Midnight Whispers

[Verse 1] Shaded ink upon the page, a quiet tragedy A simple life was never carved for someone built like me I sit beneath the silent dust where hollow spirits bloom And trade my breath for echoes in the corners of this room [Pre-Chorus] The darkness pulls a velvet veil across my tired eyes A mantle made of velvet shade to sever all my ties [Chorus] Lost within the midnight whispers, floating in the grey Unsure of what the morning brings, or if I'll see the day The shadows fold around my heart, they swallow every line You hide me from a world I knew was never truly mine Yeah, you hide me from the world that was never mine [Verse 2] Paper bleeds beneath my touch, the spirits start to sing A symphony of phantom vows and useless offerings I trace the writing in the dark, the pen a heavy stone Surrounded by a thousand ghosts, yet utterly alone [Bridge] [Breakdown – slow, heavy, ambient synth into crushing guitars] Say the words, say the name Let the night take the blame Tear the light from my skin Let the darkness begin Is it peace? Is it pain? Drowning deep in the rain Hold me under the shade Where the memory fades [Chorus] Lost within the midnight whispers, floating in the grey Unsure of what the morning brings, or if I'll see the day The shadows fold around my heart, they swallow every line You hide me from a world I knew was never truly mine [Outro] Just sitting with the ghosts tonight... Writing in the shades... Midnight whispers... Falling into the dark...
