[Intro]
Whispers crawl through the hollow air
A heartbeat buried
Does anyone care
Fingers trace the edge of despair
[Verse 1]
The moon hangs low like a crooked smile
Beneath its gaze
I walk the mile
Ashes scatter where the shadows play
Footsteps echo
But they fade away
[Prechorus]
What is this hunger
This hollow thirst
Is it a blessing
Or am I cursed
[Chorus]
Shadows ascend
They’re calling my name
A fire ignites but it’s cold in the flame
Every heartbeat’s a drum
Every breath’s a prayer
Shadows ascend
They’re pulling me there
[Verse 2]
A crown of thorns or a veil of mist
I can’t tell which path I’ve kissed
The walls are breathing
The ground’s alive
I’m not alone but I can’t survive
[Prechorus]
I hear them whisper
They’re drawing near
Is it salvation
Or just my fear
