[Intro – Ambient Build]
(Soft rain falling... distant thunder... slow footsteps on wet leaves…)
(Faint wind, a deep forest echo...)
[Soft falsetto humming enters, like a ghost:]
Mm-mm-mm... ohh…
Breath in... breath out... still not sure I'm alive...
[Verse 1 – Sparse Piano + Lo-Fi Crackle]
Woke up, same sky, same ceiling
Mirror don’t lie, but I hate what I’m feeling
Mug’s gone cold, heart’s still numb
Counting days like I’m waiting for none
Leaves fall, time slips by
Each breath feels like a borrowed lie
No one checks, no one sees
I fake a smile in the arms of trees
[Pre-Chorus – Soft Synth Pad Enters, Vocals Layered with Echo]
Is it just me and the sound of the rain?
Is the world still turning, or am I the same?
I try to feel something, I try to be real
But nothing I touch can change how I feel
[Chorus – Melodic Swell, Vocal Doubles, Soft Drum Pulse Enters]
Why am I here?
What’s the point if no one hears?
I scream inside, it disappears
Like echoes fading into fear
Why… am I here?
[Interlude – Instrumental + Vocal Whisper Layer]
(Forest wind... birds flying off... fading heartbeats...)
(Whispers underneath: “Are you okay?” “I’m fine.” “Liar.”)
[Verse 2 – Guitar Fades In, Voice More Fragile]
Another hour, staring at the wall
Waiting for a sign that may never call
I touch the fog just to feel
But even the cold don’t help me heal
Everyone talks, but I hear none
Their words are shadows on a dying sun
They say light comes after pain
But all I’ve known is falling rain
[Pre-Chorus – Add Harmony + Reverb Trail]
Is it just me and the beat in my chest?
Even sleep won’t give me rest
I dream of roads that lead nowhere
And ask myself why I still care
[Chorus – Louder Vocal Build + Emotional Swell]
Why am I here?
What’s the point if no one hears?
I scream inside, it disappears
Like echoes fading into fear
Why… am I here?
[Bridge – Stripped Back | Deep Vocal Layer | Haunting Ambience]
Maybe the trees know what I don’t
Maybe the rain hides what I won’t
If this is it, then let it be
Just me and the forest swallowing me
*(Echoed backing vocal: “Swallowing me…”)
(Reverb-heavy falsetto hum over ambient chords)
[Final Chorus – Half-time Tempo | Big Swell + Drop Out to Silence]
Why am I here?
A whisper drowned in all my tears
If I vanish now, would it be clear?
Or would I just dissolve right here—
In the rain, in the fear…
Why… am I here?
[Outro – Fade to Rain + Forest Sounds]
(Thunder rumbles softly... breath…)
(Last sound: a footstep stops... heartbeat fades out...)
...then silence.
