The Dimming

Start

Verse 1

Sunlight bleeds through tattered curtain walls

I've been awake for days, my vision blurs and falls

The pills I took to numb this emptiness inside

Just left me hollow, drained, with nowhere left to hide

Pre-Chorus

Each second ticks like thunder in my veins

Your absence growing louder than the pouring rain

I've tried to wash away the stains you left on me

But they've sunk deeper than my eyes can ever see

Chorus

The dimming of the light, I can't escape

These shadows follow close, my soul to take

Your memory like smoke, it won't erase

As darkness falls again, I fade away

Post-Chorus

Fading, fading, fading out

Fading, fading, can you hear me now?[Chorus]

The dimming of the light, I can't escape

These shadows follow close, my soul to take

Your memory like smoke, it won't erase

As darkness falls again, I fade away

Post-Chorus

Fading, fading, fading out

Fading, fading, can you hear me now?

Verse 2

Bottles on the floor like stepping stones

The radio plays songs we used to know

My pupils dilate with the rising moon

The neighbors hear my cries but they don't move

Pre-Chorus

I crawl through the wreckage of what's left behind

The dimming gets stronger with each passing night

These walls keep on closing, there's nowhere to hide

As daylight surrenders, so do I

Chorus

The dimming of the light, I can't escape

These shadows follow close, my soul to take

Your memory like smoke, it won't erase

As darkness falls again, I fade away

Post-Chorus

Fading, fading, fading out

Fading, fading, can you hear me now?[Bridge]

The mirror shows a stranger wearing my disguise

The clock hands spinning backwards through my wasted time

I'm screaming in a room where no one hears a sound

My heartbeat faint and shallow as it's winding down

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus

The dimming of the light, I can't escape

These shadows follow close, my soul to take

Your memory like smoke, it won't erase

As darkness falls again, I fade away[Verse 3]

Morning light creeps in but brings no warmth

My body's here but mind has long since gone

The photographs I burned still haunt these walls

The silence screams your name through empty halls

Pre-Chorus

I'm drowning in the shadows of your ghost

Of all the demons here, I fear you most

The needle skips on records worn too thin

As I replay the nightmare we've been in

Chorus

The dimming of the light, I can't escape

These shadows follow close, my soul to take

Your memory like smoke, it won't erase

As darkness falls again, I fade away

Post-Chorus

Fading, fading, fading out

Fading, fading, can you hear me now?

Final Outro

The world outside continues on its way

While I dissolve in shades of disarray

I close my eyes and breathe one last goodbye

The dimming's almost done, I've lost the fight

(Lost the fight)
