(Intro) [Slow, haunting guitar riff with deep reverb] [Muted drums tapping lightly, heartbeat-like rhythm] [Low, rumbling bass fading in] (Verse 1) [Clean guitar with echoing bends, sparse piano notes] There’s a hole where your voice used to be, A quiet so loud it’s swallowing me. I’m tracing the cracks on these walls we made, Counting the lies we both left unpaid. (Pre-Chorus) [Drums build with heavier tom hits, tension rising] They say time heals, but I know the truth — Some wounds grow roots. (Chorus) [Full band explosion with gritty guitar and pounding drums] And the weight of silence is breaking my bones, I’m screaming for help, but I’m still alone. I carry your ghost like it’s stitched to my skin, Can’t run from the war that’s raging within. The echoes keep calling, I can’t let it go, The weight of silence is all I’ve ever known. (Verse 2) [Pulls back slightly with deeper bass and muted guitar] I left the lights on, but you never came, Now every room is a shrine to your name. The mirror keeps showing a stranger's face, I blink once — you’re gone without a trace. (Pre-Chorus) [Drums swell again, more forceful] They said move on, but they don’t feel this ache — Some hearts still break. (Chorus) [Big, crashing chords with a raw vocal delivery] And the weight of silence is breaking my bones, I’m screaming for help, but I’m still alone. I carry your ghost like it’s stitched to my skin, Can’t run from the war that’s raging within. The echoes keep calling, I can’t let it go, The weight of silence is all I’ve ever known. (Bridge) [Breakdown with just piano and soft guitar, intimate and raw] I’d rather the fights, the tears, the pain, Than this hollow void driving me insane. Give me a storm, give me a scar, Anything but this cold, quiet dark. (Final Chorus) [Final swell with powerful instrumentation, guitar solo soaring] And the weight of silence is breaking my bones, I’m screaming for help, but I’m still alone. I carry your ghost like it’s stitched to my skin, Can’t run from the war that’s raging within. The echoes keep calling, I can’t let it go, The weight of silence is all I’ve ever known. (Outro) [Guitar fades out with long, bending notes] [Piano plays a slow, mournful final chord]
