Tri-Collaboration - Where the Shadows Wait

[Intro] (Soft analog synth, distant piano, slow heartbeat kick) Don't turn the light on... I can almost see... [Verse 1] The hallway hums a quiet song, Like it's known me all along. Every doorway fades to blue, Leading somewhere out of view. Dust hangs gently in the air, Like forgotten little prayers. Every corner holds a name, Nothing here has truly changed. [Pre-Chorus] If I listen... Close enough... The silence Starts to breathe... [Chorus] Where the shadows wait for me, Nothing is quite what it seems. Every step becomes a memory, Floating through forgotten dreams. If I lose my way tonight, Leave a whisper, not a light. I'll find my own way home Through the dark alone. [Verse 2] The windows hide the evening sky, Keeping all the stars outside. Every picture on the wall Looks as though it's seen it all. Something moves beyond the glass, Like a ghost of moments passed. I don't run and I don't hide, I let the night decide. [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat... Every sigh... Leaves another Piece behind... [Chorus] Where the shadows wait for me, Time is slow as falling leaves. Nothing asks me who I was, Only who I'm meant to be. If tomorrow calls my name, I won't wake up quite the same. The night has shown me more Than daylight ever could. [Bridge] (Instrumental — shimmering synth lead, clean delay guitar, slow-building drums) Maybe darkness isn't empty... Maybe it remembers... Every quiet hope... We never spoke aloud... [Final Chorus] Where the shadows wait for me, I don't have to disappear. Every fear becomes a doorway, Every silence grows sincere. When the morning fills the sky, I won't ask the reason why. I'll carry what I found Where the shadows wait. [Outro] (Music box motif with fading choir and synth pad) The night is gone... But not the dream...
