Ashes And Echoes

(Intro – Soft piano, low cello, ambient guitar feedback)

It wasn’t the fire that broke me…

It was the silence that followed.

⸻

(Verse 1 – Clean guitar + strings)

You left your ghost inside my chest

Now every breath feels like regret

I trace your name in shattered glass

Still hoping time can bring you back

(Pre-Chorus – Tension builds)

But every clock just screams too loud

And every crowd feels like a shroud

⸻

(Chorus – Full band crashes in with orchestral boom)

Ashes and echoes — that’s all that remains

Your memory’s burning in every vein

I scream but you’re fading like smoke in the sky

Still chasing the pieces you left behind

I reach through the pain…

But it’s always the same…

Ashes and echoes

Calling your name

⸻

(Verse 2 – Back to soft, but uneasy)

I walk the halls of who we were

The echoes crack beneath each word

Violins cry like I never could

And I’d bleed it all out if I thought it would

(Pre-Chorus – Layers rising)

They say the past is just a dream

But you still haunt my everything

⸻

(Chorus – Stronger, strings slicing through distortion)

Ashes and echoes — that’s all that remains

Your shadow’s still dancing in every flame

I whisper your name through the smoke and the static

But all I get back is a silence so tragic

I reach through the pain…

But it’s always the same…

Ashes and echoes

Calling your name

⸻

(Bridge – Orchestral spotlight, vocal breakdown)

I built a grave from our last goodbye

But somehow, I still hear you cry

In every note, in every line…

You’re frozen in the sound of time

⸻

(Final Chorus – Explosive and raw)

Ashes and echoes — you’re still in the air

I breathe in the loss like you’re still there

I fight to forget, but your ghost’s in my bones

And I’m screaming your name through the smoke alone

I reach through the pain…

But it’s always the same…

Ashes and echoes…

Still calling your name

(Outro – Fade with strings, piano echoes final notes)

You never really left… did you?
