[Verse]
Shadow-born, a cradle of rot,
Hands that turn gold into dust, forgot.
Breath of night, a chill that lingers,
The curse carves deep with phantom fingers.
[Chorus]
I wanted to dream, but I’m the scream.
A cradle of light, torn at the seam.
Born to heal, but I bring decay,
The Boogeyman dances where hope can't stay.
[Verse 2]
Creak of floorboards, my lullaby,
Echoes whisper where the brave won't lie.
I reach for warmth, it slips away,
Everything I touch turns to ash and grey.
[Prechorus]
Sand slips through my broken palms,
The stars retreat, the void hums psalms.
[Chorus]
I wanted to dream, but I’m the scream.
A cradle of light, torn at the seam.
Born to heal, but I bring decay,
The Boogeyman dances where hope can't stay.
[Bridge]
I begged the dark for a shard of grace,
But the mirror cracked, my shadow's face.
Laughter echoes where love should bloom,
A garden of fear, my eternal tomb.
