cinematic rock, orchestral rock, male vocals

+ Show full styles

[Intro]
[low synth drone, atmospheric reverb]
(Mmm)

[Verse 1]
[breathy male vocals, sparse piano chords]
I'm standing on the last edge
Of a breaking world
Where the ground forgets my name
Beneath my feet
The air is thin
Like it's trying to disappear
And I'm not sure what's left of me to keep

[Pre-Chorus]
[cello enters, low strings]
The silence presses down like a closing hand
A weight I never asked to hold
I stare into the dark that keeps calling
Wondering how far the fall really goes

[Chorus]
[distorted electric guitars enter, driving drums, full strings]
One hundred feet from the edge of nothing
Holding on to an unraveling thread
You are the last light flickering in my distance
But you walk away before the words were said
Tell me, was I ever more than a faded star
Trying to outshine the dark?

[Verse 2]
[drums and guitars drop out, piano and synth pads]
I've been living in a room with no windows
Counting shadows just to feel the hours move
Every day is a question with no answers
Every night a truth I can't undo
And when you return, your eyes were somewhere else
Searching for a face that wasn't mine
You didn't see the cracks spreading through my sky
All the way to my horizon line

[Chorus]
[full band, high-energy rock]
One hundred feet from the edge of nothing
Holding on to an unraveling thread
You are the last light flickering in my distance
But you walk away before the words were said
Tell me, was I ever more than a faded star
Trying to outshine the dark?

[Bridge]
[guitar solo, heavy crash cymbals]
Maybe I'm just a voice in a collapsing world
No one is fighting just to stay alive
Maybe love was the last illusion I held
And now I'm learning how to survive

[Chorus]
[belted vocals, orchestral swells]
One hundred feet from the edge of nothing
Holding on to an unraveling thread
You are the last light flickering in my distance
But you walk away before the words were said
Tell me, was I ever more than a faded star
Trying to outshine the dark?

[Outro]
[guitars fade, piano and cello remain]
I'm still here
On the last edge of the edge
A quiet survivor
In a world gone cold
[thunder sound effect, final piano note]
