[Intro – solo piano, ambient strings swelling softly]
(whispered)
I was silent in the fire...
But silence never saved me.
---
[Verse 1 – female vocal, low and trembling]
Falling deeper into echoes of my name
Every breath is colder, nothing feels the same
Woke up in the shadow of the scars I wear
Screaming without sound, but no one’s there
---
[Pre-Chorus – rising strings, drums sneak in]
I’m reaching, breaking—
But the world stays still
This emptiness I carry
Is louder than my will
---
[Chorus – explosion of distorted guitars, full band in]
Can you pull me out from under?
Raise the soul I lost to flame
I'm not gone, just buried deeper
In this war I never named
Don’t let the dark define me
Don't let me fade away
I'm within the ashes—
Waiting to be claimed
---
[Verse 2 – male rap/speak vocal enters over rhythmic guitar riff]
You called it silence, I called it chains
I lived in shadows soaked in shame
But beneath the burn, I’m more than bones
More than what the world disowns
---
[Bridge – vocal duet, both voices rising and clashing]
(Female)
I still remember light
(Male)
I still remember pain
(Both)
If we don’t rise tonight
Then we’ll burn again...
---
[Final Chorus – higher octave, layered harmonies, full drums]
Can you pull me out from under?
Raise the soul I lost to flame
I'm not gone, just buried deeper
In this war I never named
Light me with the truth you carry
Don’t let me fade away
I'm within the ashes—
Screaming to be saved
---
[Outro – stripped down piano + string fade]
(soft female vocal)
I’m still here…
Even in the fire.
