Counting Shadows by Girard
Counting Shadows
Verse 1:
In the silence of the night, I lie awake
Staring at the ceiling, feeling every ache
Shadows dance above me, flicker in the dark
Every hour’s passing like a distant lark
Pre-Chorus:
And the (clock keeps ticking,) mocking every breath
In this endless midnight,( I’m) a prisoner of regret
Chorus:
Counting shadows, counting the hours
Lost in the twilight, beneath the moon’s pale power
Every whisper of the night, a haunting melody
Counting shadows,( where sleep will never be)
Verse 2:
I trace the patterns on the wall, my mind’s a storm
Every shadow’s twisting, every shape’s deformed
Memories collide with dreams that never were
In this sleepless void,( my thoughts start to blur)
Pre-Chorus:
And the stars keep shining, indifferent to my plight
In this darkened silence, (I’m consumed by endless night)
Chorus:
Counting shadows, counting the hours
Lost in the twilight, beneath the moon’s pale power
Every whisper of the night, a haunting melody
Counting shadows, (where sleep will never be)
Bridge:
Time’s a cruel illusion, slipping through my hands
Each second stretches out like grains of desert sand
In the depth of darkness, where nightmares softly creep
I’m caught between the waking world and dreams I cannot keep
Chorus:
Counting shadows, counting the hours
Lost in the twilight, beneath the moon’s pale power
Every whisper of the night, a haunting melody
Counting shadows,( where sleep will never be)
Outro:
So I’ll keep counting shadows, through the endless night
Hoping for the morning, for the dawn’s first light
But until that moment, in the silence deep
I’ll keep counting shadows, while the world is fast asleep
