[Intro: Lush synth pads, clean guitar arpeggios with chorus, gated reverb snare hits] [Verse 1] Morning light cuts through the blinds on dishes stacked for days your favorite mug still by the sink with that faint red trace I told myself I wouldn't look but my hands won't obey just one more day of pretending that you didn't walk away [Pre-Chorus] And every room screams your name in this hollow parade [Chorus] I’m drowning in the silence where your laughter used to play these walls keep shouting back at me but you’re miles and miles away I held on like a fool now I’ve got nothing to lose just this ache in my chest and your ghost in the hallway [Inst: Heavy drums enter, synth swell] [Verse 2] Found your scarf beneath the couch still smells like rain and smoke remember how you’d hum that tune while fixing dinner broke I tried to be the man you saw but I cracked right at the seams now all I’ve got are echoes of your half-finished dreams [Pre-Chorus] The truth hits like a freight train no place left to hide [Chorus] I’m drowning in the silence where your laughter used to play these walls keep shouting back at me but you’re miles and miles away I held on like a fool now I’ve got nothing to lose just this fire turned to ash and your shadow in the doorway [Inst: Bluesy distorted guitar solo, melodic bends, stadium reverb] [Bridge] Was it something I became or just time wearing thin? I’d give every tomorrow just to hear you say my name again [Chorus] Am I drowning in the silence? Did your laughter fade to gray? do these walls still call for you though you’re never coming back? I was strong while you were here now I’m breaking in the clear just this raw open wound and your memory in the hallway [Outro: Synth pads fade, distant guitar sustain, gated drums decay] MUSIC (+) LYRICS (+)
