[Intro – Whispered Vocal & Ambient Guitar Fade-In]
"I cried… when I woke up… and you weren’t there…"
[Verse 1 – I Cry Embers]
I said it to the world, I don’t love you,
But embers glow in morning dew,
The dawn of time unravels slow,
I hold my pillow… and let it go.
[Pre-Chorus]
I laughed when they asked about you,
Let's rise above to that true call too,
Played strong, like you’re out my mind,
Break the chains, leave fear behind.
[Chorus]
I cried… thinking of words left behind,
Burning the world with tears confined,
I lied… when I said I didn’t care,
We release the sparking embers there.
[Guitar Solo – Emotional bends over warm synth pads]
[Verse 2 – I Cry Embers]
Your jacket’s still here in fading light,
One ember breaks through darkest night,
I hate how I love what’s gone,
Salutations to an end long drawn.
[Pre-Chorus]
I smiled in every picture bright,
World unravels through ancient sights,
But under covers tears still fall,
Soul rising in its final call.
[Chorus]
I cried… when you weren’t by my side,
Feel every relaying mist inside,
I lied… my frozen soul remembers,
I cried… through the sparking embers.
[Saxophone Solo – soulful, lingering over ambient pads]
[Bridge]
I’m tired of pretending it’s all okay,
Echoing calls through ashes gray,
If you asked me to love again,
These embers burn without end.
[Chorus – Final, layered harmonies]
I cried… thinking of words left behind,
Burning the world with tears confined,
I lied… when I said I didn’t care,
We release the sparking embers there.
[Violin Solo – cinematic and haunting melody]
[Outro – Whisper fading with soft synth drones]
I cried… I cried…
(soft whisper) …sparking embers…
[end]
