LYRIC FOR SALE

By GeoVibe

Verse 1
I scrolled through the night, on a screen’s fleeting glow,
A heart full of hope, where the lonely winds blow.
Posted a dream, to the void I did call,
“Ukraine’s lost children, I’ll give you a home.”
A message came quick, like a spark in the dark,
A voice from the shadows, igniting my heart.
They spoke of sweet souls, with eyes full of pain,
I believed every word, like a fool in the rain.

Pre-Chorus
They sent me their pictures, their names soft and small,
I whispered their stories to walls that won’t call.
Each word that I typed, felt like reaching through time,
But the children I loved were never mine.

Chorus
Ghosts of promises, fading in the light,
Voices in the ether, stealing through the night.
I talk to the shadows, of children I’ll never know,
In this empty cradle, where my heart lets go.
Oh, ghosts of promises, why won’t you show?

Verse 2
I sent all my savings, to hands I can’t see,
A wire through the void, to set their hearts free.
They promised me meetings, a video call,
But the screen stayed so silent, no children at all.
I still write them letters, though no one replies,
I dream of their laughter, their soft lullabies.
Was it all just a lie, or a wound left to bleed?
Yet my soul keeps on calling, for the love that I need.

Pre-Chorus
They sent me their pictures, their names carved in stone,
I carry their echoes in a heart left alone.
Each word that I typed, built a world that’s not there,
Now I’m chasing the ghosts of a hope debonair.

Chorus
Ghosts of promises, fading in the light,
Voices in the ether, stealing through the night.
I talk to the shadows, of children I’ll never know,
In this empty cradle, where my heart lets go.
Oh, ghosts of promises, why won’t you show?

Bridge
Did I dream you in shadows, were you ever alive?
Their lies tore my soul, left me barely survived.
From Australia’s bright shores to a war-torn disguise,
I’m screaming through ashes where my heart used to rise.
Oh, I’d trade all my tomorrows for one fleeting embrace,
But the truth is a blade, and it’s carved out your face.

Chorus
Ghosts of promises, fading in the light,
Voices in the ether, stealing through the night.
I talk to the shadows, of children I’ll never know,
In this empty cradle, where my heart lets go.
Oh, ghosts of promises, why won’t you show?

Outro
I still see your faces, in the cold morning dew,
Little ghosts of my longing, I’ll always love you.
On Facebook’s cruel stage, where I learned to believe,
Now I’m left with the silence, and a heart that still grieves.
