“Echoes in the Haze”
4. Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the grip of the midnight moon, I’m chasing shadows in the room,
Casting spells on sleep deprived, in the corners where we hide.
Silhouettes and phantom dreams, dancing in between the seams,
Hidden tales from the abyss, lost in an endless kiss.
(Chorus)
Echoes in the haze, lost in this maze,
We’re just playing parts in this cosmic charade.
Can you hear the sound, spinning round and round,
In these echoes in the haze, is where we’re found.
(Verse 2)
Walking on the edge of time, we’re poets without rhyme,
Whispering secrets to the breeze, lost in a timeless freeze.
Stars aligned in a mystic dance, lost in this trance,
In the fog of forgotten lore, we’re knocking on heaven’s door.
(Chorus)
Echoes in the haze, lost in this maze,
We’re just stardust sparks in a cosmic blaze.
Can you see the light, in the dead of night,
In these echoes in the haze, we ignite.
(Bridge)
In the quiet corners of our mind, treasures we’re meant to find,
In the labyrinth of our soul, finding peace is our only goal.
With each echo, a piece of the puzzle, in this cosmic hustle,
In the haze, we’re lost and found, in this love that knows no bound.
(Chorus)
Echoes in the haze, lost in this maze,
We’re just cosmic echoes in a timeless phrase.
Can you feel the vibe, in this celestial tribe,
In these echoes in the haze, we’re alive.
(Outro)
As the dawn breaks the night, we bathe in the morning light,
In the echoes of the haze, we find our might.
