LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Dust on the table, spine split in two
Ink-stained fingers know my truth
Every word I never said
Sleeps in the margins of the dead

Paper prayers, folded thin
I breathe you out, I pull you in
If you read between the lines
You’ll hear this voice was always mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the page
Don’t look away
Some stories sing when they’re afraid

[Chorus]
I’m written in the dark tonight
Bound in shadow, stitched in light
If you hear me, don’t pretend
This book remembers how I end
I rise when the silence starts
Every verse beats like a heart
You opened me, now here I stay
A song the paper couldn’t cage

[Verse 2]
Stone and roses, time on chains
Clocks confess what names won’t say
Every second bends and breaks
When love is something you erase

I was quiet by design
Pressed between the wasted lines
But you leaned close, you stayed too long
Now the story sings you wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel it breathe
Ink and bone
Every word found its way home

[Chorus]
I’m written in the dark tonight
Bound in shadow, stitched in light
If you hear me, don’t pretend
This book remembers how I end
I rise when the silence starts
Every verse beats like a heart
You opened me, now here I stay
A song the paper couldn’t cage

[Bridge][Spoken Word]
If you close the cover now
I’ll still whisper through the sound
Every shelf, every room
Knows this voice is never through

[Final Chorus]
I’m written in the dark tonight
Still alive in borrowed light
Say my name or let it burn
Every page is my return
I rise when the silence starts
Every verse beats like a heart
You opened me—don’t turn away
The book sings back… and makes you stay
