Melancholy

[Verse 1] Inside – no sound, no gleam. Only grey expanse, no dream. All erased, washed clean, all hollow. Walls keep mute, the air is heavy to swallow. Falling sounds – no echo replied. Shadows froze – but none stayed by my side. [Chorus] Melancholy… Silence screams louder than words… No one is ready for this hurt. No one… [Verse 2] Day is fading – gives no warmth. Light won't shine – just smoulders forth. Footsteps feel like falling down. Breaths are just a fragile frown. Threads are torn – no trace remains. Voice won't hold in any place, in any chains. [Chorus] Melancholy… Silence screams louder than words… No one is ready for this hurt. No one… [Bridge] (voice cracks into a cry / strain) I call – but no one will hear me! I reach – but no one will take! I knock – but no one will open! In this world, they don't wait for my sake! I exist – but for all I'm a ghost! I am void… I am light that's lost… That faded away… That died in the grey… That no one will recall. Not once. Not today. [Chorus] (slowed, almost spoken) Melancholy… Silence… louder than words… No one is ready for this hurt… [Outro] (whispered, fading) No one… No one…
