Memories of a Dream

[Double bass and piano solo intro]

[Intro]
[In a whispering voice]
Silent cries, fall on deafened ears
A hollow whisper, of all my fears

[Verse 1]
[louder voice]
Broken bridges behind my eyes
Shattered dreams, can’t cross stormy skies 
Choices carved in silent stone
Like a stoic statue, now I sit alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step, a past I chase
Now memories fade without a trace
Spent too much time, looking behind 
I missed a future, that I cannot find
But in the shadows, I confront
The pain, the truth I can't out—run.

[Chorus]
Falling through the dark abyss
Lost in the flames of what I miss
Heart bleeding, torn apart
Accepting the broken part
Of who I was, what I lost
Carved in time at endless cost
Pain my prayer, my silent scream
Living in this shattered dream

[Bridge]
Echoes whisper of regret
Ghosts of mistakes I cannot  forget
In the silence, I can see
What I once had, was not meant to be

[extended heavy, low bass riff solo with syncopation]

[Outro]
[Screaming vocals]
[building intensity]
Now I stand in the ruin’s glow
Healing comes too slow
Acceptance, my retreat
In the darkness, I am complete

[Chorus]
Falling through the dark abyss
Lost in the flames of what I miss
Heart bleeding, torn apart
Accepting the broken part
Of who I was, what I lost
Carved in time at endless cost
Pain my prayer, my silent scream
Living in this shattered dream

Dream….
Dream….
I dream….
I dream….

[piano solo]

[final chorus]
[slower, melancholic over piano]
I dream,
Of you.
I see,
The truth. 
I bleed, 
My regret.
I seek,
My end. 
I dream…
