Echoes of the broken

(Verse 1)

The silence screams, a hollow sound, where your last footsteps fell.

Just memories in this empty room, a personal kind of hell.

I trace the lines upon the floor where we once stood so tall,

But all I find is shattered glass and the echoes of your call.

Every photograph a ghost, every shadow a lie,

Pretending that you're coming back, and trying not to cry.

The world keeps spinning, unaware of the pieces left behind,

Of a promise that was built to last, a love I can’t unbind.

(Chorus)

I'm caught in the echoes of the broken,

A world turned gray, a word unspoken.

This isn't how it's supposed to be,

A fractured frame of you and me.

Every second is a thousand years,

Drowning in these silent tears.

The shattered glass reflects the pain,

Lost in a cold and endless rain.

(Verse 2)

The radio plays our favorite song, a twisted, cruel design,

Another moment that's now gone, a feeling so confined.

I feel the static in my veins, a buzzing, numb defeat,

A heartbeat that no longer beats to your familiar, steady beat.

The walls are closing in on me, a pressure in my chest,

I'm holding on to what we were, putting it to the test.

The mirror shows a stranger's face, a version I don't know,

Trapped in this familiar place, watching the colors go.

(Chorus)

I'm caught in the echoes of the broken,

A world turned gray, a word unspoken.

This isn't how it's supposed to be,

A fractured frame of you and me.

Every second is a thousand years,

Drowning in these silent tears.

The shattered glass reflects the pain,

Lost in a cold and endless rain.

(Bridge)

The anger burns, a bitter fire, fueled by this hollow space,

I wanna scream and tear it down, this memory I can't erase.

A storm of fury, pure and raw, a desperate, frantic fight,

To break away from all of this and find a sliver of light.

The glass is everywhere I look, a thousand broken views,

Of who we were, of what we lost, of all the things I lose.

(Outro)

Shattered glass…

Just shattered glass…

I'm buried underneath the pieces…

(Drums and distorted guitar intensify, vocals become more strained and raw)

Shattered…

Broken…

I can’t breathe…

(Music abruptly cuts out with a final, echoing guitar feedback)
