[Intro – clean electric guitar picking + ambient pad swelling] (whispers) "Every sound... is just a mirror." [Verse 1 – voice soft, growing in intensity] I walk these streets like I’m sleepin’ awake Every step, just another mistake Reflections talk in a voice not mine Like echoes stuck in a looped rewind The world’s too loud but I can’t hear My own thoughts drown in static and fear Tried to scream but it bounced right back Guess silence knows how to attack [Pre-Chorus – vocals tighten, tension builds] Locked in this room made of glass and doubt Can’t break through ‘til I figure it out... [Chorus – full distortion, emotional belt] I wanna break the echo— Tear down the walls inside my head! Burn every ghost I used to follow And feel something real instead! No more shadows callin’ my name I’m not playin’ their hollow game I’ll break the echo— Even if I lose what’s left! [Verse 2 – slightly raspier vocal, groove riff underneath] I traced my scars like a road map home But all I found was a graveyard phone Messages lost in the wires of time Saying “You were never really mine” [Pre-Chorus – stronger vocal layers] But I’m done with trying to be your sound I'm tuning out what pulls me down— [Chorus – reprise with more backing vocals] I wanna break the echo— Tear down the walls inside my head! Burn every ghost I used to follow And feel something real instead! No more shadows callin’ my name I’m not playin’ their hollow game I’ll break the echo— Even if I lose what’s left! [Bridge – guitar solo over half-tempo beat, ends with whispered vocal] (whispered) "They said the noise would make me strong... But all it did was make me numb." [Final Chorus – full energy with background gang vocals and layered guitars] I wanna break the echo— Crush the chains around my chest! I’d rather feel the fall than follow A lie dressed up like rest! No more echoes callin’ my name I’m alive and I’m not the same I broke the echo— Now I’m loud as hell and blessed. [Outro – fading feedback + ticking clock sample]
