Midnight at the Manor

Across the threshold when the candles fade

Where the walls remember every name they made

Portraits whisper from the powdered glass

And the night leans close as I walk right past

Every hole is a promise in disguise

Every shadow wears my shape tonight

I'm wandering through an old mansion of secrets

Holding my breath where the cold wind keeps up

Memory beckons from behind each door

And temptation knows what I came here for

I hear your voice in the rusting waves

Pulling me deeper through time and place

In its mention of secrets, I lose my way

And I find the part of me that stays

In the ballroom dust, there's a silver crack like a moonlit

The path I can't take back

The mirror's bent with a velvet lie

Showing who I was before I said goodbye

Every step sounds like a vow I broke

Every breath tastes like smoke

I'm wandering through an old mansion of secrets

Holding my breath

Where the cold wind keeps it

Memory beckons from behind each door

And temptation knows what I came here for

I hear your voice in the west and the lakes

Holding me deeper through time and place

In this mansion of secrets

I lose my way

Then I find the part of me that stays

If I touch the lock, will the past come near?

If I speak your name, will I disappear?

The house is alive with a patient ache

And every forbidden room begins to ache

I'm wandering through an old mansion of secrets

Holding my heart where the dark still keeps it

Memory burns like a candle's quar

And temptation sings from the hidden far

I hear your voice in the rust and the lace

Pull me deep with your time and place

In this mansion of secrets, I lose my way

Then I find the part of me that stays

So I wander on through the velvet dark

With the key of longing and a stolen spark
