[Intro – soft piano + echoing guitar harmonics]
(female whisper)
I still hear the echoes…
of who I used to be.
(low scream fading in Verse 1)
And they never stop.
---
[Verse 1 – screamed vocals]
Buried truth beneath my skin,
Every scar, where I’ve been.
Tried to run, but I can’t hide,
The ghosts are always by my side.
They wear my face, they know my voice,
Remind me I don’t have a choice.
The past is loud, it drowns me whole,
And drags me down inside my soul.
---
[Pre-Chorus – female clean vocals, soft strings build]
Every time I try to breathe,
They pull me under, pull me beneath.
---
[Chorus – soaring female vocals + distant screams behind]
I’m haunted by myself,
By the pain I couldn’t kill.
I’m chained to every memory still.
These shadows never sleep,
They crawl when I am weak —
And whisper what I’ll never be.
---
[Verse 2 – screams / more energy + double kick]
I see reflections twist and break,
The person I was — I can’t escape.
They claw the walls, they feed on fear,
And I’m the reason they’re still here.
The silence cuts like rusted steel,
The weight I carry — too damn real.
No god, no cure, no empty prayer,
Can free the ghost that keeps me there.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean vocals + background choir pad]
Every time I try to run,
I find I’m chasing what I’ve become.
---
[Chorus – full, powerful clean + scream duet]
I’m haunted by myself,
By the pain I couldn’t kill.
I’m chained to every memory still.
These shadows never sleep,
They crawl when I am weak —
And whisper what I’ll never be.
---
[Bridge – slow breakdown / whispered vocals + ambient distortion (female whisper)]
You can’t escape what you are…
You made us… you made us…
(male scream)
I AM THE SHADOW!
I AM THE FEAR!
EVERY SIN — LIVES IN HERE!
[Heavy Guitar and Drum Solo]
---
[Breakdown – massive, slow, guttural screams]
Every step, they follow me!
Every thought, my enemy!
Can’t outrun what I’ve become —
I am the hunted one!
---
[Final Chorus – full cinematic energy, choir + female clean power vocals]
I’m haunted by myself,
By the lies I couldn’t heal.
I’m trapped inside what used to feel.
These ghosts, they call my name,
And I can’t break the chain —
My past will never fade away.
---
[Outro – soft piano, female whisper fading out]
(whisper)
I still hear the echoes…
and they sound like me.
