[Intro – soft piano and acoustic guitar, subtle reverb, faint distant djent chugs fading in the background] I hear your voice in empty halls Whispering through fractured walls Every step a hollow sound Every shadow pulling me down [Verse 1 – soft growls, haunting vocal layering] I walk the ruins of my mind Seeking pieces I cannot find The ghosts of me, they linger near Their whispers sharp, yet crystal clear I reach for fragments, touch the void Every memory, every choice destroyed I am the echo of what I’ve done The residue of battles won [Pre-Chorus – clean vocals, airy, melancholic] Faint reflections, whispers of light Moments of peace in endless night I try to hold them, but they fade The shadows claim the paths I’ve made [Chorus – layered vocals, acoustic + soft djent textures] Echoes of me, I hear them call Through the ruins, I stumble and fall I am the fracture, I am the flame I am the shadow that still remains Echoes of me, haunting my sleep Through the silence, they crawl and creep I cannot hide, I cannot flee The echoes of me will always be [Verse 2 – acoustic and piano interlude with subtle cello] I see myself in broken glass Fragments of futures that couldn’t last Every scream, every fight, every tear Reverberates like a dying year I trace the paths of my mistakes Feel the weight of all it takes But in the ruins, faint and small I hear the echo that survives it all [Bridge – atmospheric, layered harmonies, faint distorted guitars in the background] I am both the victim and the crime I am the ticking, I am the time I reach for something I cannot hold The echo whispers, icy and cold The past surrounds me, won’t let go Its ghostly fingers grip me slow I try to breathe, I try to be But all I find are echoes of me [Chorus 2 – slightly more intense, adding subtle djent textures, emotional crescendo] Echoes of me, I hear them call Through the ruins, I stumble and fall I am the fracture, I am the flame I am the shadow that still remains Echoes of me, haunting my sleep Through the silence, they crawl and creep I cannot hide, I cannot flee The echoes of me will always be [Outro – soft acoustic, fading piano, distant whispering echoes of past screams] The echoes fade, but still remain A haunting chorus inside my brain I walk the ruins, one step, one plea Forever bound to the echoes of me (fade out with soft acoustic strumming and distant distorted echoes like memories lingering in the mind)
