EMPTY HOUSE

[Verse] अंतरिक्ष में अभी सो रही है उषा मधुबाला अरे खुली भी अभी नहीं तो प्राची की मधुशाला सोता तारक-किरन-पुलक रोमावली मलयज वात लेते अंगराई [Verse 2] नीड़ों में अलस विहंग मृदु गात रजनि रानी की बिखरी है म्लान कुसुम की नभ का अद्र त्रासित मन दिशाओं की निस्तब्धता में [Chorus] उठेगी जब धरा सजग प्राची की रश्मि कानन में व्योम का संगीत तब बजेगा जागेगी फिर जग में मधुबाला [Bridge] वन में जब मर्मर गूंजेगा विहंग जागेगा शलभ का संग प्राची की ओस जब बिखरेगी तब होगा नया प्रभात [Verse 3] सपनों से जगने की है बात चुप है अभी सारी क़ायनात हवा जब मीठा गीत गाएगी फिर प्राची की मधुबाला आएगी [Chorus] उठेगी जब धरा सजग प्राची की रश्मि कानन में व्योम का संगीत तब बजेगा जागेगी फिर जग में मधुबाला

[Verse] Woke up in a haze the sun don’t shine Another empty bottle another lonely line Staring at the ceiling lost in my mind These shadows on the wall they’re the company I find [Chorus] Oh I’m walking through the darkness With these ghosts I know by name In the silence of my heartache Only shadows feel the same [Verse 2] Echoes of old laughter hanging in the air Whispers of a love no longer there Chasing dreams that scatter everywhere Running from the memories I can’t bear [Chorus] Oh I’m walking through the darkness With these ghosts I know by name In the silence of my heartache Only shadows feel the same [Bridge] When the nights are long and cold And the stories all grow old I close my eyes and see the past unfold In these shadows I hold [Verse 3] The dawn is breaking but it feels the same All these reminders playing their cruel game I’m a racer in a race I can’t rename Lost in a puzzle I can never tame

I was your northern light, a midnight sun The star you looked up to when you needed someone I was a constant, a beacon, a guide The one thing that lit up your loneliest nights Slowly but surely, I’m fading away The night’s come to claim me, I wish I could stay No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark I was your shooting star, a hopeful flame The fire that burned bright, the one that kept you safe I was a pillar, a compass, a friend The one thing that saved you, now I’m saving myself Slowly but surely, I slip through the cracks The night’s come to claim me, there’s no turning back No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark As the sky turns black, and it's hard to breathe I'm not the first star you've burned up, I see You’ve turned from the stars, letting shadows in I’m just another star you’ll forget about again You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark

**Title: "Echoes of Us"** **Verse 1:** In the shadows where you whispered, Dreams like ghosts, they linger still, A silhouette of what we once were, Fading light against my will. Through the silence, I hear your laughter, A distant song, it cuts so deep, But I'll gather the fragments after, And cradle the pain as I weep. **Chorus:** But I’ll rise, like the dawn breaking, From the ashes, I’ll learn to fly, In the echoes of us, I’ll find my voice, A symphony built on goodbye. Though the love we had was a fleeting fire, The embers glow within my heart, I’m stepping forward, fueled by desire, From the shadows, I’ll tear apart. **Verse 2:** Once we danced under silver moonlight, Promises whispered in the dark, Now I wander through this cold night, Chasing dreams that lost their spark. Tangled sheets left an impression, Ghosts of a love that couldn’t stay, But in the now, I seek redemption, Finding strength in the price I pay. **Chorus:** But I’ll rise, like the dawn breaking, From the ashes, I’ll learn to fly, In the echoes of us, I’ll find my voice, A symphony built on goodbye. Though the love we had was a fleeting fire, The embers glow within my heart, I’m stepping forward, fueled by desire, From the shadows, I’ll tear apart. **Bridge:** In the silence, I’ll reclaim my story, Let the healing wash over me, Every tear sheds a part of the glory, Of the love that was once meant to be. I’ll carry your memory, tender and bright, But like the stars, I’ll find my own light. **Chorus:** So I’ll rise, like the dawn breaking, From the ashes, I’ll learn to fly, In the echoes of us, I’ll find my voice, A symphony built on goodbye. Though the love we had was a fleeting fire, The embers glow within my heart, I’m stepping forward, fueled by desire, From the shadows, I’ll tear apart. **Outro:** So here’s to the time that we borrowed, To the love that taught me to dream, In the light of tomorrow, no more sorrow, I’ll find myself in the stream. With every heartbeat, I’ll draw the line, From heartbreak to healing, in time, I’ll shine.

(Outro) Here’s to our team in this wacky ride, With 19 hotels, we take it in stride!

You taste like whiskey and gasoline Every word you say’s both sharp and clean Pull me close just to push me down A dance on fire in this dead-end town You’re poison, sweet and bitter, warm The calm at the eye of every storm I keep swallowing lies like wine Your hands on my throat, keeping me in line You’re ash, you’re smoke, you’re wildfire burning I’m just a shadow, constantly turning Chasing your warmth though I know it’s a lie Somehow you’re the storm, and I’m the sky You say you love me then you disappear Back and forth till I can’t see clear You light me up just to watch me fall I try to leave, but you know I’ll crawl Every fight’s just a game you play Sweet apologies the very next day Your touch leaves scars, soft as sin You break me open, then pull me in You’re ash, you’re smoke, you’re wildfire burning I’m just a shadow, constantly turning Chasing your warmth though I know it’s a lie Somehow you’re the storm, and I’m the sky I’m dancing on embers, burning my feet Losing myself just to feel complete You’re the ache I’ve come to crave You bury me deep, call it “saved” But I’m worn thin, paper and flame Losing shape every time you say my name You’re the knife I keep at my side A love that’s killing me, but keeps me alive You’re ash, you’re smoke, and I’m the ruin Broken down, but still I’m choosing To chase the sparks though they leave me blind I’m yours to burn, until there’s nothing left to find
