Voices Don’t Fade

[INTRO – Ambient Pads | distant echoes | reverse piano]

I can hear it in the silence

Like a ghost inside my head

Every word I tried to bury

Still repeating what you said






[VERSE 1 – Rap | tight flow | low energy build]

Yeah

I tried to cut it out, tried to let it go

Every memory burning but it never slows

Got a war in my chest, got a voice in my mind

Every step that I take, yeah, it’s stuck on rewind



I was chasing every shadow just to feel alive

Now I’m buried in the truth that I tried to hide

You were there in the dark when I lost control

Now your echo’s the only thing that I know






[PRE-CHORUS – rising tension | layered vocals]

I tried to run but it follows me

Every scar is a part of me

No escape from the sound inside






[CHORUS – melodic | powerful | full drums + guitars]

These voices don’t fade away

They’re carved in the words you say

I tried to break but I couldn’t change

Now I’m lost in the echo again



I’m screaming but nothing breaks

Still drowning in my mistakes

No matter how far I run

I’m lost in the echo I’ve become






[DROP – electronic + guitar hits | vocal chops]

(Oh-oh) Lost in the echo

(Oh-oh) I can’t let go






[VERSE 2 – Rap | more aggressive | layered distortion]

I keep digging through the past like it’s buried gold

But the deeper that I go, it just takes its toll

Every lie that I told got a price to pay

Now the truth hits harder every single day



You were more than a memory, more than pain

Now your voice like a storm in my brain

I tried silence, I tried escape

But the echo just grows, yeah it resonates






[PRE-CHORUS – stronger | harmonies]

I tried to run but it follows me

Every scar is a part of me

No escape from the sound inside






[CHORUS – bigger | choir backing]

These voices don’t fade away

They’re carved in the words you say

I tried to break but I couldn’t change

Now I’m lost in the echo again



I’m screaming but nothing breaks

Still drowning in my mistakes

No matter how far I run

I’m lost in the echo I’ve become






[BRIDGE – emotional | half-time | piano + vocal focus]

If I could rewrite every line

Would it silence what’s inside?

Or would I still hear your name

In every breath, in every pain?






[FINAL CHORUS – explosive | full band + screams]

These voices don’t fade away

They’re carved in the words you say

I tried to break but I couldn’t change

Now I’m lost in the echo again



I’m screaming but nothing breaks

Still drowning in my mistakes

No matter how far I run

I’m lost in the echo I’ve become






[OUTRO – fading echoes | glitch FX | piano]

Lost… in the echo…

Lost… in the echo…
