Midnight Fade

[Verse 1]
Clock hands creeping, shadows on the wall,
Midnight whispers, gotta heed the call.
Room's still buzzing, neon flickers low,
But I’m packing up before the moon says no.

Echoes of laughter, but they don't stick,
Fading like a Polaroid, shutter-click.
I ain't the last, don't need that crown,
Vanishing act, I’m ghosting this town.

[Chorus]
Midnight fade, I’m slipping away,
No hero here, just done with the play.
Before the lights dim, before it’s too late,
I’m out the door, I don’t hesitate.

[Verse 2]
People chase closure, I chase the breeze,
Cool night air whispers truths with ease.
Ashtray stories, liquor on the floor,
I’ve heard ‘em all, don’t need no more.

Lonely hearts lingering, clinging to the fight,
But I find peace in the quiet of the night.
Not the last to leave, I know my time,
Clock strikes twelve, I’m walking the line.

[Prechorus]
Moonlight guide me, don’t let me stay,
Turn my back, let the echoes decay.
