Stranded In A Memory

(Verse 1)
I woke up in a room that doesn’t exist
Flickering lights and a photograph twist
Your voice plays backwards in my head
Like a tape that won’t admit it’s dead

(Pre-Chorus)
I reach for the door but it’s painted shut
Every heartbeat’s a glitch, every breath corrupt

(Chorus)
Stranded in a memory, no way out
Echoes scream what I can’t shout
Time forgot to carry me home
So I rot here, skin and bone
Stranded in a memory, you won’t fade
I’m the ghost that love betrayed

(Verse 2)
The walls replay our final fight
Looped in static, day and night
Your name’s a virus in my veins
I bleed nostalgia, I breathe the pain

(Pre-Chorus)
I claw at the silence, it claws back
Every second’s a trap, every dream’s off track

(Chorus)
Stranded in a memory, no way out
Echoes scream what I can’t shout
Time forgot to carry me home
So I rot here, skin and bone
Stranded in a memory, you won’t fade
I’m the ghost that love betrayed

(Bridge)
I built a shrine from broken clocks
Lit it with the fire of all we lost
But the ashes spell your name again
And I’m stuck in this never-when

(Final Chorus)
Stranded in a memory, no escape
Your shadow wears my shape
Time forgot to carry me home
So I rot here, skin and bone
Stranded in a memory, you won’t fade
I’m the ghost that love betrayed
