Silent Echoes

(Intro)

(Soft, melancholic piano chords begin, fading slightly)

(Verse 1)

The city sleeps outside my window pane

Each distant siren whispers out a name

A name I can't quite place, a memory blurred

Just like the feelings that are never heard

(Pre-Chorus)

I build these walls so high, no one can see within

A fortress of composure, where the quiet begins

And every unspoken word becomes a heavy stone

Stacked in the silence, a burden I carry alone

(Chorus)

These silent echoes in my heart reside

A symphony of feelings I can't confide

I wear a painted smile, a mask to hide the pain

While all the unspoken words just fall like silent rain

(Verse 2)

The laughter rings around, a joyful sound

But in my chest, a deeper ache is found

They share their triumphs, and their fears take flight

While I just nod along, lost in the fading light

(Pre-Chorus)

I build these walls so high, no one can see within

A fortress of composure, where the quiet begins

And every unspoken word becomes a heavy stone

Stacked in the silence, a burden I carry alone

(Chorus)

These silent echoes in my heart reside

A symphony of feelings I can't confide

I wear a painted smile, a mask to hide the pain

While all the unspoken words just fall like silent rain

(Verse 3)

I watch the world go by, a vibrant hue

While my own world remains a shade of blue

I long to reach out, to let somebody know

But the fear of breaking down just makes me let go

(Pre-Chorus)

I build these walls so high, no one can see within

A fortress of composure, where the quiet begins

And every unspoken word becomes a heavy stone

Stacked in the silence, a burden I carry alone

(Chorus)

These silent echoes in my heart reside

A symphony of feelings I can't confide

I wear a painted smile, a mask to hide the pain

While all the unspoken words just fall like silent rain

(Outro)

(Piano chords return, softer and more drawn out)

Silent rain... falling down...

No one around... to hear a sound...

(Music fades to silence)
