[intro - piano with no guitar and subtle percussion]

[Verse 1]

An empty home,

I’m still alone,

Midnight races near.

Ghosts that roam

Between these walls

All too familiar to fear.

Is the world just a stage

For the games we play?

Or a mirror held up

To the mess we make?

⸻

(Chorus)

My sin

Promises more than it can give,

Again and again and again.

Hoping for freedom

By putting on chains,

Forgetting it’s found in surrender.

Worn thin by pain,

Hiding in shame —

When all I needed

Was to call Your name.

⸻

(Verse 2)

Secrets don’t hide easy,

They rest where we knelt.

Truth keeps finding space

Despite the lies we tell.

Your steps no longer echo,

Through the rooms we built

Midnight steals a breath -

The last reminder left

an old frame on the shelf—

One word, just love,

Nothing else.

⸻

(Chorus)

My sin

Promises more than it can give,

Again and again and again.

Hoping for freedom

By putting on chains,

Forgetting it’s found in surrender.

Worn thin by pain,

Hiding in shame —

When all I needed

Was to call Your name.

⸻

(Bridge (lift here — drums open, guitars widen))

I’ve been chasing shadows

In the dark - sinking in doubt,

Trying to keep what we tried to lock out.

If mercy’s a river, let me swim,

I’m tired of drowning in who I’ve been.

⸻

(Verse 3)

Beside the bed

Where we both lied,

The room is quiet

my heart still prays.

On the floor,

As the moonlight plays

Across the quiet room

My head stays bowed

Midnight comes around —

And in the silence of the moment

I’m finding hope.

⸻

(Final Chorus (Lifted / Half-Time Feel))

My sin

Never gave me what it claimed,

Again and again and again.

I stopped chasing freedom

While bound in chains,

Found it waiting in surrender.

Beyond the shame and pain,

Past the weight of blame—

All I had to do

Was call Your name.

⸻

(Outro)

Midnight fades

Replaced by the morning light

I’m still broken—

But not alone tonight.
