Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Crystals in the sand
Sky the color of a bruise
I keep waking in the wrong world
Sunlight feels like bad news
Names carved into quests
But I only taste the ash
Every victory a half-step
From another heart I’ll crash
[Chorus]
I was the shadowbringer
Dragging daylight to its knees
Saving strangers
Losing pieces
Dropping memories like leaves
I was the shadowbringer
Chasing gods through dying towns
Lifted up like some savior
Just to fall
Just to fall
Back down
[Verse 2]
Towers made of prayers
Cities breathing borrowed time
Every smile a little fragile
Every promise edged in rhyme
You held out your hand
Said
“We don’t have long”
So I learned to swing a weapon
Where I used to write a song
[Chorus]
I was the shadowbringer
Dragging daylight to its knees
Saving strangers
Losing pieces
Dropping memories like leaves
I was the shadowbringer
Chasing gods through dying towns
Lifted up like some savior
Just to fall
Just to fall
Back down
[Bridge]
All these worlds I keep repairing (oh)
Leave a fracture in my chest
If I’m only what they’re fearing
Am I more than what is left?
Every sin I keep on shouldering
Every shard inside my hands
If I break
Will you remember me
When you wake in gentler lands?
[Chorus]
I was the shadowbringer
Dragging daylight to its knees
Saving strangers
Losing pieces
Dropping memories like leaves
I was the shadowbringer
Burning bright in borrowed crowns
Held your hope like a weapon
Now I’m gone
Now I’m gone
Calm down
[Outro]
Crystals in the sand
Fading footprints in the rain
If I never see that sky again
Will it still
Say my name?

Style
rock, Hazy shoegaze and art rock blend: washed-out guitars through heavy reverb, slow-building drums, and a droning bass bed. Male vocals hover like a ghost above the mix, stacked falsetto doubles in the chorus. Verse guitars stay murky and distant; chorus erupts with wide stereo fuzz and synth pads blooming underneath. Final bridge pulls instruments back to an almost a cappella hush, then crashes once more into a saturated, swirling outro., dream pop, shoegaze, art rock
