Song Lyrics:

(Verses)
Am – G – F – E
In the winding labyrinth of words, (Am)
We find ourselves lost and unheard, (G)
In the echoes of our own solitude, (F)
We weave stories, our hearts exude. (E)

(Chorus)
Dm – Am – C – G
Woven solitude, our tapestry, (Dm)
Spun with threads of our unique mystery, (Am)
In this world so vast and wide, (C)
We are sparse, yet together we reside. (G)

(Verse)
Tales of joy, tales of sorrow, (Am)
In every note, we borrow, (G)
Each strum, a heartbeat in the night, (F)
In our songs, we ignite. (E)

(Chorus)
Our woven solitude, a work of art, (Dm)
A testament to our disjointed heart, (Am)
In the music, we find our guide, (C)
We are sparse, yet together we ride. (G)
