[Verse]
The room is quiet the air feels thin
He plays the notes but they don't sink in
Fingers trembling on ivory bones
Echoes bouncing but he's all alone
[Chorus]
Fading keys fading dreams
Life's a whisper not a scream
Play it loud play it slow
Let it end on a single note
[Verse 2]
Dust on the bench where the crowds once cheered
His shadow's the only thing that appeared
Photographs cracked from another time
His melody's gone out of rhyme
[Prechorus]
But he still plays for the ghosts at night
Each wrong chord a flickering light
[Chorus]
Fading keys fading dreams
Life's a whisper not a scream
Play it loud play it slow
Let it end on a single note
[Bridge]
The piano sighs like an old friend
They both know it's close to the end
But in the silence a spark remains
The music's pulse still in his veins
