In the still of the night, where shadows creep The ghosts of my choices, they silently weep They dance in my mind, where memories tread Whispers of what ifs, echoes of dread Flickering lights of a life I’ve lived Where dreams once soared, now a void they give The weight of the years, the toll it’s taken In the quietest hours, my soul is shaken When the night falls, and the darkness speaks I’m haunted by echoes of dreams that I seek Closing my eyes, where silence lies Wishing this pain would fade, and I could rise The mirror shows a face, worn and thin A reflection of battles I’ve fought from within The stars overhead, they seem so far Lost in the void, wishing on a star The ticking of time, a relentless chime Echoes of past regrets, a haunting rhyme In the stillness, my fears take flight In the darkest corners of the night When the night falls, and the darkness speaks I’m haunted by echoes of dreams that I seek Closing my eyes, where silence lies Wishing this pain would fade, and I could rise When the night falls, and the darkness speaks I’m haunted by echoes of dreams that I seek Closing my eyes, where silence lies Wishing this pain would fade, and I could rise Oh, the ghosts of my yesterdays They whisper of paths and broken ways In the quiet abyss, where hope seems thin I long for the peace I’ve never been When the night falls, and the darkness speaks I’m haunted by echoes of dreams that I seek Closing my eyes, where silence lies Wishing this pain would fade, and I could rise When the night falls, and the darkness speaks I’m haunted by echoes of dreams that I seek Closing my eyes, where silence lies Wishing this pain would fade, and I could rise In the silence of night, where my thoughts confide I close my eyes once more, with the ghosts beside For in the final sleep, where the darkness weaves I seek the solace that the waking never achieves
