A recorded reading of “I Left My Name in the Dark”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
I left my name where silence fed— a breathless room where I once bled. It wasn’t taken, wasn’t cried— it simply faded, then it died. You say my name, but not my core— I haunt your voice, but I’m no more.
Lyrics
I left my name In the dark Where shadows breathe And silence sparks It wasn’t stolen Wasn’t torn It slipped like fog The day I mourned Now when they speak They don’t mean me I’m someone else In memory I left my name in the dark A whispered thread in broken bark The stars forgot what I once said And now I haunt myself instead You hold a picture, but it lies The girl you knew Already died The mirror asks But I don’t know Who’s standing still In undertow A name is sound But I’m the lack Of everything I won’t get back You say you miss But not the soul You miss a shape I can’t control I left my name in the dark A whispered thread in broken bark The stars forgot what I once said And now I haunt myself instead You hold a picture, but it lies The girl you knew Already died Names can fade Like dust on glass You said forever But let me pass I left my name in the dark Where time unthreads each beating mark I could come back But not as me I’m what you lost Unwillingly
