[Intro Distorted bass shakes, broken guitar loops, drums like a heartbeat in a blackout] Yeah… I hear the ghosts in the static Same blocks, same panic Same scars, different damage They thought I’d disappear… Nah. I turned the noise into a weapon. [Verse 1 Low growl vocals, doubled ad-libs, grimy flow] I was walking through the storm with my fists clenched tight Trying to find my own name in the middle of the night You told me “move on” like the past gets erased But every cut left a mark, every lie left a trace I gave you my heart, you treated it like a target Built a house out of trust, then you set fire to the carpet Funny how you point fingers when the mirror starts talking Funny how you run when the truth starts walking I was drowning in the silence, choking on regret Counting every promise that you never kept You wanted me broken, wanted me down on the floor But every time I fell, I came back with more Now I’m forged in the fire, pressure made me diamond Lost my old self, but the new one’s violent Not with a fist, with a mind that’s focused I turned all the pain into something explosive [Chorus Huge synths, heavy bass, layered vocals] Echo, echo, hear it when I breathe All the ghosts of yesterday still chasing after me Echo, echo, bouncing off the walls I was fighting for my life while you were watching me fall You said I’d never make it, said I’d never survive Now I’m standing in the dark with a dangerous light The voice in my head finally sounds like me The person you destroyed was the person I needed to leave [Verse 2 Hard drums, aggressive cadence, distorted ad-libs] I see your name flash but I let that screen fade I don’t chase dead memories buried in a grave You wanted control, wanted keys to my soul Now I’m breaking every lock, taking back what you stole I was trapped in a cycle, spinning in circles Trying to save something that was already hurtful Gave you my loyalty, gave you my trust You gave me excuses and a handful of dust Now I walk with a storm underneath my skin Lost everything once, had to build again No more begging for love that comes with conditions No more sacrificing myself for somebody’s vision If my past comes knocking, I’m answering the door Not scared of the ghosts I was running from before I survived every battle that was meant to end me Now every scar is a map of what saved me [Bridge Beat cuts, distorted vocals echo in the distance] I don’t need your apology I don’t need your sympathy You had your chance, you had your time Now I’m busy rebuilding mine You can keep the memories Keep the fake apologies I buried that version of me Underneath these melodies Some endings break you Some endings wake you [Final Chorus Full production, massive drums, choir-like backing vocals] Echo, echo, fading into smoke Every empty promise, every word you broke Echo, echo, I don’t need your rescue I found my strength in everything I went through You tried to break me, but I learned how to bend Lost what we were, found myself again No more shadows hiding over my face I’m running my race at my own damn pace The pain was a teacher, the scars were proof I built my foundation from a broken roof Yesterday’s ashes, tomorrow’s flame I lost who I was just to find my name [Outro Guitar screams, tape slowing down, vocals fading] I loved who we were… But I respect who I became. The echo’s gone. I’m still here. [Fade out]
