Verse 1:
Walking through these empty halls
Hear the echoes of my endless falls
Shadows whisper, calling my name
In this silent, suffocating game
Pre-Chorus:
Can't escape the grip, it holds me tight
In the thick of day, in the dead of night

Melancholic shadows, dancing on my walls
Pulling me deeper, as hope slowly falls
In the heart of darkness, I'm reaching for a sign
But these melancholic shadows, they never leave my mind
Verse 2:
Tears that never seem to dry
Underneath a painted sky
Lost in thoughts I cannot flee
Trapped within a haunting spree
Pre-Chorus:
Every smile a mask, every laugh a ghost
Fighting for the one I miss the most
Chorus:
Melancholic shadows, dancing on my walls
Pulling me deeper, as hope slowly falls
In the heart of darkness, I'm reaching for a sign
But these melancholic shadows, they never leave my mind
Bridge:
Dreams of light are fading fast
Memories of joy, they seldom last
Hold on tight, to the thread of me
In this sea of gray, I'm longing to be free
Chorus:
Melancholic shadows, dancing on my walls
Pulling me deeper, as hope slowly falls
In the heart of darkness, I'm reaching for a sign
But these melancholic shadows, they never leave my mind

Silent whispers, in the still of night
I keep fighting, searching for the light
But these melancholic shadows, forever they bind
In the depths of my soul, they will always find
