Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
You used to fill the room with laughter, now you fold it into hush,
When you're with them you go quieter, like someone tightened up your lungs.
Everything I say comes out blunt, or lands like it's not there,
I’m left talking to the distance, to a bedroom traveling thin air.
[Pre-Chorus]
You painted me the villain in the pictures that you keep,
Hands open, I'm accused—while you give me half a sleep.
[Chorus 1]
My shadow-dragon takes the light when you look away.
[Verse 2]
I see the small betrayals replay: you glance at someone new,
The way you fold your words up tight when I try to speak to you.
I played the lover and the fool; you called me both and neither,
Now every quiet when you smile with them just feels like a cold tether.
[Pre-Chorus]
You stop at my sentences like walls grown up between our rooms,
You wear my kindness like a rumor; I'm the villain in your bloom.
[Chorus 2]
My shadow-dragon takes the light when you look away.
It sinks teeth into conversation, swallows what I say.
When you go quiet in a crowd, the scales of night unfurl—
And I feel the dragon wake, pull the world away from our world.
[Bridge]
Nights don't let me sleep—your silence is a drum,
Past ghosts line up behind my eyes, they hum.
I don't want what the dragon wants; I claw at him inside,
But every calm I teach him fades, and he grows wide.
[Guitar Lead — ripping, bent notes like a growl]
[Bridge 2 — near-breaking]
He feeds on every ignored word, on every time you turned away,
He’s shadow, breath, and hunger—calling me back to darker days.
I almost let him take the doorway, almost hand you to the night,
Nearly lose the breath I need to tell you that I'm trying to be right.
[Chorus 3 — resolve/uncertain fight]
My shadow-dragon takes the light when you look away,
But this time I sing louder—I'll try to keep him at bay.
If you keep closing like a door, I'll learn to open from within,
Not to win your love by fire, but to stop the dragon's sin.
[Outro]
So if you watch me fade again, remember what the nights revealed:
There’s a man in shadow wrestling scales, trying to not be sealed.
My dragon wants the darkness—wants to swallow what is true,
But I’d rather burn my fear to ash than let it finish you.
[Production notes]
- Arrangement: quiet, raw verses (clean guitar, close mic vocal), big distorted-chord choruses, and a ripping lead guitar in the bridge to embody the dragon.
- Vocal delivery: intimate, ragged in verses; full-throat, soaring in choruses; near-break in bridge.
