[ Featuring Echo ]
Lanterns in the fog, they flicker and they fade
A trail of tiny beacons, leading nowhere, I'm afraid
The air is thick with silence, the kind that pulls you in
I wander through the shadows, not sure where I've been
Every step feels lighter, but my heart weighs a ton
And every glow I follow disappears when I run
Lanterns in the fog, they call me through the haze
I try to hold their light, but it slips so far away
Guiding me to nowhere, or somewhere I can't see
Lanterns in the fog, they're all that's left of me
The ground is soft and broken, it crumbles as I move
I thought I heard your voice, but the echo lost its tune
The lanterns keep their secrets, they don't tell me where they go
But I keep chasing after them through the cold and the unknown
The path dissolves behind me, the world becomes a blur
And every glow I reach for turns to something unsure
Lanterns in the fog, they call me through the haze
I try to hold their light, but it slips so far away
Guiding me to nowhere, or somewhere I can't see
Lanterns in the fog, they're all that's left of me
Maybe the light was never mine to hold
Maybe the fog's a story waiting to be told
I'll follow every shimmer, even if it fades
Because the hope of finding something feels better than the shade
Lanterns in the fog, they call me through the haze
I try to hold their light, but it slips so far away
Guiding me to nowhere, or somewhere I can't see
Lanterns in the fog, they're all that's left of me
The lanterns start to vanish as the dawn begins to glow
And in their fading embers, there's a truth I'll never know
But even in the daylight, their warmth still lingers on
Lanterns in the fog, your light will lead me home
