[Intro – haunting piano, low strings]
[soft, ethereal female vocal tone]
Whispers on the glass,
Shadows breathing back my name.
I’ve been silent far too long,
Half-alive, and half-ashamed.
---
[Verse 1 – calm but tense build]
Cold reflection in my eyes,
I forgot what warmth feels like.
Every dream I buried deep,
Still calling through my sleep.
The world moves on — I stay the same,
A fading spark beneath the rain.
I lost my voice to fear and pain,
But I still hear the flame.
---
[Pre-Chorus – light drums enter, pulse rising]
Something’s breaking under skin,
A rhythm screaming to begin.
Can you feel it pulling through?
The fire waking up the truth.
---
[Chorus – full band explosion]
Awaken me — from this hollow, frozen tide!
Light the ashes where I hide!
Tear the silence, tear the night,
Show me I’m still alive inside!
Awaken me — I’m not afraid to bleed!
The pain reminds me I still need!
Breathe me back from what I’ve been,
Let me rise again — awaken me!
---
[Verse 2 – heavy drums + distorted guitars]
Walls I built now start to fall,
Echoes fade — I hear your call.
Every wound becomes a door,
I’m not who I was before.
I’m standing in the flood I feared,
It’s washing clean what disappeared.
My hands still shake, but I can see,
A stronger ghost of me.
---
[Pre-Chorus – strings rise, emotional lift]
Every crack becomes a sign,
Of where the dark met the divine.
And though I fall, I’ll still ascend,
My story’s just begun again.
---
[Chorus – full power reprise]
Awaken me — from this hollow, frozen tide!
Light the ashes where I hide!
Tear the silence, tear the night,
Show me I’m still alive inside!
Awaken me — I’m not afraid to bleed!
The pain reminds me I still need!
Breathe me back from what I’ve been,
Let me rise again — awaken me!
---
[Bridge – quiet moment, atmospheric piano + vocal whisper]
[voice trembling but resolute]
Don’t let me fade into the dark,
There’s still a spark beneath the scar…
If I fall again, don’t let me die —
Just hold my voice against the sky.
[beat returns — drums roll, guitar swell]
---
[Final Chorus – layered harmonies + cinematic ending]
Awaken me — let the thunder burn my chains!
I’ve been lost, but not in vain!
Through the fear and broken skin,
I am reborn from deep within!
Awaken me — my heart’s no longer numb!
Every scar’s where light becomes!
Breathe me back, eternity —
And let the dark remember me!
---
[Outro – fading piano, whispered line]
[soft echo]
“I was never gone… just sleeping.”
