CALCUTTA SHADOWS Lyrics – SXMRXXT

CALCUTTA SHADOWS Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Back into the fiction
But the fiction feels too real sometimes
A Death Day Saga
Walking through the old streets where the ghosts live
Look

[Verse 1]
Colonial brick and the smell of the damp earth
Calcutta shadows watching over a grim birth
I wrote the spin-off, I drew up the sequel’s lines
Reanimating the dead through these poetic designs
Walking down the alleyways of 1912
Digging up the secrets that the history wouldn’t delve
The Architect’s Web is catching everyone alive
But the author is struggling just to survive
I lose myself in the ink of the nineteenth century
To escape the digital noise of my own centenary

[Refrain]
In the shadows of Calcutta, where the lanterns glow
I hide the real me where the river doesn’t flow
Is it a story I wrote, or a memory I found?
Burying my heavy heart deep in the historical ground

[Verse 2]
Yeah, the suspense in the pages is the suspense in my chest
I haven’t slept in three days, my mind can’t find a rest
Writing about The Shadows Reborn under the dim light
While SXMRXXT is screaming on the microphone tonight
A dual identity crisis wrapped in a vintage book
They read the words but they miss the real hook
Every character I kill is a piece of me that dies
Looking at the Hooghly River through a stranger’s eyes
From Patna to Bengal, the creative curse is deep
The fiction takes over when the boy falls asleep

[Outro]
Calcutta Shadows
The final sequel is already written
