ECHOES IN THE EMPTY

INTRO

Your silence isn’t peace…

it’s a weapon.

VERSE 1

I keep my heart on read, like it’s nothing

Like I’m not breaking with every second

I’m acting strong, I’m dressed in “fine”

But inside, I’m losing time

I stare at the last words like a locked door

Like if I stare long enough, you’ll return

But the space between “us” grows teeth

And I’m learning how silence breathes

PRE-CHORUS

You don’t even have to leave to make me lost

You just disappear while standing close

And I’m stuck between holding on and letting go

Tell me what this is — I need to know

CHORUS (UNISON)

You left echoes in the empty

Where your love used to live

I’m bleeding out in quiet

From the nothing that you give

You left echoes in the empty

And they crawl under my skin

I don’t need words that save me

I need truth — or I can’t win

VERSE 2

I miss you in the stupid little things

In the way my body still remembers

Your hands like heat, your breath like sin

Now it’s cold where you’ve been

And I hate that I still want you near

Even when you make me fear

That I’m loving something half alive

While I’m burning just to survive

PRE-CHORUS 2

Don’t tell me you care in a silent way

Care doesn’t vanish for days

If I matter, then show it — don’t hide

Because I can’t heal where you won’t decide

CHORUS (UNISON)

You left echoes in the empty

Where your love used to live

I’m bleeding out in quiet

From the nothing that you give

You left echoes in the empty

And they crawl under my skin

I don’t need words that save me

I need truth — or I can’t win

BRIDGE (ruhig, dann Drop)

I’m tired of guessing your weather

Tired of storms I can’t name

Tired of loving a shadow

That still wears your face

If you’re drowning, let me know

If you’re done, say it cold

But don’t keep me on the edge of hope

Like a story never told

BUILD UP

One message could stop this shaking

One sentence could cut me free

But you feed me crumbs of “maybe”

And it’s killing me

FINAL CHORUS (UNISON – episch)

You left echoes in the empty

And I can’t sleep anymore

I keep reaching for your heartbeat

But there’s nothing at the door

You left echoes in the empty

Like a curse I can’t outrun

So I’m taking back my power

Before you turn me into none

OUTRO

Silence has a sound.

And it screams your name
