[Short Instrumental Intro — Dark guitar swell, slow pulse]
[Verse 1]
You walk in when the night goes thin
Like you never lost the key
Standing where you used to live
In the dark with me
Your lips shape almost-sorry
But the words don't ever land
You once spoke like you ruled the air
Now you barely stand
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what you're trying to be
But you can't cross back to me
[Chorus]
Talking in shadows
Turning in slow
Like sorry is something you fear
You came like a memory
Cold and unfinished
Then you disappear
Abandon my dreams
You're fading from me
Just a ghost of what used to be
[Verse 2]
You move like fallen royalty
Like you still expect the crown
Standing in the afterglow
Of a kingdom burning down
Your hands hang full of regret
But you never take the blame
You once walked beside my throne
Now you won't say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
You came for forgiveness tonight
But you don't have the right
[Chorus]
Talking in shadows
Turning in slow
Like truth is a line you won't cross
You came for forgiveness
But brought only distance
Like saying it comes at a cost
Abandon my dreams
You're haunting what's lost
No place in the dark for us
[Bridge — Dark Gothic Build]
Midnight remembers
Everything you broke
Your echo lingers
But the spell is broke
You lost the night
You lost the flame
You lost the right
To speak my name
[Violin Solo — Dark melodic, slow gothic lead]
[Final Chorus — Bigger]
Talking in shadows
Turning in slow
Like sorry is buried too deep
You came for forgiveness
But can't even face it
So you don't walk into my sleep
(Clear out!)
Abandon my dreams
The night cuts you free
(Clear out!)
Abandon my dreams
You're fading from me
(Clear out!)
Abandon my dreams
What was won't be
(Clear the fuck out!)
[Outro] (Big Finish — Sustained guitar and violin)
