Silhouettes and Dust

(Intro - Gentle, atmospheric piano with soft cello)
(C Major - Am - F - G)

(Verse 1)
The clock has swallowed all our time
The sunset bled into the wine
Our final words are hanging in the air
Unfinished threads, a vacant chair
And in this slow and fading light
I memorize your profile, right
Against the window, soon to be
A ghost that's haunting only me

(Pre-Chorus)
The door is holding its goodbye
A whisper in a silent sigh
I feel the future turning rust...

(Chorus)
So we become silhouettes and dust
A beautiful and broken trust
We float on echoes of a vow
I'm losing who I'm without you now
This room, a museum of our us
We're fading into silhouettes and dust
(Melody soars here on "without you now")

(Verse 2)
I'll pack the laughter in a box
Beneath your scarf and forgotten socks
The photograph that stole your smile
Will linger for a little while
And every corner of this place
Will wear the shadow of your face
A gentle, unforgiving trace

(Pre-Chorus)
The world outside seems less defined
I'm leaving all we knew behind
And feeling all the future's rust...

(Chorus)
And we become silhouettes and dust
A beautiful and broken trust
We float on echoes of a vow
I'm losing who I'm without you now
This room, a museum of our us
We're fading into silhouettes and dust

(Bridge)
Was it the season's turn, or just the wind?
A gentle, tragic, quiet end
No storm, no fire, just the gentle tide
That pulled you softly from my side...
And in the calm, I understand
The slowest break is by design
It leaves your fingerprints on mine
(Music swells, then drops to just piano)

(Final Chorus - More intimate, raw)
So we're just silhouettes and dust
A beautiful and broken trust
I'm clinging to an echo of a vow
Who do I become without you now?
This love, a museum of our us...
I'm fading into silhouettes and dust...

(Outro)
Silhouettes... and dust...
(Pamine note held, single piano notes ring out, fading to silence)
(F - G - C)
