Something Forgotten

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I wake beneath a ceiling made of grey

Another morning asking me to stay

Numbers on the paper wires in my hands

Trying to understand a world that never understands

They tell me build something real

Something you can touch something you can feel

But somewhere underneath the noise

A thousand forgotten worlds still have a voice

Pre-Chorus

So I close my eyes

And the ordinary dies

A raven takes flight in the dark

And every broken tale becomes a spark

Chorus

I'm walking between circuits and shadows

Between what I am and what I could be

With one foot in the world of reason

And one where the dead still speak to me

I build my kingdoms out of nothing

Give names to ghosts nobody knows

Maybe I'm lost maybe I'm dreaming

But I refuse to let them go

Verse 2

I've watched a wizard bargain with the dead

A pirate wake beside a sword stained red

A lonely skeleton wonder who he was

A dying man still searching for a cause

I've seen the exile hate his home

Then miss the sea when left alone

I've watched a broken paladin swear

That even monsters deserve someone who cares

Pre-Chorus

And when the real world gets too loud

I disappear into the crowd

Of warriors monsters kings and fools

Where broken things can still make rules

Chorus

I'm walking between circuits and shadows

Between what I am and what I could be

With one foot in the world of reason

And one where the dead still speak to me

I build my kingdoms out of nothing

Give names to ghosts nobody knows

Maybe I'm lost maybe I'm dreaming

But I refuse to let them go

Bridge

Maybe I'm not searching for a hero

Maybe I never was

Maybe I just want to prove

That something forgotten

Can still matter

Final Chorus

I'm walking between circuits and shadows

And I don't need to choose tonight

Let the equations fill my mornings

I'll keep my monsters for the night

Let the real world call me foolish

Let the dark keep calling my name

I'll keep creating little worlds

Where the forgotten rise again

Outro

So if you find me staring at the ceiling

Don't ask me where I've gone

I'm somewhere between the wires

And the shadows

Building another world

Before the morning comes
