Lyric

Flashing stars are blurring the dark tonight

Circuits of the mind are shorting out of sight

Noise is pouring down from a sky of leaden gray

Holding back my breath, searching for the way

Watching as the signal starts to fray

High and far, the sound of a vow begins to ring

Hiding an uncertain tomorrow behind the screen

Every time the swaying shadows overlap and play

I embrace a light that’s bound to fade away

Clutching what remains at the end of day

An old monitor slices through the silent air

As a cold wind blows through the streets of despair

Staring at your profile, the words have all gone

Returning unreached feelings to the rubble at dawn

Where the ghosts of data are drawn

Deep and wide, across the digital network

Chasing after warmth that dissolves in the dark

Until my quiet prayer reaches the hollow sky

I leave my heart in a peace where the shadows lie

Watching as the pulses of the city die

The lanterns go out, one by one, in the street

When the world returns to a silence so sweet

We finally notice the beauty in things that pass

Engraving this moment, like breath upon the glass

Nothing stays forever, even us

High and far, the sound of a vow begins to ring

Hiding an uncertain tomorrow behind the screen

Every time the swaying shadows overlap and play

I embrace a light that’s bound to fade away

At the edge of this night, I’ll stay

At the end of the night

The vow remains

Behind the screen
