[Verse 1]

I ran where the streetlights forgot how to shine
With something unseen always close behind 
Every corner whispered, then swallowed the sound 
I kept chasing footprints that vanished underground

A door would appear, then dissolve in the rain
A voice would pull closer, then drift away again 
I never knew what waited beyond the next turn
Only that something was calling, and something would burn

[Pre-Chorus]

White lights flickered somewhere out of sight 
A voice in the distance cut through the night
I had storms of my own underneath my skin 
Still something kept pulling me deeper within

[Verse 2]

Some faces changed when the room turned cold
Some stories twisted before they were told 
I carried strange pieces I couldn't explain
Held them like secrets and walked through the rain

There was a hand that kept finding mine
Even when I disappeared between the lines
You put your own storms somewhere behind
And somehow still found the ones inside my mind

You saw every fracture I tried to conceal
Held space for the things I could never see 
You carried your sorrow and still carried mine
Always looking at me before looking inside

[Pre-Chorus]

I had dust on my feet and the moon on my back
Still following trails that kept fading to black 
Every time I stopped, the silence pulled me back
Leaving only shadows somewhere in the black

[Chorus]

I ain't your mercy, I ain't your prayer 
Don't come looking for me like I'm still waiting there 
You had your heaven, you burned it down 
Now I wear my scars like a diamond crown

[Bridge]

Then somewhere the stars began to lose their glow
And I stood in a hallway with nowhere to go
I heard my name, but I didn’t turn back
Some things just disappear without making a sound

I left the door open, then walked away from the flame
While you swallowed your sorrow and carried my name 
You always put me first when the world came undone
While I was chasing shadows, you were quietly going numb

I was chasing shadows that called from the dark
While you kept protecting the pieces of my heart 
You gave me your light when your own had grown dim
And I didn't see how much I was losing, and it hurts like hell

I thought I was saving what couldn't be saved
While you kept giving more than you ever took 
And somewhere in the darkness, I lost sight of you
The one who held me when I couldn't stand at all

And I chose to go there instead

[Chorus]

But I feel it now in the silence you left behind 
Like an echo that never really leaves my mind 
Every step I took just pulled me further away 
From the only light I didn’t know I should’ve stayed

[Final Pre-Chorus]

So I stopped chasing whispers into the night 
Stopped asking the darkness to make itself right
Some things you can love without knowing why 
Some shadows just fade when you stop asking them to stay

[Chorus]

I ain't your mercy, I ain't your prayer 
Don't come looking for me like I'm still waiting there 
You had your heaven, you burned it down 
Now I wear my scars like a diamond crown

[Outro]

Now a shadow stands where the silence whispers all the truth 
And the hollow rooms still carry echoes of that ghost
If the clock could bleed in reverse, they’d face what haunts them most 
Watching all the bridges burn in a quiet masquerade

But I turned into the light to save my own shit, its my time now
