Arcane

I walked the places where you lived
Inside the corners of my mind
Your name still echoes through the halls
Of every dream you left behind
There's something sacred in the ache
A quiet glow beneath the pain
I trace the shadows of your light
And I still you like prayer again

And though the sky is falling slow
I feel you breathing in the air
A memory I can't outgrow
A ghost that's still unbearably fair

You're the arcane part of me
The hidden truth I couldn't keep
A fading light beneath my ribs
That burns me every time I sleep
I reach for you in every dawn
Every silence I can't tame
And though the world moves on without us
My heart still answers to your name

I see you shadow in the gold
Of every morning breaking slow
The life we almost had still shines
In place only I can go
The echoes linger in my chest
They never learned to fade way
It hurts but God it feels like home
The kind of pain I choose to stay

And every step takes me to you
No matter where I try to stand
The map of everything I am
Still traces back to where you ran

You're the arcane part of me
The hidden truth I couldn't keep
A fading light beneath my ribs
That burns me every time I sleep
I reach for you in every dawn
Every silence I can't tame
And though the world moves on without us
My heart still answers to your name
[My heart still answers to your name]

If I could tear the sky apart
And find the place we almost were
I'd hold the fragments of that life
And left them cut and let them hurt
Cause losing you was losing me
And every dream still bleeds your face
In every acho of my soul
I feel your absence like a grace

You're the arcane part of me
The quiet truth I couldn't flee
A sacred wound I learned to love
The last bright scar you left in me
I reach for you through all the years
Through every dawn that feels the same
And though the heavens keep their silence
My heart still whispers out your name
And in the dark when no one sees

You're still the arcane part of me
