“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…
BURDEN
