Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Worn out shoes upon a floor of grey
Every tick of the clock steals another day
I trace the lines upon the window pane
Hoping for a face, but nothing remains
The silence here is heavy, a concrete tomb
Just the shadows stretching out across the room
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't recall the color of the sky outside
Or the reason for the feelings I try to hide
[Chorus]
Down, down where the memories all fade to dust
Lost, lost to the promises I couldn't trust
Spinning in a current, pulling me below
Echoes in the quiet, where did the feeling go?
Just a hollow space where the light used to shine Is this world mine?
Or just a hidden design?
[Verse 2]
Hear the humming of the wires in the wall
A lonely, constant drone that answers every call
I rearrange the artifacts of time
Searching for a pattern, a reason, or a sign
The mirror shows a stranger staring back at me
A vessel made of glass for all the world to see
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't recall the rhythm of the laugh we shared
Or the simple warmth of knowing someone cared
[Chorus]
Down, down where the memories all fade to dust
Lost, lost to the promises I couldn't trust
Spinning in a current, pulling me below
Echoes in the quiet, where did the feeling go?
Just a hollow space where the light used to shine Is this world mine?
Or just a hidden design?
[Bridge]
And I hold onto the threads, afraid to let them break
For the final piece of soul this silence wants to take
I built this wall around myself, brick by slow brick
Now I'm praying for a hammer, something hard and quick...
[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Down, down where the memories all fade to dust
Lost, lost to the promises I couldn't trust
Spinning in a current, pulling me below
Echoes in the quiet, where did the feeling go?
Just a hollow space where the light used to shine Is this world mine?
Or just a hidden design?
[Outro]
Fade to dust...
Where did it go? (Spinning low...)
Is this mine?
Fade to dust...
