Whispering Shadows

By a twist of fate, entwined at birth Two souls in one, the core of my girth Nature's cruel jest, a life's coin to flip One thrives and grows, the other's grip slips [Verse 1] Joined at the soul, a dance of life and decay In the womb's embrace, where only one can stay Absorbed before the light of day [Pre-Chorus] It's been inside, a life unlived Oh, oh, a life within, never, ever to begin We've shared so, so many beats One heart between the twin, deep beneath the skin [Chorus] I was your shadow, latched and present Merged in darkness, nourishment heaven-sent [Verse 2] You were the silence, I was the breathIn our shared cradle, life met its silent death [Pre-Chorus] Fused in our existence, a tale so bittersweet I survived the struggle, a fusion now complete [Chorus] In whispered echoes, I carry your essence [Verse 3] I grew in strength while you faded away A secret share in the light of day My branch flourished, yours never swayed Bound in blood, a part you'll stay [Pre-Chorus] You're the whisper in my heart's hollow sound Oh, oh, in every shadow, it's you that’s bound
