Shadows in the Silence

[Intro] [Verse 1] The clock ticks louder when the lights fade low, A hollow room where the ghosts of yesterday grow. Pillows feel like stones, the sheets twist and scream, Childhood’s ghost paints the walls with its broken dream. [Chorus] Oh, the night’s a liar, dressed in shadows and smoke, Every breath’s a battle just to stay awake and c***e. I’ve danced with demons in a poisoned haze, But the bottle’s empty now, and the high’s a maze. [Verse 2] Used to numb the thunder with a stolen flame, Whiskey rivers, pills to blur the blame. But the scars still whisper when the world’s asleep, And the nightmares rise from the wounds I keep. [Chorus] Oh, the night’s a liar, dressed in shadows and smoke, Every breath’s a battle just to stay awake and c***e. I’ve danced with demons in a poisoned haze, But the bottle’s empty now, and the high’s a maze. [Bridge] I’m stitching my soul with threads of the dawn, No more hiding where the light’s withdrawn. The past may rattle, but it won’t define, This fractured heart’s still learning to shine. [Outro]
