The Dark path whispers below

Verse 1]

In the cracks of the floor, I hear them call,

Tiny voices behind the wall.

Footsteps echo where light won’t go,

The deeper I fall, the slower I grow.

Hands reach out, but fade in snow,

Names I forgot, they still seem to know.

Whispers below… they’re calling me home,

Soft as the sea where the lost souls roam.

Whispers below… they hum and they moan,

Telling me I was never alone.

Broken toys float in the tide,

Their eyes still open, too wide to hide.

Dreams drip down from the ceiling high,

Each one a tear the shadows cry.

If I scream, will the silence stay?

If I run, will I fade away?

Whispers below… they’re calling me home,

Soft as the sea where the lost souls roam.

Whispers below… they hum and they moan,

Telling me I was never alone.

[Bridge] (half-spoken, half-sung)

Shhh… don’t wake them,

They sleep in the water.

Shhh… don’t move,

Or you’ll sink farther.

(low whisper overlapping)

I can hear you breathe…

I can hear you…

Whispers below… fade in the rain,

Nothing remains, just echoes and pain.

Whispers below… softly they say:

"The child you were has drifted away..."
