[Intro – Clean Guitar / Delay] (Soft picking, reverb + delay – clean tone) [Verse 1 – Clean / Overdriven Blend] With haunted eyes, I watch you breathing The ghost of us is all that’s still remaining Would you save me if I called your name? Would you hate me if I took the blame? There’s always something tearing me apart The scars I hide are just the start There’s always someone dragging me below Can anybody help me let this go? [Pre-Chorus – Build / Double Time] Your voice still screams, it cuts right through me Your shadow calls, it’s reaching to consume me Your voice still screams, it cuts right through me Your shadow calls, it’s reaching to consume me [Verse 2] The silence burns, the truth unspoken The chains inside will not be broken Would you see me if I turned away? Would you need me if I chose to stay? There’s always something eating at my soul The deeper down, the less control There’s always someone pulling at my skin Can anybody help me stop this sin? [Chorus – Full Distortion / Double Bass Drum] (Power chords with melodic lead overlay) Your voice still screams, it cuts right through me Your shadow calls, it’s reaching to consume me Your voice still screams, it cuts right through me Your shadow calls, it’s reaching to consume me [Bridge – Clean + Ambient Lead / Slow Build] (Clean tone, delay-heavy lead, drums soften) Yeah This twisted heart can’t beat no more The lies we built, they stain the floor With my last breath, I’m breaking Is this real or am I faking? The light is fading one last time [Breakdown – Heavy Palm Muting / Syncopated Chugs] (Full distortion, low-end focused rhythm) Would you save me if I called your name? Would you hate me if I took the blame? There’s always something tearing me apart The scars I hide are just the start There’s always someone dragging me below Can anybody help me let this go? [Final Chorus – Full Power / Dual Vocals] (Clean + harsh layered vocals) Your voice still screams, it cuts right through me Your shadow calls, it’s reaching to consume me (Voices) your voice (still) still screams right through me (Shadows) your shadow calls, it’s reaching to consume— Your voice still screams, it cuts right through me Your shadow calls, it’s reaching to consume me [Outro – Clean Fade / Echo Vocals] (Return to clean tone, delay tail, same as intro chords) The night drifts in, I fade to silence The echoes whisper sweet defiance No more prayers, no more control Just fading echoes of my soul Your shadow fades, the pain still finds me The dark remains—it still reminds me Your name’s the wound that never dies And in the end... the shadows rise. (“Shadows rise... shadows rise...”)
