedding bells still echo in the morning air, Her hand in his, a diamond catching every glare. Engine hums beneath a painted summer sky, They laugh about forever as the miles drift by. A sign appears through rolling mist… “Welcome to Evervale.” The streets are full of smiling eyes, Children playing, lovers passing by. Everything feels strangely bright, Like a dream beneath the light. ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) But every hour the silence grows… One less heartbeat that nobody knows… ⸻ (Chorus) Where did everybody go? Why’s the world dissolving slow? Faces melting into grey, Watching people fade away. The clocks spin fast, then barely move, Nothing here has anything to prove. Hold me close, don’t let me disappear… Something tells me we were never here. ⸻ (Verse 2) Shop windows empty one by one, The setting moon replaced the sun. A waitress smiles without a face, Leaves two coffees… vanishes without a trace. Traffic lights blink black then white, Day becomes another night. Every road they try to find Always leaves the town behind. ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) He whispers, “Love, are you alright?” She says, “Your voice sounds miles away tonight…” ⸻ (Chorus) Where did everybody go? Why’s the world dissolving slow? Buildings crumble into dust, Every promise starts to rust. Time races past then crawls again, Like it’s breathing through the pain. Hold me close, don’t let me disappear… Something tells me we were never here. ⸻ (Bridge – The Twist) Sirens… Far away… Then closer. A stranger’s voice cuts through the haze… “Can you hear me?” The waitress wasn’t serving drinks… She was calling out his name. The man without a face… Was wearing a surgical mask. The flickering streetlights… Were operating lights. The empty town… Never existed. Glass across the highway… Flowers on the dashboard… Wedding rings covered in blood… They never reached Evervale… The journey ended… Before it began. ⸻ (Final Chorus) Where did everybody go? Now we finally know… The fading streets were hospital halls, Echoes bouncing off the walls. Distorted faces leaning near, Trying hard to keep us here. Time sped up inside our dreams, Nothing’s ever what it seems. If you hear me… take my hand… Come back home… Don’t cross that land. ⸻ (Outro) Monitor beeping… A squeeze of her hand. His eyes open. “She’s waking up…” Wedding bells… Fade into… Silence.
