I walk where no one knows my face
Among the shadows love can’t trace
They gave me fire, they gave me names
But none of them could melt my chains

The streets are gone, the maps erased
And light keeps slipping through this place
They say I shine, but all I see
Is fading Sun inside of me

I hear the world call out my name
But echoes never sound the same
They speak of hope, they talk of grace
But both feel foreign in this space

Where the light forgot me
Where the stars turn grey
I'm the ghost they pray won’t fade
Still I'm drifting anyway
If I go, will hearts break slow
Or breathe at last and let me go?
In a world so full of grace
Why can’t I find my place?

They built a sky to keep me whole
Lit lanterns deep inside my soul
One breathes warmth into my sleep
The other stands where mountains weep

But I'm the wind they cannot hold
A fire dying in the cold
I try to stay, I try to see
But light was never meant for me

Their hands still hold my falling light
But love can’t always stop the night
I wear a smile like borrowed skin
Afraid of what’s still locked within

Where the light forgot me
I kneel but never pray
Torn between the love I know
And voices that won’t go
If I vanish in the night
Will they curse or chase the light?
I'm afraid to go, afraid to stay
Stuck where the light forgot me

And if I scream without a sound
Would they still feel me fall to ground?
Or would the silence fill the space
Like I was never in this place?

So tell me
Is this living, or just delay?
Is my silence mercy, or is it decay?
If love is holding back the tide
Why am I still lost inside?

They gave me stars, they gave me fire
Built me altars, called me higher
But I'm still drowning in their grace
Trying to smile with a vanishing face

Where the light forgot me
Where even hope walks past me
If I go
Will anyone last me?
