[Intro — whispered / atmospheric] In the silence… I hear it breathe. Something waiting… Beneath me. [Verse 1] I walked where the light couldn’t follow, Through streets made of shadows and stone, Every echo called out my name, Every fear said I was alone. But somewhere deep in the black, I felt a heartbeat calling back, Not a voice, but something I knew— A piece of the dark inside me too. [Pre-Chorus] And if I fall, Let the night surround me. If I lose the way, Let the shadows find me. [Chorus] I won’t run from the darkness, I won’t hide from the night, There’s a fire in the silence, There’s a spark beneath the black. If the darkness comes for me, I’ll become what it can’t see— Not broken, not afraid, I’ll find my way through the shade. [Verse 2] The moon disappeared behind the clouds, And the stars forgot to shine, But I kept walking through the emptiness, Leaving yesterday behind. Every scar became a story, Every shadow had a name, And the deeper that I wandered, The less I feared the flame. [Bridge — stripped back] Maybe darkness isn’t ending. Maybe darkness is the door. Maybe everything I’ve feared Was waiting for me on the other side. [Final Chorus — bigger / emotional] I won’t run from the darkness, I won’t surrender the night, I’ll carry every shadow Till it turns into light. And if the darkness calls my name, I’ll answer without shame, Because somewhere in the black, I found the strength to come back. [Outro] So let the darkness fall… Let the silence breathe… I know the way now. The darkness doesn’t own me.
