[Intro – slow build, distorted guitars swelling]
Yeah…
The light’s gone out… I can’t reach you now…
[Verse 1 – tight rhythm, rising tension]
We had fire in the night, burning bright,
Two broken souls, we were holding tight.
But the cracks let the darkness crawl inside,
Now I’m chasing ghosts where the truth should hide.
Your voice turned hollow, your eyes turned cold,
The love we had slipped right through my hold.
I tried to fight, but the night pulled you near,
And the shadows whispered louder than my fear.
[Chorus – soaring, raw power]
The shadows got between us,
Tore the daylight down.
Left me screaming in the silence,
As the walls came crashing down.
We reached for forever,
But it slipped into the grey.
The shadows got between us…
And stole you away.
[Verse 2 – heavier, riff-driven]
Every lie was a nail in the frame,
Every truth was a spark that we couldn’t sustain.
I bleed in the dark where your memory stays,
But it cuts me deeper every single day.
I reached for your hand but it turned to smoke,
The weight of your silence is the cruelest choke.
I can’t find the light in the ruins we made,
Just shadows dancing in the mess we played.
[Chorus – repeat, fuller backing vocals]
The shadows got between us,
Tore the daylight down.
Left me screaming in the silence,
As the walls came crashing down.
We reached for forever,
But it slipped into the grey.
The shadows got between us…
And stole you away.
[Bridge – soft start, builds to scream]
I fight… but I’m drowning…
I scream… but you’re gone…
If love was a fire, then the night was the flood,
Now I’m choking on the ashes, drowning in the mud.
[Final Chorus – explosive, layered guitars/vocals]
The shadows got between us,
Tore the daylight down.
Left me broken in the silence,
With no way out.
We reached for forever,
But it slipped into the grey.
The shadows got between us…
And took you away.
[Outro – fading guitars, whispered echo]
The shadows… between us…
The shadows… between us…
