In the quiet veins of the night

Shadows curl like smoke in rain

Tracing lines I can’t explain

Whispers hum in empty halls

Carving echoes through the walls

And I breathe in broken light

Through the cracks of fading skies

In the quiet veins of night

Where the stars forget to shine

I drift beneath the weight of time

Held in silence, undefined

No more need for words or fight

Only shadows, only flight

Ghosts of thoughts I used to know

Flicker soft and let me go

Every dream a falling thread

Woven through what’s left unsaid

And I drown in distant glow

Where the lost and lonely go

In the quiet veins of night

Where the stars forget to shine

I drift beneath the weight of time

Held in silence, undefined

No more need for words or fight

Only shadows, only flight

Time moves like glass breaking slow

Each piece a world I’ll never know

But still I walk, barefoot through

This realm of grey and silver blue

In the quiet…

In the quiet veins of night…

I become the fading light…
