THE SAME 8

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] This evening’s stitched for tears, threadbare and thin You read my chaos when the whiskey set in Your laugh was a spark that outshone the dim I’ll hold it close, where the quiet sinks in [Verse 2] I pried open drawers crammed with ghosts I can’t mend Trinkets of us that the dark won’t defend Rain’s carving holes in the hollow I tend Just like it did when you said the end [Pre-Chorus] A word slips loose, sharp as winter’s first breeze Cuts through the frost like a sunlit release A window cracked on a day that won’t freeze A memory I can’t quite cease [Chorus] If I vanished tonight, slipped into the black NOTHING WOULD CHANGE NOTHING WOULD CHANGE NOTHING WOULD CHANGE The world would keep turning, no looking back [Interlude] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 3] This evening still bleeds the same salt-stained tune You still know the cracks where my defenses bloom Your laugh echoes soft in the empty room I’ll carry it till the dark consumes [Verse 4] I sorted through junk that won’t fill up the space Left by the love that slipped without trace Rain’s still beating down on my hollowed-out place Matching the rhythm of my broken embrace [Pre-Chorus] A word drifts by, cold as a winter’s sigh Blows through the quiet where the memories lie A window thrown open to a sky that won’t die A ghost that won’t let me say goodbye [Chorus] If I vanished tonight, slipped into the black NOTHING WOULD CHANGE NOTHING WOULD CHANGE NOTHING WOULD CHANGE The world would keep turning, no looking back [Interlude] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge] The sun will climb high, paint the sky amber gold The ocean will roar, the waves will still roll Mountains will stand tall, unshaken, untold People will rush past, blind to the hole [Bridge 2] Silence tastes like tears on my tongue right now I cried till my bones forgot how to bow Like I haven’t in years, let the flood wash me out Drowned in the quiet where your shadow’s still allowed [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
