Ephemeral Facade

[Verse 1]
The old bazaar breathes silence, where the shadows used to cling,
Every cracked tile whispers stories, time forgot to sing.
Foundational cracks spread slow, like veins across the stone,
A labyrinth of fading light, I walk this path alone.

[Chorus]
Ephemeral facade, slowly turning dust,
This ancient concrete heart, a memory in the rust.
Ephemeral facade, holding all it must,
Just echoes in the silence, a fading trust.

[Verse 2]
Through sun-baked alleys, where the cardamom once bloomed,
Now dust motes dance in sunbeams, in a space profoundly doomed.
Each spectral outline, of a life that passed unseen,
A cosmic insignificance, what does it all mean?

[Bridge]
The endless flow of time, a river against the wall,
Eroding every surface, before it starts to fall.
A yearning for stillness, in the shifting sands I tread,
The weight of unspoken stories, living in my head.

[Outro]
Just the wind through vacant windows, a melancholic sigh.
Another silent moment, beneath an indifferent sky.
