[Intro Ambient synths swell in slowly. Clean guitar picking with heavy reverb. No drums. Just space and stillness. Soft vocals]
I talk to shadows like they talk back
Empty chairs, but I’ve learned to laugh
The echo fills the space I keep
Where love once lived, now I just sleep
---
[Verse 1 Clean electric guitar with delay. Soft kick drum and hi-hat enter. Warm bass undercurrent. Dreamy, melancholic tone. Clean vocals]
Every night I drown in quiet noise
No replies, just static in my voice
But I light a match in this endless dark
And I trace my scars like they’re works of art
---
[Chorus Guitars grow heavy but melodic. Drums hit harder with a half-time groove. Ambient textures rise with layered synths. Emotional clean vocals]
I’m still breathing in silence
Found peace in the violence
Of being alone, but not broken
I speak in stillness, unspoken
And I don’t need saving tonight
I’m learning to live with no light
---
[Verse 2 Guitar distortion thickens. Downtuned chugs behind melodic lead guitar. Drums groove deeper. Tension builds. Clean vocals with layered fry screams beneath]
I write my pain on the ceiling above
So when I wake, I remember I’m tough
I’ve built a world from the pieces they left
Not whole, not healed, but doing my best
---
[Breakdown sudden drop. Slow, crushing guitar chugs. Heavy bass drops. Ambient synths remain in the distance. Fry screams]
You don’t need to understand me
I’ve made peace with this insanity
If I bleed, I bleed with grace
Loneliness won’t take my place
---
[Bridge all instruments pull back. Clean guitar with heavy reverb returns. Ambient pads shimmer beneath a soft piano. Soft falsetto vocals]
I learned to smile without a mirror
To calm the storm, to face the fear
This isn’t joy, it’s something near
But I’ll take it... I’m still here
---
[Final Chorus full-band swell. Melodic lead guitar soars. Drums open up with emotion. Harmonies layer in the background. Emotional clean vocals with harmonies]
I’m still breathing in silence
Found strength in the quiet defiance
I’m alone, but I’m not gone
My soul’s still singing a lonely song
I don’t need saving tonight
I’m living... without the light
---
[Outro]
[Clean guitars fade to soft picking. Ambient synths drift into silence. Final tom hits echo faintly.]
[whispered vocals]
Still breathing...
Still here...
Still me.
