Shadows on the Keys

Lyrics: BadOcto Music: BadOcto Arranger: BadOcto Fingers on the ivory, ghosts in the hall Every note a memory, rise then fall Heart heavy like the bass, thump in my chest Shadows on the keys, can’ t lay them to rest Rain on the window, tapping slow Morse Every drop whispers," What’ s the source?" Tried to play it smooth, but the cracks still show Echoes in the chords of a love I let go Shadows on the keys, shadows on my mind Searching for the peace I can’ t seem to find Shadows on the keys, playing through the night Chasing every ghost, till I see the light Breath fogs the glass, blurred view of the street Piano’ s crying soft, keeps my heart on beat Felt her hand on mine, phantom touch in the room Her voice lingers faint, trapped in the tune 808’ s pulse faint, like a fading star Soft percussion hits, distant drums afar Piano loops steady, like time on rewind Each chord a confession I try to define Bass hums low, like the ache in my soul Trap beat whispers, barely under control
