Lyrics: [Verse 1] I keep my scars beneath the leather Learned young that silence keeps you safe The shadows gather on my shoulders They know the things I never say I learned to watch without being seen To hear the truths no one would tell I made a home inside the darkness And learned to know it all too well [Pre-Chorus] I walk where no one sees me walking I speak in silence, not in sound But something in the dark keeps calling Some part of me won't stay bound [Chorus] This is what the shadows know— I'd burn again to keep you whole Every wall I've ever built Was built to hide what no one knows So call my name into the dark I'll come, I always come, I know Even broken wings can fly For someone they refuse to let go [Verse 2] They carved my hands to steal my wings I learned to fly where no one sees I've carried secrets through the darkness And held them close beneath my skin I've crossed the sky when others couldn't I've stood where no one dared to stand I'd take the pain without a question If it could spare the ones I can [Pre-Chorus] I walk where no one sees me walking I speak in silence, not in sound But something in the dark keeps calling Some part of me won't stay bound [Chorus] This is what the shadows know— I'd burn again to keep you whole Every wall I've ever built Was built to hide what no one knows So call my name into the dark I'll come, I always come, I know Even broken wings can fly For someone they refuse to let go [Bridge] Maybe love's another kind of scar One you wear and never show Maybe I've been standing in the dark so long I forgot I'm allowed to glow Maybe I don't have to disappear To be the one who stays Maybe these shadows aren't my prison Maybe they're the part of me that stays [Final Chorus] This is what the shadows know— That even ghosts have far to go These wings were broken, not erased This heart was hidden, not replaced So call my name into the dark I'm already there, I never left Even broken wings can fly When there's someone worth coming home to [Outro] I never left... I never left you... #Azriel #ACOTAR #Romantasy #NightCourt #Shadowsinger
