Specters in Bloom

[intro: (instrumental)] [Verse 1] A fracture in the velvet sky, (She hums, she hums, her breath unwinds.) Stars drip like mercury— each drop a hymn to what we’ve seen. [Hook 1] The carousel spins; its ghosts are grinning. (A flicker, a fracture, the edges thinning.) Glass-eyed lions devour their kings— all for a crown of paper and string. [Verse 2] Chandeliers of salt hang low, melting under the spectral glow. (They weep, they weep, for what they know.) The tide gnaws at the swollen shore, hungering for something more. (Hungering for something more) [Bass drop] [Chorus] Dance with the ruin; It blooms in your chest. Hold it— Don’t let it rest. (The echo breaks) (the silence bends) Spinning shadows carve their hymn. [Bridge] The river bites its own reflection, dragging it into the undertow. (It calls, it calls, but no one listens.) Your voice, a smudge of static, still clings to the radio glow. [Break] Lanterns stitched from fractured veins leak light that burns like rain. (They ache, they ache, but still they remain.) Even the winds forget their names— but not their wounds, not their chains. [Bass drop] [Chorus] Dance with the ruin; It blooms in your chest. Hold it— Don’t let it rest. (The echo breaks) (the silence bends) Spinning shadows carve their hymn. [Outro: (haunting)] A fracture in the velvet sky— it never mends, It never dies. (Oh, how it reaches. Oh, how it aches.) Specters bloom where silence breaks. A fracture in the velvet sky— it never mends, It never dies. (Oh, how it reaches. Oh, how it aches.) Specters bloom where silence breaks.
