[Verse 1]
Candles on the windowsill
Wax running like old guilt
Name carved in the splintered rail
Julian
I feel you still
Midnight in a quiet house
Every picture turned face-down
Footsteps in the hallway dust
Breathing but there’s not a sound
[Chorus]
Julian
Julian
Soft as a secret in my lungs
Julian
Julian
Dragging my shadow with your tongue
You never left
You never really came
Julian
Julian
Whispering through my veins
[Verse 2]
Clock hands stuck at 3:15
Rust blooming on the frame
Someone wrote across my mirror
All the letters of your name
I don’t light the matches now
I just watch the room grow cold
Every corner calling out
Stories I was never told
[Chorus]
Julian
Julian
Soft as a secret in my lungs
Julian
Julian
Dragging my shadow with your tongue
You never left
You never really came
Julian
Julian
Whispering through my veins
[Bridge]
[drums swell
Low choir murmurs “Julian”]
Circle drawn in faded chalk
I stand inside
I never talk (Julian)
If I speak
Will you appear
Or were you only ever fear
[Chorus]
Julian
Julian
Soft as a secret in my lungs (so softly)
Julian
Julian
Dragging my shadow with your tongue
You never left
You never said my name
Julian
Julian
Burning through my veins (Julian)
