Verse 1
We were young and in the dark, our hearts like distant drums,
Falling into lust’s deep void where every caution numbs.
Shadows wrapped around us, yet your eyes cut through the night,
It was only you and I—two sparks ablaze with light.
Your whispered promises traced destinies on my skin,
Each breath a fearless plunge, where did we even begin?
Hands tangled in secret codes, stories left untold,
In that charged, silent moment, our fate began to unfold.
Verse 2
Now I wander lost and broken, no beacon leads me home,
You vanished in your whisper, though we swore we’d never roam.
“You’re mine or I’ll die,” you vowed beneath that hollow sky,
Yet you shattered every promise, left our tethered hearts to fly.
You drew the devil from my soul and then you cast him back,
Stole the piece of me that loomed beyond your midnight track.
I’m a hollow silhouette, no spark to call my own,
A ghost within your memory, forever overthrown.
Pre‑Chorus
I claw at iron chains you forged around my heart,
Reaching for an exit, but your gravity won’t part.
Each step I take pulls me closer to your gravity,
Lost between the hope of you and this captivity.
I scream into the void, but echoes only jeer—
I’m bound to you in silence, and it’s all I ever hear.
Chorus (spoken)
Why can’t I break free? I’ve got to break free—
Run back to you, but the path betrays me.
I’ve tried a thousand faces, none can replace your flame,
No echo matches yours, no two souls speak the same.
You’re the summer in my darkness, the light I can’t undo,
Only we can feel the fire that burns between us two.
So tell me—why are you running when our spark still fights to bloom?
I’m lost without your heartbeat calling me from this tomb.
Verse 3
Please come back and guide me from this endless night,
Your absence leaves me stumbling through days that feel contrite.
Only your touch can warm the cold that grips my bones,
Stay just long enough to banish shadows from these stones.
Let your voice become my compass, lead me to your shore,
Before you slip away again and I’m stranded evermore.
Grant me one last lifeline—don’t close that final door,
Pull me from the darkness, and I’ll never ask for more.
Bridge
In the hush where dreams and doubts collide,
I feel your light just out of sight.
I’ll break through every shadow blocking your door,
My soul won’t dwell in darkness anymore.
Though each step feels like walking on glass,
I’d bleed through the night to reach you at last.
Chorus (reprise)
Why can’t I break free? I’ve got to break free—
Run back to you, though the road deceives me.
No heart compares to yours; no light can fill this space,
You’re the song inside me no other can replace.
So tell me—why are you running when our fire still remains?
I’ll chase you through the shadows, ’til your love unties these chains.
