Where the Lantern Sleeps

Lyric:

Where the Lantern Sleeps

[verse 1]
I followed light through folding streets,
Through bending walls and whispered beats.
The lantern hummed its violet tune,
Soft as dust beneath the moon.
It led me where the night grows thin—
A place that breathes you out, then in.

[pre-chorus]
The glow dimmed down to something deep—
A pulse of warmth too tired to keep.

[chorus]
Now I’m where the lantern sleeps,
In hollow rooms where silence keeps.
Shadows curl like gentle flames,
Forgetting faces, losing names.
If this is where the lost ones meet,
I’ll rest where the lantern sleeps.

[verse 2]
A circle drawn in glowing sand,
Flickered as it took my hand.
It didn’t ask for who I’d been,
Just welcomed me like distant kin.
The lantern’s voice turned low and kind—
A sigh escaping through my mind.

[chorus]
Now I’m where the lantern sleeps,
In hollow rooms where silence keeps.
Shadows curl like gentle flames,
Forgetting faces, losing names.
If this is where the lost ones meet,
I’ll rest where the lantern sleeps.

[bridge]
Some endings fade instead of break,
Soft as dawn on a quiet lake.
Some stories choose to drift and fold—
Leaving only hints of gold.

[outro]
So let the lantern dim its glow,
Let the final colors go.
If tomorrow finds its feet—
I’ll stay where the lantern sleeps.
