Calls That Don't Get Answered

TITLE: Calls That Go Unanswered [VERSE 1] I’ve been pacing through the kitchen, lights low, coffee cold Every ring that doesn’t happen feels louder than the dial tone I keep checking for a message, but the silence hits like steel Guess some things don’t get spoken, even when they’re real [PRE‑CHORUS] And I’m tired of rehearsing what I’ll never get to say Tom‑toms rumble like the thunder rolling in my chest today [CHORUS] These are calls that go unanswered Like a song that never lands Like a wheel that keeps on turning With no one at the other end I keep reaching through the static But the line just fades to black Yeah, these calls that go unanswered Ain’t bringing you back [VERSE 2] I’ve been driving past the places where we used to waste our nights Every memory hits the dashboard like a flash of passing lights I keep dialing out of habit, though I know you won’t pick up Some connections burn forever, even when they’re cut [PRE‑CHORUS] And the drums start rolling steady, like they’re calling out your name But the echo never answers, and I’m done with taking blame [CHORUS] These are calls that go unanswered Like a truth you never owned Like a spark that hits the gasoline But never finds a home I keep reaching through the static But the line just fades to black Yeah, these calls that go unanswered Ain’t bringing you back [BRIDGE — DRUM BREAKDOWN + GUITAR BUILD] [DR: half‑time groove, long tom roll rising] [EG1: sustained bends, slow‑burn lead line] I let the phone fall to the floor Let the silence take the room If you wanted to be here You’d have broken through [CHORUS — FINAL, BIGGEST] These are calls that go unanswered But I’m done waiting on the tone If the road keeps pulling forward Then I’m taking it alone I keep reaching through the static But I’m finally cutting slack Yeah, these calls that go unanswered Ain’t pulling me back [OUTRO — EXTENDED SOLO] [EG1: soaring, blues‑rock solo with wide delay] [DR: crash‑ride, long rolls into final hits] Fade on feedback and heartbeat‑kick pattern.
