[Intro syncopated bass drops, distorted guitar loops, dry drums cracklin] Yeah… I hear the ghosts in the wires Same streets, same fire Different day, same fight [Verse 1low male vocals, doubled ad-libs] I been running through the rain with my head down low Trying to find a little peace where the cold winds blow You said “start again,” like the past don’t exist But every scar got a story and a name on the wrist I tried to hold on, tried to fix what was broken But silence got loud when the words stayed unspoken You said I was lost, said I needed saving Funny how the ones who leave are the ones who keep blaming I gave you my trust, you gave me a reason To turn every heartbreak into something I'm breathing Now I’m building from the ashes you left in the room Turning all that pain into a permanent boom [Chorus synth pads swell, bass pumping under the hook] Echo, echo, bouncing off the walls Every little memory still answering my calls Echo, echo, I was drowning in the sound Looking for a way up when you were pulling me down You said you’d break me, said I’d never survive But I found a new rhythm, found a reason to drive Now the voice in my head says I’m finally free The person I lost was the old version of me [Verse 2harder drums, aggressive flow] I see your name light up but I don’t hit reply Too many nights watching pieces of us die You wanted control, wanted power over me Now I’m cutting those chains like they’re nothing but debris I was stuck in the loop, in the same old cycle Trying to make love work when the game wasn’t equal Now I’m back on my feet with a chip on my shoulder Heart got colder but my vision got bolder No more waiting for a sign from somebody else No more losing my mind trying to find myself If the past wants to haunt me, let it walk through the door I’ve been fighting these battles and I’m ready for war [Bridge drums cut, filtered vocals, distant synth] In this world I stand alone I don’t need your permission to grow You’re texting now, but I don’t feel the vibration I already left that situation Some endings hurt, some endings heal Some wounds remind you what’s real [drums return] [Final Chorus full instrumentation, layered vocals] Echo, echo, fading in the night All the words we threw are disappearing from sight Echo, echo, I don’t need you to save me I found the strength in the pain that you gave me You said you’d break me, but I learned how to bend Lost what we were, found myself again No more shadows, no more running away I’m writing my future with the mistakes of yesterday [Outro guitar solo, light overdrive, vocal fade] I loved you once… I love who I became more.
