A hauntingly beautiful ballad capturing the essence of lost love and the cruel reality of growing up. 'Innocence Lost' reflects on the feelings of heartbreak and vulnerability, intertwining the elements of nostalgia and the painful realization of mortality. With its melancholy undertones, this song perfectly accompanies a pivotal moment in a horror movie where the protagonist grapples with the emptiness left by a vanished love, all while remaining trapped in the small town that has witnessed countless escapes.
Verse 1:
In a small town where the shadows creep,
We were young, wild, and reckless, running deep.
With dreams that shimmered like the stars above,
Never knew the cost of our fleeting love.
Chorus:
Oh, innocence lost, it slipped through my hands,
Like grains of sand on those forgotten strands.
Youthful hearts, once invincible, now torn,
In the echo of laughter, all that’s left is scorn.
Verse 2:
We danced in fields where the wildflowers bloom,
Thought we’d conquer the world, escape this tomb.
But love turned ghostly in the moon’s cold light,
Left me inside this empty shell of the night.
Chorus:
Oh, innocence lost, it slipped through my hands,
Like grains of sand on those forgotten strands.
Youthful hearts, once invincible, now torn,
In the echo of laughter, all that’s left is scorn.
Bridge:
I watch them leave, with dreams in their eyes,
While shadows whisper all my goodbyes.
Each vacant street sings an old, sad tale,
Of a boy who believed he could never fail.
Verse 3:
And now I stand, with my heart in my throat,
Chasing memories of the love I once wrote.
As the night descends, and the darkness swells,
I’m lost in the silence of unspoken spells.
Chorus:
Oh, innocence lost, it slipped through my hands,
Like grains of sand on those forgotten strands.
Youthful hearts, once invincible, now torn,
In the echo of laughter, all that’s left is scorn.
Outro:
So here’s to the nights when we dared to dream,
With a taste of sorrow that makes life seem,
Like a bittersweet melody fading away,
In this small town where I’m destined to stay.

The song should have a melancholy feel and will play under a pivotal scene in a horror movie where the main character has lost their true love, and are in a bad place. the writer comes from a small town where they have watched others escape, but remain stuck there themselves. Song should be lyric driven and in the style of a cross between the killers, caamp, avett brothers, the growlers, and billy strings
