Stranded In A Memory

(Verse 1)

I woke up in a room that doesn’t exist

Flickering lights and a photograph twist

Your voice plays backwards in my head

Like a tape that won’t admit it’s dead

(Pre-Chorus)

I reach for the door but it’s painted shut

Every heartbeat’s a glitch, every breath corrupt

(Chorus)

Stranded in a memory, no way out

Echoes scream what I can’t shout

Time forgot to carry me home

So I rot here, skin and bone

Stranded in a memory, you won’t fade

I’m the ghost that love betrayed

(Verse 2)

The walls replay our final fight

Looped in static, day and night

Your name’s a virus in my veins

I bleed nostalgia, I breathe the pain

(Pre-Chorus)

I claw at the silence, it claws back

Every second’s a trap, every dream’s off track

(Chorus)

Stranded in a memory, no way out

Echoes scream what I can’t shout

Time forgot to carry me home

So I rot here, skin and bone

Stranded in a memory, you won’t fade

I’m the ghost that love betrayed

(Bridge)

I built a shrine from broken clocks

Lit it with the fire of all we lost

But the ashes spell your name again

And I’m stuck in this never-when

(Final Chorus)

Stranded in a memory, no escape

Your shadow wears my shape

Time forgot to carry me home

So I rot here, skin and bone

Stranded in a memory, you won’t fade

I’m the ghost that love betrayed
