Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I went lookin’ for the lost, down in the well

Where the silence grows teeth, and shadows swell

I thought I could carry the night on my back

But the night whispered truths I can’t give back

[Verse 2]

I walked through fire just to feel the freeze

Made peace with monsters that begged me to leave

They didn’t bite, just held out a hand

Said, “If you bleed for light, you don’t understand.”

[Pre-Chorus]

Do we come back whole from where the shadows crawl

Or does the void remember everything after all

[Chorus]

Every time I go into the darkness,

It leaves a mark that turns to hardness,

Some of the dark, it stayed in me

Left fingerprints I’ll never see

Came back breathing, but not quite free

The darkness took something from me

But I fight anyway…

[Verse 3]

A version of me with hollow eyes

That whispers all my old goodbyes

He knows the truth I try to flee—

That part of the dark still lives in me

[Verse 4]

Only if you call your name

Through every shame and every flame

I walked through fire just to see—

Some of the dark came back as me

[Pre-Chorus]

When you stare into the dark, what stares back

Something smiling through the pitch-black.

[Chorus]

Every time I go into the darkness,

It leaves a mark that turns to hardness,

Some of the dark, it stayed in me

Left fingerprints I’ll never see

Came back breathing, but not quite free

The darkness took something from me

But I fight anyway…

[Verse 5]

I saw myself in what I feared

And smiled back though my path was smeared

Some of me died to keep me sane

Some became the thing I blamed

[Verse 6]

It slid in slow, like breath at night

Turned my dreams into bitter light

Now I wear its chill like second skin

And wonder where I end, and it begins

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you lose yourself and still be found

Or are you just a ghost above the ground

[Chorus]

Every time I go into the darkness,

It leaves a mark that turns to hardness,

Some of the dark, it stayed in me

Left fingerprints I’ll never see

Came back breathing, but not quite free

The darkness took something from me

But I fight anyway…

[Verse 7]

What do you bring back from a place with no dawn

A voice too quiet, a soul half gone

A mirror that won’t look you in the eye

And footsteps that echo a little lie

[Verse 8]

I came back stitched but missing skin

The fire got out and burned within

No scars to show, just shadows grown

Now even in crowds, I’m still alone

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you touch the void and still stay whole

Or does it swallow pieces of your soul

[Chorus]

Every time I go into the darkness,

It leaves a mark that turns to hardness,

Some of the dark, it stayed in me

Left fingerprints I’ll never see

Came back breathing, but not quite free

The darkness took something from me

But I fight anyway…

[Outro]

Now I talk in riddles, sleep in storms

The wind hums dirges through my bones

I ain't broken, but I ain't clean

A little more ghost than human being

Final Chorus (Extended)

Every time I go into the darkness,

It leaves a mark that turns to hardness,

Some of the dark, it stayed in me

Left fingerprints I’ll never see

Came back breathing, but not quite free

The darkness took something from me

But I fight anyway…
