[Intro — Grand Piano & A Cappella Choir] (Soft piano, distant stacked soprano harmonies) Ooooh… ahhh… Ooooh… ahhh… I still hear your name When the whole world fades… [Verse 1 — Piano, Female Lead] I keep your picture by the window Where the morning used to shine But every ray of light reminds me Of the things we left behind I tried to bury every memory I tried to let the silence win But every night when I close my eyes I feel you breathing here again [Pre-Chorus — Strings Begin Rising] And I know you're gone But you're still inside Every broken piece I couldn't leave behind [Chorus — Full Symphonic Rock] You're the ghost inside the silence The echo underneath my skin I keep reaching through the darkness But I can't find you again And if my heart could stop remembering Maybe I could finally breathe But you're the ghost inside the silence And you're never letting go of me [Post-Chorus — A Cappella Choir] Ooooh… Ahhh… Ooooh… You're never letting go… [Verse 2 — Piano & Low Strings] I hear your footsteps in the hallway Though I know there's no one there I turn around and see an empty room But somehow feel you everywhere We had a thousand words unspoken And a lifetime left to say Now I'm talking to the shadows That keep calling out your name [Pre-Chorus — Building Strings] And I know you're gone But I still deny That some goodbyes Don't get another try [Chorus — Bigger] You're the ghost inside the silence The echo underneath my skin I keep reaching through the darkness But I can't find you again And if my heart could stop remembering Maybe I could finally breathe But you're the ghost inside the silence And you're never letting go of me [Bridge — Nearly A Cappella] (Piano drops away; layered soprano choir circles underneath) Maybe someday I'll forgive the night Maybe someday I'll step into the light But tonight I'm still holding on To a love that disappeared But never really died [Instrumental Break — Symphonic Build] Grand piano arpeggios → cello → violins → massive toms → distorted guitars [Final Chorus — Heavy Power Chords & Full Choir] You're the ghost inside the silence The fire underneath my skin I won't keep drowning in the darkness I won't let you pull me in And though my heart still remembers you I finally know I have to leave You're the ghost inside the silence But you're not taking what's left of me [Finale — Heavy Gothic Rock] (Huge power chords, crashing cymbals, soaring strings) I won't break… I won't fall… I won't disappear… You're only a ghost… And I'm still here! [Outro — A Cappella Choir & Piano] Ooooh… ahhh… Ooooh… ahhh… (choir fades into chapel reverb) I'm still here… I'm still here…
