ECHO IN THE UNDERTOW
[Verse 1]
The tide pulls me in when the lights go low
Your name still echoes in the undertow
No map, no trace, just the air you bend
I reach for you where the night won’t end
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’ve been sailing blind, chasing your ghost
Waves don’t lie—they cut the most
[Chorus]
You’re my midnight flame
Still burning after the oceans came
You whisper through the storm, soft and slow
The deeper I dive, the less I know
No shore in sight, no rescue light—
But I’d drown again if it felt this right
[Verse 2]
You speak in silence, in a sacred key
A song that lingers just out of reach
Salt and smoke in the air I breathe
Where you touched the tide—it won’t ever leave
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Still adrift where you let go
Your current knows what I won’t show
[Chorus]
You’re my midnight flame
Still burning after the oceans came
You whisper through the storm, soft and slow
The deeper I dive, the less I know
No shore in sight, no rescue light—
But I’d drown again if it felt this right
[Bridge – Extended Moment / Open Vocal]
Dark horizon, compass spun
What we had can’t be outrun
You pulled the captain out of me
Now I’m lost in memory’s sea
[Final Chorus]
You’re my midnight flame
Still burning where the water came
You whisper through the storm, soft and slow
The deeper I go, the less I know
No shore in sight, no rescue light—
But I’d drown again if it felt this right
[Outro]
Still haunted... still haunted...
By that midnight... flame...
