I walk the road where your voice used to stay, a soft echo rising from the quiet ground, and every thought pulls me back your way.
Weaver, Storyteller, weave me a lie Tell me a story, tell me a lie Tell me a story, a tale to make my heart light

I keep returning to the words we left unsaid, soft echoes drifting through the quiet night, and every path I take leads where you once led.
I keep returning to the place your smile once stayed, where sunlight touched your face like a gentle vow, and every step I take feels somehow delayed.
I said I hate you, but it wasn’t true. A venom loosed before I knew its weight. My deepest regret is the hate I drew. My voice had cracked; my shaking chin withdrew.
