"Closer Than You Know"

"Closer Than You Know"

[analog record noise]

[Intro Soft atmospheric rock ballad]

(Atmospheric whispers, echoes)

[creepy atmosphere but turns the story into something about conviction and grace]

(Intro - quiet, eerie)
(Whispered words)
Footsteps in the silence
Shadows on the wall
Something in the darkness
Watching you through it all..

(Verse 1)
You run through the midnight city
Thinking no one sees
Every secret you’ve been hiding
Every quiet plea
You can lock every door behind you
Turn out every light
But the truth is moving closer
Walking through the night..

(Chorus)
I’m closer than you know
Closer than your fear
Every road you try to run
I’m already here
Closer than the silence
Closer than your breath
Love is right beside you
Even in the depths (I'm watching you)

(Verse 2)
You think someone’s in the shadows
Following your track
But it isn’t condemnation
Trying to pull you back
Every step you take away
Still leads back to grace
You can’t outrun the mercy
Waiting in that place..

(Chorus)
I’m closer than you know
Closer than your fear
Every road you try to run
I’m already here
Closer than the silence
Closer than your breath
Love is right beside you
Even in the depths (I'm watching you)

(Bridge - music builds)
You can call it madness
You can call it fate
But the voice you keep on hearing
Has been there all along..

(Final Chorus)
I’m closer than you know
Closer than the night
Every shadow you’ve been fearing
Is giving way to light..(watching you)

(Outro - whisper)
You were never alone.
