Golden

(Verse 1 – soft, eerie, distant echo on vocals)

I was born with the sun in my eyes,

Golden days, no fear, no lies.

Told to believe, told to obey,

But where is He now when I’m lost in the grey?

(Pre-Chorus – tension building, whispered/distant vocals, synths rising)

The prayers feel hollow, the silence cuts deep,

I reach for the sky, but it won’t reach for me.

(Chorus – big impact, distorted guitars, heavy drums, raw emotion in voice)

I’m falling away, can’t feel the ground,

Screaming for answers, but there’s no sound.

I started with light, I started with grace,

Now I just burn in this godless place.

(Verse 2 – darker, more intensity in delivery, glitchy electronic elements in background)

I swore there was meaning, I swore there was love,

But nothing looks holy when push comes to shove.

Every prayer’s just static, every sign’s just a ghost,

And I’m still alone with the thing I fear most.

(Pre-Chorus – slight vocal distortion, layered with whispers)

The echoes come back, but they don’t sound right,

Just shadows of faith that died in the night.

(Chorus – full force, maybe some vocal fry, big soundscape)

I’m falling away, can’t feel the ground,

Screaming for answers, but there’s no sound.

I started with light, I started with grace,

Now I just burn in this godless place.

(Bridge – stripped down, haunting synths, whispered/delayed vocals)

Maybe I was blind, maybe I was wrong,

Maybe He left and I’m here all alone.

Or maybe He never was, maybe I bled,

For a ghost in my head that was already dead.

(Final Chorus – raw, desperate, distorted, then fades into eerie silence)

I’m falling away, can’t feel the ground,

Screaming for answers, but there’s no sound.

I started with light, I started with grace,

Now I just burn in this godless place.

(Outro – single haunting piano note, stat
