Lighthouse Through All Storms

[Verse 1]
As your breath slips away
I count the cracks in the ceiling
Hospital light on your face
Makes a map of all our years
Your hand colder each time
Still I swear I feel you squeeze
I trade my own tomorrow
Just to buy you one more breeze
[Chorus]
You were my lighthouse through all storms
Now the sea is swallowing the sky
Will I find the shore now
Or circle where you said goodbye
You were my lighthouse through all storms
I’m a shadow on the tide
[Verse 2]
Time so cruel
Always was
Giving ‘til it gives no more
Paper cup
Plastic cross
Flowers dying on the floor
[low vocal register]
If you go
Who am I
When the waves erase our names
Do I learn to walk alone
Or lie down where our ghosts remain
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
I still hear your voice
In the walls
In the rain
Every creak of this house
Is you calling my name
[growing tremolo guitar]
If the night pulls me under
And my lungs fill with foam
Will your beacon still burn
Will it guide me home
[Chorus]

folk, Dark folk with eerie male vocals; bowed string drones and detuned acoustic guitar, sparse floor tom and low percussion thuds. Verses stay hushed and intimate, close-mic’d breath; chorus widens with stacked ghostly harmonies and a distant, reverb-soaked fiddle. Slow build to a haunted final chorus, then everything drops to a single guitar and voice that fade like a dying ember.
