[Verse] Blinding glare burns my skin raw Truth's too sharp to swallow whole Light screams loud it won't let me go [Prechorus] But shadows whisper low low low They call me where the quiet grows [Chorus] Into the shadows I run I run Find me there where the dark's undone Leave the light it weighs like chains Shadows sing they know my name [Verse 2] Every corner hides a piece of me Fragments lost in light's decree Shadows hold what I couldn't see [Prechorus] They pull me soft they pull me slow Where the light can't make me show [Chorus] Into the shadows I run I run Find me there where the dark's undone Leave the light it blinds my veins Shadows hum they know my name [Verse 3] In the hush beneath my trembling bones I hear truth in whispered tones Darkness isn’t where I disappear It’s where my scattered thoughts grow clear [Prechorus] They breathe me in, they let me grow In their calm I finally know [Chorus] (double for length) Into the shadows I run I run Find me whole where the fear comes undone Light can’t claim what it can’t contain Shadows rise they speak my name Into the shadows I run I run Pulling me where the quiet’s begun Hold me close they numb the flame Shadows rise they speak my name [Verse 4] No more fighting what the daylight breaks No more drowning in my own mistakes Shadows cradle what the truth awakes Making peace with all my aches [Prechorus] They guide me through their steady glow Not the sun but something close [Long Bridge] Take me deeper past the noise Past the echoes of old choice Where the dark is soft and slow Where the broken parts can grow Let the daylight fade from me Let the quiet set me free In the dark I see my face Not diluted, not erased Let me rest where the shadows bloom Where the silence fills the room Where the weight of light is gone And the night keeps holding on [Final Chorus] (double again for duration) Into the shadows I run I run Where my heartbeat learns to stun Leave the light its brittle reign Shadows guard the spark I gained Into the shadows I run I run Find me whole where I’ve become Not the person light constrained Shadows whisper my true name [Outro] Soft and low they call me home In the dark I’m not alone Let the quiet take its claim Shadows stay… and speak my name
