Fading Ember

[Verse]
I haunt the corners
Shadows my stage
A flicker of whispers
Trapped in a cage
They pass right through me
No echo
No page
[Chorus]
Turn the lights out
Let my flame fade
I'm just a ghost in the mess I've made
No fight left
No war to wage
Turn the lights out
Let my flame fade
[Verse 2]
Words are ashes
Scattered in the wind
Every thought stolen
Every voice pinned
What’s left of me? A story with no end
[Prechorus]
I reach but nothing holds
I speak but no one knows
[Chorus]
Turn the lights out
Let my flame fade
I'm just a ghost in the mess I've made
No fight left
No war to wage
Turn the lights out
Let my flame fade
[Bridge]
I’m a shadow's shadow
A silent scream
A ripple in the fabric of someone’s dream
I was here
Or so it seemed

minimal, piano-driven with female vocals, sad, melancholic
