Shadows

Lyrics

[Intro - brooding clean guitars, distant reverb-drenched whispers, slow atmospheric build]

*(Whispers: Shadows... falling...)*

[Post-Intro - heavy palm-muted riffs enter, low snare rolls, haunting male vocal croon]

In the silence, I feel you slipping away
Cold fingers tracing the edge of my pain

[Chorus - explosive distorted guitars, pounding double-kick drums, anguished screamed vocals with harmonized lows]

Why do you haunt me in the dead of night?
Bleeding shadows, tearing out the light!
I'm drowning in this endless, blackened fight
Lost in your ghost, forever out of sight!

[Verse - chugging down-tuned riffs, sparse industrial percussion, raw emotive clean vocals turning gritty]

Memories carve like knives into my skin
Your laughter echoes where the darkness begins
I chase the fragments of what we used to be
But they're ashes now, burning inside of me
Every breath a reminder of the fall
Climbing these walls, but I hit them all

[Bridge - stripped to clean arpeggiated guitars and piano, vulnerable falsetto vocals building to screams, tension swell]

And if I scream your name into the void...
Will you ever hear? Will you ever come back?
*(Screamed: No!)*
The weight crushes down, no turning 'round...

[Chorus - massive wall of sound, layered screamed vocals, crushing breakdowns with blast beats]

Why do you haunt me in the dead of night?
Bleeding shadows, tearing out the light!
I'm drowning in this endless, blackened fight
Lost in your ghost, forever out of sight!

[Refrain - mid-tempo groove with gritty cleans over heavy bass, ad-libbed growls, fading echoes]

Forever out of sight... (out of sight)
Your ghost in the night... (in the night)
Bleeding me dry... (me dry)
Goodbye... goodbye...

[Outro - decelerating riffs dissolving into feedback, whispered vocals with reverse reverb, final distant scream]

*(Whispers fading: Shadows... falling... goodbye...)*
*(Screamed echo: Forever!)*
