Lyrics
[instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
One more night and I'm choking on regret
Didn't see the tear tracks 'til the mascara bled
Your smile, a ghost, haunting what we had
A fractured fairytale, screaming ever sad
[Pre-Chorus]
We should be walking through life, hand in hand
But your grip loosens, slipping through the sand
I reach out, a plea lost in the static
[shouting vocals]
of your stare
[Chorus]
The light in your eyes, fading to a coal
Falling into darkness, a story left untold
I clutch at your memory, a lifeline frayed and thin
But how do you hold onto someone who wants to lose their skin?
[instrumental solo]
[Verse 2]
Your laugh used to be a symphony, a melody so bright
Now it's a discordant whisper, swallowed by the night
The warmth you radiated, a distant ember's glow
Replaced by a chilling emptiness, a place where nothing grows
[Pre-Chorus]
We were supposed to paint the sunrise with our dreams
But your brushstrokes turn to ash, it all just seems
Like a cruel joke, a play with a twisted end
The curtain falling on a love we couldn't mend
[Chorus]
The light in your eyes, fading to a coal
Falling into darkness, a story left untold
I clutch at your memory, a lifeline frayed and thin
But how do you hold onto someone who wants to lose your skin?
[Bridge]
Screaming isn't heard in the vacuum you've made
My words fall flat, a hollow serenade
I'm a shipwreck on the shores of your despair
And the only wreckage left is the love we used to share
[Instrumental Refrain]
[Chorus]
The light in your eyes, fading to a coal
Falling into darkness, a story left untold
I clutch at your memory, a lifeline frayed and thin
But how do you hold onto someone who wants to lose your skin?
[Aggressive Outro]
So I let you go, a whisper in the storm
A fading ember, lost to keep you warm
With a broken heart, I watch you disappear
The love of my life, drowning in her own fear
