[INTRO: clean arpeggios, soft brushed drums, a single distant chord held like a question, rain sound in the background] [VERSE 1 — low, intimate, close to the mic] I started talking to myself To fill the space you left behind But somewhere in the second verse I forgot which voice was mine The words were warm, the tone was kind They sounded just like someone else But I was sitting on my own Repeating lines I'd kept for myself [CHORUS 1 — begins to lift, bass and drums enter fully, harmonies open up] Echo chamber, sing me home Even if I'm here alone I don't need a different voice I just need a better choice Echo chamber, hold me still Let me learn to trust my will If I'm the only one who stays I'll learn to sing a better way [VERSE 2 — slightly more confident, still fragile, but moving forward] I used to think the silence meant I'd said too much or not enough But now I see the quiet lent A kind of language I could trust I'm not repeating old mistakes I'm just revisiting the sound Of someone learning how to take The steps that keep them on the ground [CHORUS 2 — bigger, wall of sound, hopeful, with aching guitar melody] Echo chamber, sing me home Even if I'm here alone I don't need a different voice I just need a better choice Echo chamber, hold me still Let me learn to trust my will If I'm the only one who stays I'll learn to sing a better way [BRIDGE — music drops to guitar and bass, spacious, reflective, like standing in a room after the rain] And maybe I don't need to leave Maybe I don't need to leave The room is not a cage It's just a place Where I can breathe [FINAL CHORUS — huge, soaring, long fading outro with guitar solo] Echo chamber, I'm okay I don't need to run away If I'm the only one who hears I'll still sing across the years Echo chamber, this is me Learning how to finally be The voice I didn't know I had The one that doesn't make me sad [OUTRO — guitar and drums slowly fade, voice hums the melody once, then silence]
