Flicker in the Fog

The silence holds your name like smoke

Whispers through the walls you broke

I trace your shadow in the dust

But every echo fades to rust

You were there, then you were gone

Like a dream I held too long

Now the night just drags me through

Every version of you

You're a flicker in the fog, a breath I can't reclaim

A ghost beneath my skin, dancing in the rain

And every step I take, you're just a step away

But further every day…

You're the ghost I couldn't save

Your voice still lingers in the dark

A phantom heartbeat in my heart

I reach for you in empty air

Pretending you're still somewhere there

Time won't wash you from these halls

You're the writing on my walls

Still I chase you like a flame

Calling out your name

You're a flicker in the fog, a breath I can't reclaim

A ghost beneath my skin, dancing in the rain

And every step I take, you're just a step away

But further every day…

You're the ghost I couldn't save

If I could hold you one last time

Would you fade or would you shine?

I’d give this haunted life of mine

To turn back time...

You're a flicker in the fog, a breath I can’t let go

A song stuck on repeat, soft and low

And every night I dream, I see your face again

But morning steals you then…

You're the ghost I call a friend
