Silent parade

“Silent Parade (Into the Dark)”

(Verse 1)

It’s okay… yeah, say it slow

Like a secret only empty rooms can know

There’s a tremble when you cut the crowd away

And hear your real thoughts start to disobey

Takes a blade to carve out what you’ve shown

All the borrowed light you thought was your own

Every mask you wore begins to ache

When you realize what it cost to fake

(Pre-Chorus)

When the lights go out for real

And there’s nothing left to feel…

(Chorus)

Come and walk my silent parade

Where the ghosts of you don’t get saved

Every dream demands its wage

And it’s paid in who you used to be

Break yourself to find the key

Bleed into your destiny

In the dark you finally see

It’s okay… to be alone

(Verse 2)

Memory flickers like a dying flame

Faces blur but the guilt remains

You can run but it tags your bones

Etched in silence, carved in undertones

You’re a body dragging names behind

Every version that you left confined

They don’t die, they just rearrange

In the corners where you never change

(Pre-Chorus)

Hear them whisper, hear them call

“You were never whole at all…”

(Chorus)

Come and walk my silent parade

Where your past stands unafraid

Every truth you tried to evade

Is waiting there to take its place

No escape, no easy plea

You’re the lock and you’re the key

Face the void and you will see

It’s okay… to be alone

(Verse 3)

You’re not the skin, you’re not the face

Not the echo in a borrowed space

Just a flicker in a bag of bones

Trying to crown itself a throne

So go recluse—yeah, disappear

But the deeper you go, the more it’s clear

There’s no “other,” no disguise

Just endless mirrors in your eyes

(Bridge)

Love yourself? That sounds like war

When you hate what you’ve been before

Every heartbeat fights to stay

While your shadows pull you the other way

Set the heart free? It might break

Shatter open for your own sake

Time dissolves, identity bends

You meet yourself… and it never ends

(Breakdown)

Breathe in doubt

Breathe it deep

There’s no promises you get to keep

Every answer splits in two

Till there’s nothing left but you

(Chorus – Darker)

This is your silent parade

Where the light goes in the grave

Every step you’re forced to take

Strips another lie away

No applause, no release

Just the truth beneath the beast

And the question never sleeps—

Are you more… when you’re alone?

(Verse 4)

There’s an artist in the wreckage still

Painting nightmares with iron will

Every fear becomes the ink

Every edge becomes the brink

Defeat the dark? No—learn its shape

Trace its lines, let it permeate

‘Cause the deepest kind of art you’ll find

Is the one that leaves no self behind

(Final Chorus)

Walk it out, this endless road

Every burden that you’ve owed

Every self you’ve overthrown

Leads you further from your home

But somewhere in the fracture’s plea

There’s a brutal clarity—

You’re not who you tried to be…

(Outro)

It’s okay… don’t lie…

It’s a hollow lullaby

You don’t find yourself, you dissolve

In a question never solved

So walk alone…

Through skin and bone…
