**[Intro]** **(Instrumentatie)* Zachte akkoorden op piano, rustige bass, subtiele percussie *(Melodie)* Eenvoudige, vloeiende zanglijn die meebeweegt met de woorden****(Instrumentatie)* Intensere drums, distortion op synths, vocal chops toevoegen *(Melodie)* Losse, ritmische vocalen die meedraaien met de beat** **[Verse 1]** I gaze into the windowpane, see someone else remain, you said: “Stay close, stay near,” then everything turned silent, unclear. Still in my hands, I hold the trace, of your departure’s silent grace, I count the frayed and loosened threads, until my true reflection spreads. **[Pre-Chorus]** * *(Instrumentatie)* Opbouw met lichte synthesizers, langzaam crescendo, meer drums *(Melodie)* Zwaardere vocalen, opbouwende melodie die spanning creëert** And when I fall, I fall inside, where you still secretly reside, in half-spoken words you hide, in shadows where you softly bide. **[Chorus]** * *(Instrumentation)* Heavy beat with drums, powerful synths, expanding melody *(Melody)* Exuberant, rousing vocal line, full sound** Within the shadow’s gentle sway, I search for my forgotten name, within the shadow’s quiet stay, I reach out, and feel your flame. Within the shadow’s tender cast, I soften, break, and then restore, within the shadow’s hold so vast, I cling to what I can’t ignore. **[Verse 2]** A night resides within my chest, with traces of your scent expressed, I follow footprints left behind, of what was lost, what’s confined. Your voice drifts through the hallways long, like keys that turn, a silent song, I open doors that seem to creak, but only find the chill they speak. **[Pre-Chorus]** * *(Instrumentatie)* Opbouw met lichte synthesizers, langzaam crescendo, meer drums *(Melodie)* Zwaardere vocalen, opbouwende melodie die spanning creëert** And if you call my name in vain, I answer back in silent pain, I’ve lost the thread, I’m not the same, unsure if you still want my flame. **[Chorus]** * *(Instrumentation)* Heavy beat with drums, powerful synths, expanding melody *(Melody)* Exuberant, rousing vocal line, full sound** Within the shadow’s gentle sway, I search for my forgotten name, within the shadow’s quiet stay, I reach out, and feel your flame. Within the shadow’s tender cast, I soften, break, and then restore, within the shadow’s hold so vast, I cling to what I can’t ignore. **[Bridge]** Maybe I am the one who stays, wandering in these mournful ways, in circles spun of grief and blue, in shattered windows' broken hue. Perhaps you were never gone, just shifted light that lingers on, a mirror without a frame, a face that’s lost in silent shame. **[Chorus]** * *(Instrumentation)* Heavy beat with drums, powerful synths, expanding melody *(Melody)* Exuberant, rousing vocal line, full sound** Within the shadow’s gentle sway, I search for my forgotten name, within the shadow’s quiet stay, I reach out, and feel your flame. Within the shadow’s tender cast, I soften, break, and then restore, within the shadow’s hold so vast, I cling to what I can’t ignore.
