Luminous Ache

[Verse 1]
A midnight tap, a faded name,
Then colors pulsed like spectral flame.
A playlist lived, I didn't know,
From some forgotten 'long ago'.
Each title flashed, a luminous arc,
Illuminating shadows in the dark.

[Chorus]
This ghost of sound, a bittersweet refrain,
Washing over me like city rain.
Every note, a memory’s gleam,
Caught between a waking and a dream.

[Verse 2]
The synth lines surge, an old electric trace,
A younger me in this forgotten space.
I feel the hum of ancient nights,
Under iridescent city lights.
A kaleidoscope of what we used to chase,
Before the rhythm changed its pace.

[Chorus]
This ghost of sound, a bittersweet refrain,
Washing over me like city rain.
Every note, a memory’s gleam,
Caught between a waking and a dream.

[Bridge]
And though the path ahead keeps glowing bright,
This spectrum holds a different kind of light.
An edge of light from where I used to stand,
Holding solace in an open hand.

[Chorus]
This ghost of sound, a bittersweet refrain,
Washing over me like city rain.
Every note, a memory’s gleam,
Caught between a waking and a dream.

[Chorus]
This ghost of sound, a bittersweet refrain,
Washing over me like city rain.
Every note, a memory’s gleam,
Caught between a waking and a dream.

[Outro]
Still playing low, this quiet, luminous ache,
A beautiful sadness I will keep.
