[Intro] (Softly strummed acoustic guitar enters, wrapped in deep, echoing electric layers) [Verse 1] Midnight shadows on the wooden floor A quiet draft beneath the heavy door Whispers of the dust in the fading light We trace the outlines of the coming night The road is long, the engine cold A story left behind, untold [Chorus] Oh, let the rain wash over the clay We are only ghosts at the end of the day Lost in the haze of a memory's grace Drowning slowly in this silent space [Guitar Solo] (A slow, melodic guitar solo pulses beneath a heavy haze of reverb and echo, drifting over swelling pads) [Verse 2] Dusky wind through the withered pines Sinking deep between the crooked lines The trembling air, a sudden chill The world is dark, the world is still An old refrain, a distant hum Waiting for the dawn to come [Chorus] Oh, let the rain wash over the clay We are only ghosts at the end of the day Lost in the haze of a memory's grace Drowning slowly in this silent space [Outro] The echoes fade, the strings decay Into the dust, we drift away (Acoustic strums slowly dissolve into a deep, swelling layer of reverb and silence)
