Silhouettes and Dust

(Intro - Gentle, atmospheric piano with soft cello)

(C Major - Am - F - G)

(Verse 1)

The clock has swallowed all our time

The sunset bled into the wine

Our final words are hanging in the air

Unfinished threads, a vacant chair

And in this slow and fading light

I memorize your profile, right

Against the window, soon to be

A ghost that's haunting only me

(Pre-Chorus)

The door is holding its goodbye

A whisper in a silent sigh

I feel the future turning rust...

(Chorus)

So we become silhouettes and dust

A beautiful and broken trust

We float on echoes of a vow

I'm losing who I'm without you now

This room, a museum of our us

We're fading into silhouettes and dust

(Melody soars here on "without you now")

(Verse 2)

I'll pack the laughter in a box

Beneath your scarf and forgotten socks

The photograph that stole your smile

Will linger for a little while

And every corner of this place

Will wear the shadow of your face

A gentle, unforgiving trace

(Pre-Chorus)

The world outside seems less defined

I'm leaving all we knew behind

And feeling all the future's rust...

(Chorus)

And we become silhouettes and dust

A beautiful and broken trust

We float on echoes of a vow

I'm losing who I'm without you now

This room, a museum of our us

We're fading into silhouettes and dust

(Bridge)

Was it the season's turn, or just the wind?

A gentle, tragic, quiet end

No storm, no fire, just the gentle tide

That pulled you softly from my side...

And in the calm, I understand

The slowest break is by design

It leaves your fingerprints on mine

(Music swells, then drops to just piano)

(Final Chorus - More intimate, raw)

So we're just silhouettes and dust

A beautiful and broken trust

I'm clinging to an echo of a vow

Who do I become without you now?

This love, a museum of our us...

I'm fading into silhouettes and dust...

(Outro)

Silhouettes... and dust...

(Pamine note held, single piano notes ring out, fading to silence)

(F - G - C)
