Shadows linger where you once stood
Hollow echoes in the empty wood
Underneath the glass a crack runs deep
The ghost of us won't let me sleep
The air's too thick with what we left behind
Your laugh still sticking to my bleeding mind
Every corner holds a fleeting trace
But I can't claw my way to your face
Tearing at the seams of yesterday
Ripping through the film in shades of gray
Don't want the silence to pull me in
But I can't lose this fight that I won't begin
This rhythm stutters like my broken tongue
Every line I write feels cursed unsung
The sound of you keeps beating in my blood
But the dam is gone and here comes the flood
The walls are crashing down with flashing lights
My heart's a prisoner in endless nights
The fire's out but smoke burns my eyes
Is this freedom or just more lies
Tearing at the seams of yesterday
Ripping through the film in shades of gray
Don't want the silence to pull me in
But I can't lose this fight that I won't begin
