Intro
(Mm-hmm)
It didn't break
It just faded
Verse 1
Marrow of my bones used to glow
Carrying a quiet light alone
Time crept in like mold on walls
Staining every single thing that falls
Rot does not leave when eyes close
Breathes in the dark where nobody goes
Pre-Chorus
It was not sudden
It was not loud
Just a whisper under the cloud
Chorus
Washed out and gray
Faith has drifted off today
Gave way until it was gone
Hard to keep holding on
Ghosts that refuse to leave
Better to let them grieve
Something is missing in this space
Watching the ruins we embrace
Instrumental
Verse 2
Every promise turned porous and thin
Water leaking through the skin
Held it tight till it slipped through
Everything that I once knew
Dreams corroded at the very edge
Pushing me off of the ledge
Pre-Chorus
You do not notice
When belief starts to break
When everything is finally at stake
Chorus
Dissolved into the grit
Fighting for every little bit
Quiet gray across the room
Flowers that will never bloom
Empty hands are shaking
Hearts that are slowly breaking
Trying to find the final spark
Hiding inside of the dark
Guitar Solo
Bridge
If I dig through the ruin
Tell me what is doing
Searching for something left to trust
Blowing away like heavy dust
Chorus
But I felt it once
After all these lonely months
Even if it slipped away
Real things tend to stay
Buried deep where it can't rot
The only piece I have got
Pulse is hiding in the chest
Letting the weary mind rest
Outro
It did not die
It just changed
All of it rearranged
