Title: “Voices in the Dark”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Am] You are whispers in the night, [G]
Echoes in the corners of my mind [F]
[Am] Shadows dance across the walls, [G]
I hear your voice as the twilight falls [F]

(Chorus)
[C] Voices in the dark, [G]
Calling out my name
[Am] I’m lost in your echo,
[F] I’ll never be the same.

(Verse 2)
[Am] In the stillness of the night, [G]
Your memory takes flight [F]
[Am] The silence is too loud, [G]
I’m lost in the crowd, but you’re not around [F]

(Chorus)
[C] Voices in the dark, [G]
Pulling at my heart
[Am] Without you here, [F]
Everything just falls apart.

(Bridge)
[Dm] I’m reaching out, [G]
Can’t you see?
[Am] Your voice, your echo,
[F] It’s the only thing that’s left of me

(Chorus)
[C] Voices in the dark, [G]
They’re tearing me apart
[Am] I’m holding on, [F]
But you’re already gone

(Outro)
[C] Voices in the dark, [G]
A melody, a spark
[Am] Your echo lingers on, [F]
In every song.
