Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The city's a concrete tomb, shadows crawl across the street
I walk these avenues alone, where memories used to meet
The clock tower chimes a mournful song, a melody of loss
Each tick and tock, a hollow beat, counting all that we have crossed
(Chorus)
Today, everything's changed, a different kind of light
Our thoughts have shifted, rearranged, from black to faded white
The way we used to live, the things we held so dear
Are distant echoes, whispers near, a fading, whispered fear
(Verse 2)
The faces in the crowd, they seem so distant, cold and strange
The laughter, once so full and loud, now echoes in a cage
We used to walk with open hearts, beneath an open sky
But walls are built, and bridges part, and dreams begin to die
(Chorus)
Today, everything's changed, a different kind of light
Our thoughts have shifted, rearranged, from black to faded white
The way we used to live, the things we held so dear
Are distant echoes, whispers near, a fading, whispered fear
(Bridge)
I see the sunrise, hear the rain, but feel no warmth within
The world moves on, a constant strain, a cycle that begins
And ends with empty promises, and hollow, broken trust
The ghosts of yesterday, they linger, turning dust to rust
(Chorus)
Today, everything's changed, a different kind of light
Our thoughts have shifted, rearranged, from black to faded white
The way we used to live, the things we held so dear
Are distant echoes, whispers near, a fading, whispered fear
(Outro)
But in the silence, in the night, when shadows dance and fade
A flicker of the old, the bright, a memory I cascade
And for a moment, just a breath, I feel the warmth return
The echoes of a love, a death, the lessons I have learned
