Verse 1
I watch the river pass me by,
Counting hours I can’t deny.
The current flows, but I don’t move,
An empty heart with nothing to prove.
Pre-Chorus
The water speaks, it doesn’t wait,
It carries time, it seals my fate.
I reach my hand but hold no ground,
The silence drowns without a sound.
Chorus
Shadows on the river, fading out of sight,
The silence is my shelter, the absence of light.
Still I stand and breathe, though nothing feels mine,
A ghost in the current, suspended in time.
---
Verse 2
The milestones sink, the voices fade,
The markers lost, foundations frayed.
The stories end, the clocks all slow,
I’ve nothing left, and nowhere to go.
Pre-Chorus
The river whispers, soft and low,
Invites me gently, “just let go.”
But I still linger, still remain,
Alive in shadows, alive in pain.
Chorus
Shadows on the river, fading out of sight,
The silence is my shelter, the absence of light.
Still I stand and breathe, though nothing feels mine,
A ghost in the current, suspended in time.
---
Bridge (soft, resigned)
Ending is easy, I hear it call,
The water waits to take it all.
But here I stand, a fading flame,
Without a reason, without a name.
---
Final Chorus (slower, fading)
Shadows on the river, fading out of sight,
The silence is my shelter, the absence of light.
Still I stand and breathe, though nothing feels mine,
A ghost in the current, suspended in time.
Outro (whispered)
The river flows…
and I remain
