When You Found Me

[Intro — haunting clean guitar / 5/4 rhythm] I used to talk to empty ceilings, Like God forgot my name somewhere. Every room felt cold and temporary, Every breath dissolved into the air. Then your voice cut through the static, Soft as rain against the flame. And for the first time in forever I didn’t feel afraid. ⸻ [Verse 1 — deep restrained vocal] I was drifting through addictions, Through the noise beneath my skin. Building walls from old disasters, Trying not to let love in. You moved slow like midnight thunder, Patient as the rising tide. Never forcing open wounds — Just standing by my side. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — layered harmonies] Now every scar becomes a doorway, Every silence starts to sing. You gave meaning to the shadows I carried underneath. ⸻ [Chorus — soaring emotional release] When you found me… I remembered how to feel alive. Like the darkness finally opened And let the light inside. When you found me… Every broken piece aligned. Now your heartbeat sounds like purpose Echoing through mine. Echoing through mine… (melodic repeating hook with harmonies) ⸻ [Instrumental Section — polyrhythmic groove] (Heavy atmospheric riff shifts between 6/8 and 7/8 while layered harmonized guitars climb emotionally. Bass and drums lock into hypnotic polyrhythms beneath soaring Cornell-style vocalizations.) ⸻ [Verse 2 — heavier progression] You saw oceans in the wreckage, Saw the fire beneath the smoke. While the world kept calling me hopeless, You held the parts I couldn’t hold. Maybe love is not perfection — Maybe love survives the fall. A quiet hand inside the chaos Keeping us from losing all. ⸻ [Bridge — stripped down / haunting harmony] And if tomorrow disappears, If the stars forget to shine, I would still find something sacred In the way your soul meets mine. Because purpose isn’t somewhere distant, Not hidden in some holy sky. Sometimes purpose is a person Who teaches you how to survive. ⸻ [Final Chorus — massive crescendo] When you found me… The silence finally broke apart. Every wound became a lesson Written underneath my heart. When you found me… I became more than my pain. Now your love moves through my veins Like thunder in the rain. Echoing through mine… (repeating layered harmonies fading into atmospheric guitars) ⸻ [Outro — soft haunting guitar] Some people save your life… Without ever knowing they did.
