[Intro] [Atmospheric clean electric guitar, distant ambient textures, soft piano] [Male Vocal 1, intimate and breathy] I didn’t know where I was going I just knew I couldn’t stay Sometimes the hardest thing to do Is turn your back and walk away [Verse 1] [Restrained drums, warm bass, intimate vocal delivery] There were cracks beneath the surface We kept painting over gold I was freezing in the summer You were someone I no longer knew I kept waiting for a reason For a sign to make me stay But the silence got so heavy That I couldn’t breathe another day [Pre-Chorus] [Building guitars, rising drums, increasing vocal intensity] And I was scared of what was waiting On the other side of goodbye But I was more afraid of wasting Another year of my life [Chorus] [Full explosive indie rock band, soaring melodic male vocals, anthemic drums] I walked out on faith With nowhere to go No promise of sunshine No answers I know I left all the pieces Of who I had been With nothing but hope That I’d find me again I walked out on faith And I don’t know what’s next But I’d rather face the unknown Than live with regret If there’s a light somewhere Through all of this grey I’ll find it somehow I walked out on faith [Verse 2] [Driving bass, steady drums, melodic electric guitar] There’s a photograph I’m keeping From a life I used to know Funny how the things you treasure Can become the things you outgrow And I still hear the conversations That I wish we’d never had But missing what we used to be Doesn’t mean I want it back [Pre-Chorus] [Building tension, layered backing vocals] And I was scared of being lonely Of the silence in my room But I’d rather meet the morning Than keep living in that gloom [Chorus] [Full band, powerful vocal delivery, layered harmonies] I walked out on faith With nowhere to go No promise of sunshine No answers I know I left all the pieces Of who I had been With nothing but hope That I’d find me again I walked out on faith And I don’t know what’s next But I’d rather face the unknown Than live with regret If there’s a light somewhere Through all of this grey I’ll find it somehow I walked out on faith [Bridge] [Everything drops away, piano and vulnerable lead vocal] [Gradually build with atmospheric guitars] Maybe I’ll fall Maybe I’ll break Maybe I’ll question Every step that I take Maybe the road Won’t lead me to gold But at least it’s a story That I get to control [Drums build, guitars swell] I don’t need a map I don’t need a sign I just need to know That this life is mine! [Final Chorus] [Huge cinematic indie rock climax, crashing drums, soaring guitars, passionate vocals, backing harmonies] I walked out on faith With nowhere to go No promise of sunshine No answers I know I left all the pieces Of who I had been With nothing but hope That I’d find me again I walked out on faith And I’m still standing here With a heart full of questions And nothing to fear If there’s a light somewhere I’m finding my way I lost what I had But I found me today [Outro] [Band drops away, clean guitar and intimate vocal] I didn’t know where I was going I just knew I couldn’t stay Sometimes you have to lose it all To find yourself along the way [Final instrumental guitar note fades into silence]
