Silent Screams

(Delicate piano and eerie synths)

Whispers in the darkness, shadows creep,

Echoes of a past that never sleeps.

In the night, I see their faces,

Haunting me through time and spaces.

A dance of ghosts beneath my skin,

Each nightmare pulls me back again.

I wake to find the silence loud,

A shroud of memories, I’m lost in the crowd.

Time slips through like shattered glass,

Caught in the echoes of the past.

(Complex harmonizing)

Oh, take me away from the glowing embers,

To a place where the dawn remembers.

In a labyrinth of dreams, I fight to break free,

But the chains of the night cling close to me.

Cacophony of shadows, they sway and sway,

Rhythms shifting like night turns to day.

Each heartbeat a drum, a fractured time,

Tangled stark truths in a twisted rhyme.

In dreams where terror drips like rain,

The taste of anguish, the weight of pain.

Every recall, a tempest's tide,

In restless sleep, the past won't hide.

(Choral harmonizing)

Oh, take me away from the glowing embers,

To a place where the dawn remembers.

In a labyrinth of dreams, I fight to break free,

But the chains of the night cling close to me.

(Sonic shift, odd-time signatures)

Chase the specters, run from the light,

In fractured hours, traumas ignite.

Melodies twist with polyrhythmic grace,

A haunting score in this darkened space.

(Slowing down, eerie tones)

As dawn breaks slowly, colors fade,

Whispers haunt me, buried, laid.

In fractured silence, I finally see,

The nightmares fade, but they still breathe.

(Soft fading harmonies)

They still breathe…
