Verse 1:

I move silent through the night, no one sees my face

Collecting all the broken hearts that life leaves in place

Every cry, every whisper, every tear that falls unseen

I carry their shadows, the pain in between

I’m the storm in the corner, the chill in the air

The quiet fear that lingers when nobody’s there

I don’t take joy, I don’t take life, just what they hide

Every sorrow, every loss, I keep by my side

I’ve walked through fires nobody dared to survive

And somehow in the wreckage, I stay alive

Every step leaves footprints in mist and regret

Every soul I touch leaves a debt they won’t forget

Chorus:

I’m the Shadow Collector, I feed on your pain

Every night I rise, every night I remain

I don’t ask for your sorrow, I just claim what you’ve lost

I’m the figure you feel when the world’s too cold and frost

I’m the Shadow Collector, can’t run, can’t hide

I take the grief that the world casts aside

Verse 2:

I’ve seen the walls close in, the daylight disappear

I’ve watched hope wither quietly while the heart screams fear

I don’t judge your suffering, I only gather it all

The whispers, the betrayals, the nights you crawl

I drift through the alleys, I wander the streets

Where every lonely shadow and every heartbeat meets

I’m a keeper of the fallen, the lost, the betrayed

I harvest their silence, I’m not afraid

I’m already burdened, my chest full of weight

But the world keeps throwing more I just carry the slate

Every scar, every mark, every secret you hide

I pull it into the darkness, I keep it inside

Chorus:

I’m the Shadow Collector, I feed on your pain

Every night I rise, every night I remain

I don’t ask for your sorrow, I just claim what you’ve lost

I’m the figure you feel when the world’s too cold and frost

I’m the Shadow Collector, can’t run, can’t hide

I take the grief that the world casts aside

Verse 3:

Yo, I’m the shadow in the corner you can’t name

The one that watches quietly while life plays its game

Every heartbreak, every loss, every moment you break

I’m there in the silence, the ache you can’t shake

I’m not evil, I’m not kind, I just exist

A mirror for sorrow, the darkness you resist

I’ve walked through nightmares, through fires untold

I carry the stories that never get told

I move unseen, I drift in between

The moments that cut, the spaces unseen

I’m already taken, I belong to the night

But I’ll carry your pain ‘til it’s out of sight

Bridge:

I don’t sleep, I don’t rest, I don’t fade away

I collect the shadows life throws my way

I’m not your enemy, I’m not your friend

I’m the quiet storm that never ends

Chorus:

I’m the Shadow Collector, I feed on your pain

Every night I rise, every night I remain

I don’t ask for your sorrow, I just claim what you’ve lost

I’m the figure you feel when the world’s too cold and frost

I’m the Shadow Collector, can’t run, can’t hide

I take the grief that the world casts aside

Outro:

I drift through the dark, the quiet, the unseen

I’m the collector of sadness, the space in between

I don’t sleep, I don’t rest, I don’t leave, I don’t flee

I’m the Shadow Collector, and I’m already me
