Fade to Black

(Verse 1)

The air hangs heavy, thick with unspoken doubt

Dust motes dance in the fading light, shadows stretch out

Empty chairs hold the ghosts of whispered dreams

Laughter's echo mocks, a fading, haunting theme

(Chorus)

Fade to black, the colors slowly bleed

Leaving hues of heartache, where joy used to feed

Love's melody stumbles, chords lost in the fray

A final note hangs suspended, whispers of yesterday

(Verse 2)

Fingertips trace memories on a windowpane

Blurred reflections, a love we couldn't sustain

Words left unsaid, choked back by salty tears

Promises broken, echoing through empty years

(Chorus)

Fade to black, the colors slowly bleed

Leaving hues of heartache, where joy used to feed

Love's melody stumbles, chords lost in the fray

A final note hangs suspended, whispers of yesterday

(Bridge)

But amidst the darkness, a flicker may remain

A spark of hope, defying sorrow's rain

Though the path ahead is veiled in uncertain light

We stumble onwards, guided by the moon's soft night

(Chorus)

Fade to black, the colors slowly bleed

Leaving hues of heartache, where joy used to feed

Love's melody stumbles, chords lost in the fray

But a new song awaits, whispers of a brand new day

(Outro)

Fade to black, then fade to dawn

A heart may mend, though battles may be fought and won

Scars remain, but the sun will rise again

Painting futures unknown, with colors yet unseen
