Lyrics:

I stand at the edge of the fading night
Echoes of hope mix with the shadows
In the distance, whispers lost to the dark
Life’s cruel lullaby plays its haunting tune
Fingers grasp at the remnants of dreams
But I know there's beauty in all of this pain

I no longer wear the mask
The guise I once held tight, shattered dreams now in sight
I walk through the mist alone
While the ashes of yesterday embrace my bones

Tracing scars of regret upon my soul
In the silence, the weight pulls me down
Fading glances, tokens of what once was
And the night sings a slow, haunting refrain
I breathe in the darkness, it binds me whole
But there’s a flicker of light in this dreary night

I no longer wear the mask
The guise I once held tight, shattered dreams now in sight
I walk through the mist alone
While the ashes of yesterday embrace my bones

Brother
Brother of mine, hear this call
In the depth of the silence, we stand tall
There's no shame in the way we grieve
Let the whispers guide us, help us believe

I no longer wear the mask
The guise I once held tight, shattered dreams now in sight
I walk through the mist alone
While the ashes of yesterday embrace my bones

In the remnants of love that slipped through our hands,
We dance with the ghosts of our lost plans.
Each step weighs heavy, footprints in sand,
A bittersweet journey where hearts understand.

I no longer wear the mask,
The guise I once held tight, shattered dreams now in sight.
With every note, a truth unfolds,
As we lay bare what our souls have told.

With echoes of laughter that linger in air,
I find solace in moments that now seem rare.
Broken memories wrap around my heart,
Yet each tear that falls plays a haunting part.

I no longer wear the mask,
The guise I once held tight, shattered dreams now in sight.
In the maze of night, I wander and roam,
Until the shadows guide me back home.

Through the corridors of time, I hear their names,
Fading echoes of laughter in bittersweet frames.
As I search for solace in this painted gloom,
The weight of the world finds a place to consume.

I no longer wear the mask,
The guise I once held tight, shattered dreams now in sight.
In this dance with my doubts, I find my way,
Through the ruins of yesterday, I learn to stay.
