Fading echoes

*(Soft piano intro with faint echoes of voices humming a mournful tune)*

**[Verse 1]**

I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone...

Can you hear me, hear me, hear me now?

The walls, they close, they close, they close in tight,

And the night, the night, the night won’t end.

*(Faint background voices repeating “won’t end, won’t end, won’t end...”)

**[Chorus]**

Falling down, down, down,

No one’s around, 'round, 'round.

I’m fading, fading, fading slow,

Where do broken shadows go?

*(Background voices echo “go, go, go...”)*

**[Verse 2]**

Empty streets, empty streets, empty streets...

Steps that lead, that lead, that lead to nowhere.

I scream, I scream, I scream but silence calls,

And it falls, it falls, it falls like rain.

*(Background voices softly whisper “rain, rain, rain...”)

**[Chorus]**

Falling down, down, down,

No one’s around, 'round, 'round.

I’m fading, fading, fading slow,

Where do broken shadows go?

*(Background voices echo “go, go, go...”)*

**[Bridge]**

(Softly sung, layered with haunting harmonies)

Time won’t wait, won’t wait, won’t wait...

Love won’t stay, won’t stay, won’t stay...

Dreams decay, decay, decay...

And I’m here, here, here to break.

*(Background voices chant “break, break, break...”)

**[Outro]**

I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone...

Can you hear me, hear me, hear me now?

The echoes fade, they fade, they fade to black,

And I won’t, I won’t, I won’t come back.

*(Piano fades into silence as voices softly murmur “back, back, back...” until nothing remains.)*
