Whisper Your Name

Voices in the static

Shadows lick the flame

Something in me waking

And it knows your name

I loved you from a life gone cold

Before the silence took its hold

There was a storm beneath my skin

No peace outside, no peace within

I buried truth beneath the noise

Turned my rage into a voice

Every scar became a spark

Every heartbeat fed the dark

If you saw the worst in me

Would you run — or stay and bleed?

I was born beneath black skies

Trying not to kill your light

Lost myself in shadow wars

Still your ghost survives in mine

Every wound became a throne

Every night I faced alone

But through the wreckage, through the flame

I still whisper your name

Your eyes cut through the smoke I wore

Like sunlight through a broken war

But every word I couldn’t say

Turned into the chains I made

My darkness spoke with serpent tongues

Made a liar of my lungs

Still somewhere under all that hate

A dying ember learned to wait

If you touched the scars I hide

Would you leave — or stand beside?

I was born beneath black skies

Trying not to kill your light

Lost myself in shadow wars

Still your ghost survives in mine

Every wound became a throne

Every night I faced alone

But through the wreckage, through the flame

I still whisper your name

Hear the thunder shake the wire

Feel the blood ignite the fire

I fought myself for far too long

Turned my weakness into song

Now the storm crawls out of me

Still unfinished, still unclean

But the dark no longer owns

Every shattered piece of soul

I loved you through the violence

Through the ruin in my head

And if your light still finds me

Maybe I’m not dead yet
