Title: The Queen's Echo
[Intro]
(Slow, melancholic acoustic guitar picking)
(Deep, heavy 808 boom resonates slowly)
Yeah...
This the truth.
For Erica.
(Heavy sigh)
[Verse 1]
The silence in this house is getting louder every day
It’s a heavy kind of quiet, it’s a price I have to pay
I’m walking through the hallway, but I’m lost inside the dark
Searching for the light you used to carry in your heart
You took a broken man and you rebuilt me from the dust
You taught me how to live, you taught me how to truly trust
And now the floor is shifting, like I’m sinking in the sand
Just a hollowed-out vessel, without the guidance of your hand.
[Verse 2]
I watched you fight the cancer with a sword made out of grace
I saw the beauty radiating off your tired face
You were the anchor in the storm, the rock inside the tide
And now the world is empty, nowhere left to hide
Triple negative, they called it—a war without a sound
But you stood up in the rubble, and you never hit the ground
Her skin was pale as moonlight, but her spirit was the sun
Fighting battles for the decades, knowing life was almost done.
[Verse 3]
(Raw, pained delivery)
I watched the shadow claim the frame that held the light so bright
Day by day the demon fed, consuming all the sight
I saw the final sand slide through the hourglass of glass
Knowing every breath we shared was meant to be the last
I was dying with you nightly, watching every single frame
While my heart was turning charcoal, screaming out your name
I knew the day was coming, saw the finish line appear
And every sunrise felt like nails against the coffin of my fear.
[Verse 4]
(Staccato, heavy delivery)
Now I'm staring at the silence, pieces scattered on the floor
Like a kingdom left in ruins, open wide the bolted door
You were the master blueprint, the architecture of my soul
Without you here to guide me, I can't ever be made whole
But I’ll keep the fire burning, keep the embers in the light
Walking through the valley, even in the dead of night
Yeah, I’m shattered into nothing, just a ghost within the room
Planting flowers for a Queen that’s buried in the tomb.
[Verse 5]
(Vocal breaking, raw and intimate)
I watched the galaxy vanish, the spark retreat from your gaze
The light went out of the picture, ending our infinite days
I held you close to my chest, like a baby fragile and small
Then the floor came up to meet me, I didn't have strength left at all
I crumbled down to the earth, forfeiting the fight in my veins
Just weeping rivers of lead, washing away all the stains
I’m screaming "why" to the rafters, but the silence replies
God, how am I still breathing, with all this death in my eyes?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Vocal rising, pained and intense)
They talk about resilience like it’s something you can learn
But they never felt the fire, they never felt the burn
She was forged in the furnace, she was polished by the fear
And the only truth that mattered was the one I’m holding here.
[Chorus]
(Melodic, soulful delivery with heavy 808s)
Oh, my Queen, you were the air I needed just to breathe
The only soul on earth who wouldn't ever let me leave
You saw the potential when I was drowning in the shame
Now I’m screaming to the rafters, just to hear you say my name
My heart is just a weight, sinking deeper in the deep
I’m counting up the memories, 'cause I can’t get no sleep
You were my once in a lifetime, my unconditional love
And now you’re watching over me from the galaxy above.
[Bridge]
(Acapella Break - Raw, fragile, breaking voice)
I’m reaching for your hand, but I’m grabbing at the air
Just a hollow, empty silence, and a cross I have to bear
You were the masterpiece, the original design
The finest piece of heaven that was ever truly mine.
(Full instrumentation kicks back in - heavy and mournful)
[Final Verse]
(Soft, fading, whispered intensity)
The battle’s over, Erica, the armor’s cast aside
You’re resting in the glory where the weary souls abide
I’ll keep the fire burning, I’ll keep the name alive
I’ll find a way to live, just to prove we did survive
But the world is just a shadow, and the colors have turned gray
Until I find you waiting, at the end of every day.
[Outro]
(Pedal steel fading into nothingness)
My Queen...
Rest now.
I love you...
(Fade to silence)
