Where shadows learned my name
I stopped chasing the sun the day shadows learned my name,
I found stillness in their rhythm where every day was the same,
Where I didn't hide the demons in my mind,
Where I could drop the face I wore in the light,
I thrive in silence, in the lengthy stretch of nights,
I wear a shiny crown among the armoured knights,
Each one a dear friend, I talk to them all day,
For whispers never avoided me when I chose them to stay,
A flame in me is still alight, I feel it in my veins,
The rush within them reminds me my way,
Each day a weary bridge, I calmly walk across,
For roads were never built for me, I had to choose my path,
Yet in all the chaos, the flame in my heart never died,
I bleed even darker into unwritten nights,
The journey isn't safe, for I've learned in a hard way,
No matter what the night, I choose to never fade...
