[Intro] [ clean guitar arpeggio + low bass + wind FX ] [ faint whispering ] [ guitar slowly builds ] [Verse 1] Your voice still echoes in the dark, every step I take, it leaves a mark. Your empty chair, your hollow space, I breathe you in but find no trace. [ slow kick + floor tom ] [Verse 2] Nights are colder, days are grey, memories hit like a tidal wave. I try to run, I try to hide, but you're the shadow that walks inside. [ snare fill leading to pre-chorus ] [Pre-chorus] [ soft backing vocals: whoaaa... ] Why did you go, why can't you stay? I curse the silence every day. Your name's a knife I can't erase, your ghost still haunts this broken place. [ cymbal roll ] [Chorus] [ heavy guitars enter ] Shadows inside, I can't break free, you're the wound that bleeds in me. Shadows inside, you're all I see, I'm chained to what can never be. [ background vocals: ahhh... ] [Verse 3] Your laugh, your scent, your distant smile, I taste the poison all the while. You left me drowning, left me numb, a hollow shell, where have you gone? [ soft bass slide ] [Pre-chorus] [ stronger backing vocals: whoaaa... yeahhh... ] Why did you go, why can't you stay? I curse the silence every day. Your name's a knife I can't erase, your ghost still haunts this broken place. [ drum build-up ] [Chorus] Shadows inside, I can't break free, you're the wound that bleeds in me. Shadows inside, you're all I see, I'm chained to what can never be. [Bridge] [ guitars palm mute + snare on 2 and 4 ] I scream your name into the void, but you're the silence I avoid. No light, no sound, just endless pain, your absence drives me half-insane. [ background vocals: ohhhh... ] [Epic Chorus] [ full band + double kick + chorus vocals ] Shadows inside, I can't break free, you're the wound that bleeds in me. Shadows inside, you're all I see, I'm chained to what can never be. Shadows inside... Shadows inside... you're killing me... [ distorted guitars fade out with screams ] [Outro] [ clean guitar arpeggio + fading whispers ] Still hear you... still feel you... [ silence... ] [Outro] [ clean guitar arpeggio + fading whispers ] Still hear you... still feel you... [ silence... ]
