Verse 1
[soft bass pulse enters] [light shaker very low]
Shadows crawl across the wall tonight
Every color losing all its light
Footsteps echo in a hollow mind
Hear the silence screaming from inside
Windows stare with vacant eyes of gray
Every memory starts to drift away
I don’t run — I let it pull me in
Feel the dark beneath my skin
[background hum layer continues]
⸻
Chorus / Instrumental Chant
[tribal tom drums enter] [low strings] [sub bass]
Hmm hmm hm hmmm
Hmm hmm hm hmmm
[add stomp clap]
Hmm hmm hm hmmm
Hmmm… hmmm…
⸻
Verse 2
[drums pull back slightly] [pluck guitar or sitar-style lead very low]
Faces blur like smoke in broken air
Every heartbeat sounding like a prayer
World keeps turning but I stand still
Frozen in an unseen will
Candles flicker, bending to the breeze
Whispers hanging from the trees
No bright morning calling me
Only night and melody
[low hum continues under last line]
⸻
Chorus
[full toms] [higher harmony hum added] [bass slide]
Hmm hmm hm hmmm
Hmm hmm hm hmmm
Hmm hmm hm hmmm
Hmmm… hmmm…
⸻
Bridge – Half Time / Haunting
[half-time drums] [choir pad] [filter sweep]
No sun… no sound…
Only echoes circling ‘round
Hmm… hmm…
Lost but never found
[drums stop last bar]
Verse 3
[soft bass pulse enters] [light shaker very low]
Shadows crawl across the wall tonight
Every color losing all its light
Footsteps echo in a hollow mind
Hear the silence screaming from inside
Windows stare with vacant eyes of gray
Every memory starts to drift away
I don’t run — I let it pull me in
Feel the dark beneath my skin
[background hum layer continues]

[drums pull back slightly] [pluck guitar or sitar-style lead very low]

No bright morning calling me
Only night and melody
