Gary Dranow - Murky Lyrics

In the haze of twilight's grasp
A shadowed scene unveiled
A world adrift in cloak and guise
Where truth remains curtailed

The market dance of whispered cults
Beneath the dim lit street
Where secrets shroud the alleys deep
Where souls in darkness meet

Through foggy glass he gazes out
A spectre lost in time
The streets alive with hidden eyes
Each step a silent cry

The city's horn a pounding drum
Where secrets shed untold
The murky tapestry of lies
Your soul's relentless hold

Murky echoes fill the night
Whispers in the rain
A shattered soul a broken heart
Sick and lying in vain oh

Beneath the surface the murky depths
Where dark waters flow
He waits brave through deathly currents
His scars he won't bestow

The murky silt of hidden truths
A swirl of masquerade
A ceaseless battle for his soul
Beneath the charade

Murky echoes fill the night
Whispers in the rain
A shattered soul a broken heart
Sick and lying in vain

In flickering lampslight embrace
He trails a path unknown
An undercover ghost that he plays
His truths have left his soul

The secret stays upon his heart
Like ink upon his skin
He loves to break the murky chains
And let his true self in oh

Taken reflections on the broken glass
A weary face appears
A weight on his shoulders and the past he has left
His burden soaked in tears

The murky haze that follows him
Through nights that never end
Through nights that never end
A prisoner of his own facade

A world he can't transcend
Murky echoes fill the night
Whispers in the rain
A shattered soul a broken heart

Sick and lying in vain yeah
Murky echoes fill the night
Secrets lie concealed
A shattered soul a broken heart

His wounds will never heal
