[Intro]
[Verse]
The marks upon the page are thin and cold
A signature of stories left untold
Just a crossing of the paths within the mind
Searching for the pieces left behind
No more maps to guide the wayward soul
Losing every fragment of control
[Pre-Chorus]
The ink begins to bleed into the white
A single point of focus in the night
It doesn’t need a name to feel the weight
Of every heavy choice and silent fate
[Chorus]
One strike against the fading of the light
The intersection where the black and white ignite
It’s the shape of everything we never said
A thousand different voices in my head
Mark the spot and let the moment break
Giving back the secrets that we take
[Verse]
Parallel and pulling at the seams
Tearing through the fabric of our dreams
Gravity is heavy on the bone
Standing in the center all alone
No more looking back at where we stood
Leaving all the bad and all the good
[Bridge]
It’s a zero, it’s a target, it’s a sign
The final inch of every finish line
Divide the heart and multiply the pain
Until there’s nothing solid to remain
[Chorus]
One strike against the fading of the light
The intersection where the black and white ignite
It’s the shape of everything we never said
A thousand different voices in my head
Mark the spot and let the moment break
Giving back the secrets that we takeJust a mark
Just a ghost
Where we needed it the most
Fading out
The hollow sound
Of the shadows on the ground
