Whisper in the Dark

Lonely chords falling slow
Like footsteps where I should not go
Fender twangs cut through the night
A whisper flickers, out my sight

I walk the line no map can show
Through empty streets the cold winds blow
Something's missing and I don't know
A shadow I was meant to know

It is not sorrow, it is not joy
It's just a silence I can't destroy

Whispers in the dark, they call my name
A quiet hunger I can't explain
Not love, not loss, but still a mark
I'm left with whispers in the dark

The stars look close but fade away
The night turns silver into gray
I reach for something, it's just a spark
But all I find, whispers in the dark

It's not a wound, it's not a flame
It's not a truth I can't reclaim
It's just a space where I belong
A quiet note in an endless song
A fleeting shadow of solitude
A quiet gift when I'm subdued
It doesn't hurt, it comforts me
A fragile breath of liberty

Whispers in the dark, they call my name
Always returning, always the same
They do not wound, they don't annoy
These shadows speak, they give me joy

Whispers, in the dark
Whispers, in the dark.
