[Verse 1] I am the echo in a hollow chest, A room where your ghost refuses to rest. Your name is a bruise on the walls of me, A whisper that rots into memory. I light a candle in the cathedral of my ribs— It flickers like all the things you never did. And every breath I hold becomes a sermon For a love that died without a burden. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, did you hear me break? Or was it quiet… like everything you take? [Chorus] And I drown in this holy ache, On my knees for a god who will not wake. If devotion was a blade, then let it sever— The part of me that believed you’d stay forever. I scream into the dark, but the dark won’t speak— So I offer up my heart for the wolves to keep. [Verse 2] I stitch my shadows to the shape of you, But they tear every time I move. Your silence sits heavy on my tongue, A requiem left forever unsung. Every promise you made turns to rust, A crown collapsing into dust. And I am left with the bitter proof— Some wounds pray, but never find the truth. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, did you see me fall? Or did you close your eyes and feel nothing at all? [Chorus] And I drown in this holy ache, On my knees for a god who will not wake. If devotion was a blade, then let it sever— The part of me that believed you’d stay forever. I scream into the dark, but the dark won’t speak— So I offer up my heart for the wolves to keep. [Bridge] Maybe love is a tomb we dig ourselves, A quiet room where hope just melts. Maybe you were only thunder— loud, then gone— and I was the storm that lingered on. I beg the sky for mercy it won’t send, I break and break and call it faith again. [Final Chorus] So I drown in this holy ache, Hands shaking where the memories quake. If devotion is a wound, then let it open— Let it bleed out every unspoken. I cry into the void, but the void stays deep— So I bury what is left of me where the shadows sleep.
