[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
