(Intro)
(echoing piano + distant strings)
Every night…
you wait for me.
⸻
(Verse 1)
The museum sleeps in silver light
Shadows dancing through the night
Empty halls and marble skin
Dusty frames remembering
I walk slowly through the dark
Like I’m tracing ancient scars
And every room leads back to you
Like they always somehow do
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Cold white hands
frozen eyes
But somehow
you still feel alive
⸻
(Chorus)
At midnight
you breathe again
Your lips move softly in the pale moon haze
For one moment
you’re not stone
And I’m not alone inside this haunted place
But morning comes too fast
and steals your heart away
So I kiss your marble hands
before you fade to gray
⸻
(Verse 2)
Velvet ropes and chandeliers
Silent ghosts of vanished years
You stand there like a lonely queen
Lost somewhere between
Life and death
dream and art
And every night you break my heart
⸻
(Bridge)
Tell me…
were you ever real?
Or did loneliness create you
just so I could feel?
⸻
(Final Chorus)
At midnight
you breathe again
And every shadow bows beneath your gaze
But sunrise turns you cold
back into stone and gold
Leaving me alone again
inside the midnight museum
⸻
(Outro)
(soft violin fading)
Tomorrow night…
I’ll come back to you.
