Verse 1 I saw the side the night disguised (disguised) Those quiet hours that never fade, (why wont they fade) A darker shade behind your eyes (behind your eyes) A hidden vow the silence made. (Shh) A fragile flame that still survives, It flickered true though shadows played, (oh how they played) The secret place where sorrow hides, A wound that time has not betrayed. Alone in silence, your little muse. (your little muse, your little muse, your little muse) Chorus 1 I saw the part the shadows keep, Buried deep where no light grew. I carried silence, I carried sleep, These scars are mine, I bare them, true. Chant: True True True Verse 2 I heard the words you never spoke (never spoke) They linger still in hollow rooms. The air was thick with ash and smoke, A requiem in quiet tombs. Your shadow pressed against my skin, A weight I bore, but never chose. The night reminds me where you’ve been (where you’ve been) A garden where no mercy grows. Chorus 2 I saw the part the shadows keep, Your ghost still clings, but I break through. (break through) I carried silence, I carried sleep, But I won’t stay chained to you. Verse 3 I never chose the road you laid, You cursed my name for breathing air. (my name…) A crooked vow, a word betrayed, You swore you’d walk a path more fair. (you lied…) Those nights, they cracked but couldn’t bind, I burned, I bled, I staggered through. (still through…) I stand alive with what’s still mine, Your shadow’s gone — I walk in truth. (truth!) Bridge The mirror breaks, but I remain, Your voice is gone, I keep my name. Final Chorus I saw the part the shadows keep, Buried deep, but I walked through. I burned the silence, I cut the sleep, I rise, not because of you. Outro: Alone in silence… no longer your muse. (echoed whispers: “your muse, your muse”) Alone in silence… I’ve nothing to lose. *(whispers stretch, fragment: “to lose… lo… lo…”)
