(Intro) (Soft, dreamy piano chords) (Ambient city sounds in the background) (Pop Singer - Smooth Voice): Yeah... it's always the same story. (Rapper - Deep Voice): Every time, man. Every single time. (Verse 1 - Rapper) (Deep, gravelly voice - rhythmic and slow) Yeah, I’m staring at the ceiling, another night alone Counting all the secrets that I buried in my phone. The whiskey’s getting warm, the room is getting cold I’m tired of the lies and the stories that we told. I built these walls high just to keep the ghost away But the shadows always find a little space to play. I’m a king on a throne made of glass and regret Trying to forgive the things I haven't finished yet. (Pre-Chorus - Pop Singer) (Smooth, airy vocals - soaring over the beat) And I feel the weight of the world on my chest Searching for a place where my heart can finally rest. Oh, we’re running in circles... (Chorus - Both) (Pop Singer - High & Smooth): We’re chasing echoes in the dark of the night! (Rapper - Deep Counter-melody): (Echoes in the dark...) (Pop Singer): Trying to find a way to make it alright. (Rapper - Deep): (Make it alright...) (Both): Two different souls on a one-way street Where the fire and the frozen water meet. Yeah, we're just chasing echoes. (Verse 2 - Pop Singer) (Soft and melodic, almost whispering at first) I see the light reflected in the rain A beautiful picture of a hidden pain. I’ll catch you if you fall, I’ll be your steady ground Even when the silence is the only sound. (Rapper ad-lib: I hear you...) Let the rhythm heal what the winter broke Losing all the sorrow in a cloud of smoke. (Bridge - Both) (Rapper - Deep/Aggressive): I’m a fighter, I’m a rebel, I’m a man on the edge! (Pop Singer - Soft/Harmonizing): (Don’t jump off the ledge...) (Rapper): I’ve been pushed, I’ve been broken, I’ve been pushed to the ledge! (Pop Singer): (I’ll be there... I’ll be there...) (Drum build-up!) (Chorus - Both) (Pop Singer): We’re chasing echoes in the dark of the night! (Rapper - Deep): (Looking for the light...) (Pop Singer): Trying to find a way to make it alright. (Rapper - Deep): (Yeah, it’s gonna be alright...) (Both): Two different souls on a one-way street Where the fire and the frozen water meet. (Outro) (Rapper - Deep Voice): Just echoes, man. That's all that's left. (Pop Singer - Smooth Voice): (Vocal run: Uhhhhhh~) (Rapper): Stay strong. (Pop Singer): Don't let go. (Music fades with a final bass thud)
