In a hollow city with scattered lights,
Loneliness dances alone like ghosts in the night,
Perhaps we are all just lonely onlookers,
Chasing after dreams that will never touch reality.
Don’t you see the tears hiding under the mask?
No one understands the sorrow embedded in the past,
The melody bursts through the night,
Singing a song not meant for anyone.
When the sun sets, night unfolds silently,
The lyric that no one understands,
Becomes the comforting embrace in the dark,
The sound of the unsung song.
