Ginger Ladd - Closing Shadows Lyrics

And so dear listener
Our journey reaches its end
Or has it?

You've traveled through the deepest recesses of a mind
Untethered from sanity
Witnessed the birth of a figure
Shaped by rejection and fear
And followed the path of an anti-hero
Who has left his mark in the dark

But stories like these
They never truly end do they?
They cling to you
Like shadows at the edge of your vision
Like whispers in the dead of night

Even if you try to leave this world behind
A part of it will remain with you
Echoing in the recesses of your mind

And in every flicker of doubt
In every fleeting moment of unease
You'll hear his voice
You'll feel his presence
And you'll wonder
Has the dark truly left?
Or is it simply waiting for its chance to return?

Because some stories refuse to be forgotten
They're not just legends
They become part of you
Like a shadow that never quite leaves your side

But what did you learn dear listener
From this descent into madness?
Perhaps you learned that the line between
Hero and villain is thinner than we think
Or maybe you discovered that
Under the right circumstances
Even the purest soul can be pushed to the edge

And here's a warning
For those who delight in tearing others down
For those whose words wound like daggers
Or whose indifference leaves scars unseen
Be careful

One day the very soul you sought to break
May rise against you
They may no longer shrink away from your shadow
Nor bow beneath your gaze
Instead they'll become something you never imagined
Something far more dangerous

For every cruel jest
For every heart you fracture
You may be sowing the seeds of your own downfall

Vengeance is quiet
It bides its time
Feeds on every slight
And when it's ready
It strikes without mercy

So consider carefully before you scorn the weak
Or mock the outcast
Because the darkness is never as distant as you believe
And one day
It may come seeking retribution

Perhaps you've already seen it in yourself
The way shadows stretch in your own life
Or maybe you still believe you're untouchable
But remember you were warned
No one is beyond the reach of the night

So until we meet again
Keep your eyes open
Keep your thoughts sharp
And remember this
The dark is always closer than you think
