Lifelines (Cover)

Lyrics by Fanny Alexandra ⸻ “Lifelines” (Darkwave Version) Verse 1 Your nights still taste like silver rain, My hands are clean, but I feel the stain. You’re chasing ghosts in the static glow, I learned to breathe where you wouldn’t go. Pre-Chorus You pull me under, I let you drown — But I’m not the anchor keeping you down. Chorus No more lifelines, I’m not diving in, Your tides pull deep, but I learned to swim. Keep your shadow, I’ll keep my sun, We can’t hold on when the air is gone. Verse 2 We built our faith from the needle’s light, Prayed to the dark just to feel all right. I walked away from the holy ruin, You stayed behind with the prayers still blooming. Pre-Chorus You want the fever, I want the cure — I can’t go back to what I endured. Chorus No more lifelines, I’m not diving in, Your tides pull deep, but I learned to swim. Keep your shadow, I’ll keep my sun, We can’t hold on when the air is gone. Bridge (low bass throb, whispered vocal) I was the pulse in your borrowed skin, You were the storm that I let in. Now I’m the silence you can’t erase, A shadowed light you’ll never face. Final Chorus (thicker bass, echoing vocals) No more lifelines, I’m not diving in, Your tides pull deep, but I learned to swim. Keep your shadow, I’ll keep my sun, We can’t hold on when the air is gone. Outro (fading, heartbeat synth) No more lifelines… No more lifelines…
