Souls for Sale

Whispers in the shadow, pain that I conceal

Blood and broken vows, wounds I always feel

Walking through the darkness, scars I've come to bear

Promises I harvest, leave hearts laced with despair

Every fleeting touch, a fragment of their soul

Filling up my hollow, making me whole

Love is just a game I play, for my salvation's cost

Fading memories stay, in the shadows lost

Collecting their pieces, in the night I dwell

Burning, bleeding, wishing I could tell

That I love them deeply, though it’s just a fleeting near

Leaving with their echoes, drown in their fear

Masks I wear each evening, hiding all my pain

Trying to forget, but the scars remain

A ghost among the living, torn between right and wrong

Caring just enough to keep me holding on

Love is just a game I play, for my salvation's cost

Fading memories stay, in the shadows lost

Collecting their pieces, in the night I dwell

Burning, bleeding, wishing I could tell

That I love them deeply, though it’s just a fleeting near

Leaving with their echoes, drown in their fear

Oh, these fragments of love, they burn within my core

A cathedral of sorrow, I can't ignore

Longing for release, but forever I keep

Echoes of their love, haunting my sleep

(An expressive, haunting instrumental echoing the pain and fleeting love)

Maybe someday, I’ll find my own way

But tonight, I gather what they've left behind

In the dark, I stay, love's ghost in the night

Collecting pieces, escaping the light
