Echoes Through the Wall

[Intro] FiredStarfish4 Studio B [Intro] [Heavy rain falling] [Distant crying SFX] [Muffled screams in background] [Choir Kobiet] Mm-hm... the rain falls hard on the iron roof... Mm-hm... nobody hears the truth. [Real] Yeah... Look. Another bottle hits the floor, another shadow at the door. It’s 3 AM in the compound, and I’m writing to you, Lexxi... Just hoping someone out there still remembers how to breathe. [Verse 1] [Real] The compound gate is locked, but the fear is walking free, Every heavy footstep sounds like a sentence passed on me. My old man comes home, reeking of cheap gin and rage, Turning this concrete room into a suffocating cage. I see my mother sitting quiet, praying with her beads, While the belt hits the table to harvest bloody seeds. You know how it goes down when the silence gets too loud, We’re just ghosts living inside a violent, broken cloud. I stare at the ceiling, tracing cracks like spider webs, Counting every breath, dreading what the morning brings instead. I wrote your name on the wall, Lexxi, just to stay sane, Hoping your voice on the radio could wash away the stain. [Chorus] [Lexxi Raw] And the rain keeps pouring down on the window pane, Washing away the blood, but it leaves the stain. We were running from the dark, we were chasing light, Trapped inside the monsters of a endless night! [Choir Kobiet] Eee-le... We are breaking down! Eee-le... No one hears the sound! [Lexxi Raw] If you scream my name, will you find a way? Or are we just bound to the price we pay? [Verse 2] [Real] Dear Lexxi, I left a letter right beside the door, I can’t take another night bleeding on this kitchen floor. The younger ones are hiding underneath the wooden bed, With all those terrifying voices echoing inside their head. He raised his hand again, and this time something in me snapped, Like a hunted animal finally cornered and trapped. I looked into his eyes and I didn’t feel no fear, Just a cold realization that my time of grace is here. I remember your track playing softly on my broken phone, Reminding me that out there, I don’t have to die alone. So I packed my single bag, grabbed the keys, turned the lock, Leaving behind the ticking of that abusive clock. [Chorus] [Lexxi Raw] And the rain keeps pouring down on the window pane, Washing away the blood, but it leaves the stain. We were running from the dark, we were chasing light, Trapped inside the monsters of a endless night! [Choir Kobiet] Eee-le... We are breaking down! Eee-le... No one hears the sound! [Lexxi Raw] If you scream my name, will you find a way? Or are we just bound to the price we pay? [Bridge] [Real] I’m walking out into the midnight rain, Lexxi... The heavy gates are behind me now. My feet are bleeding, but for the first time in my life... ...they are moving forward. [Lexxi Raw] The night is dark, but the dawn is near... Step into the light, leave behind the fear. You are free... you are free now... [Outro] [Real] No more shadows in the compound! No more blood upon the ground! I survived the storm, I broke the chain! [Choir Kobiet] O-lo-we! The heavy chains are gone! O-lo-we! We walk into the dawn! [Lexxi Raw] We made it out... out of the dark... [Rain intensifies] [Footsteps fading out]
