[Intro – Faint choir, low piano, heartbeat fading into static]
Whispered:
"You let me go…
So why am I still here?"
---
[Verse 1 – Slow, cold delivery]
I thought the dark would hold me tight,
Thought silence meant a final night.
But I woke up with heavier chains,
Still trapped beneath the same old pain.
I counted stars and swallowed screams,
Made a home in dying dreams.
I carved the path with shaking hands —
But still I stand, where no one stands.
---
[Pre-Chorus – Building tension]
You let me fall, but I hit no ground,
Just kept on falling with no sound.
Every goodbye I screamed out loud
Just echoed back inside a cloud.
---
[Chorus – Full band swell, despairing tone]
Still here… and I don’t know why.
Still breathing when I prayed to die.
I begged the void to take control,
But it spit me back — no heart, no soul.
Still stuck beneath this aching skin,
Where every loss just breathes within.
You let me go, said, “Now you’re free” —
But I’m still here, just not me.
---
[Verse 2 – Melancholic melody, soft vocals]
They said, "Time heals," but time forgot.
It left me here to rot and rot.
I wear a mask so no one sees
The dying thing that lives in me.
I used to cry — now I just blink.
Every feeling’s on the brink.
My hands are cold, my mouth is dry,
I don't even care enough to lie.
---
[Bridge – Gothic choir and whispers]
Choir (distant, solemn):
"Miserere nobis…"
(Have mercy on us…)
Whispered:
"I reached the end, I saw the gate.
But something dragged me back to hate."
I drank the bottle, broke the glass,
Lit the match, watched hope collapse.
But nothing took. No flames, no grave —
Just shadows that refused to cave.
---
[Pre-Chorus – Now screaming]
You let me fall, but it never ends,
This loop of loss that just pretends.
No peace, no light, just static hum,
And I’m too tired to try or run.
---
[Chorus – Anguished crescendo]
Still here… and I don’t know why.
Still waking up just to wish I could cry.
I begged for silence, begged for peace,
But I'm a wound that won't release.
I don't feel fear, I don’t feel pain,
Just echoes screaming in my brain.
You let me go, you watched me fade —
But I’m still stuck where demons prayed.
---
[Outro – Quiet, fading piano, final whisper]
Whispered:
"I let go.
But the world held on…
and that’s the cruelest part."
