Echoes in the Dark

(Intro – soft, spoken)
Yeah…
Sometimes the loudest battles
are the ones nobody sees.
Echoes… in the dark.

(Verse 1 – Rap)

I’ve been running from the shadows in my mind,
Tryna find a little light but it’s hard to define.
People see the smile, never see the decline—
They don’t see the storm underneath my spine.
Heart heavy like a note on a broken key,
Piano in my chest playin’ minor melodies.
Every step feels deep, like it’s pullin’ on me,
But I still keep movin’, even when I can’t breathe.

(Pre-Chorus – sung)

And I hide it so well, you’d never know,
All the quiet things I never show.
My voice gets lost before it starts—
Just echoes, echoes in the dark.


(Chorus – sung, emotional, piano chords)

Echoes in the dark,
Callin’ out but nobody hears my heart.
Tryna hold on while I fall apart—
Still I rise, even shattered, even scarred.
Echoes in the dark,
But I’ll fight ’til I can see the spark.
In the quiet, where the pain leaves marks—
I’m still here…
Through the echoes in the dark.



(Verse 2 – Rap)

I’ve been walkin’ through the nights with a heavy soul,
Feelin’ all the empty spaces I can’t control.
Got a fire deep inside, but it’s burnin’ low,
Tryna breathe through the weight that they’ll never know.
I’m a whisper in a world that’s too loud to feel,
Talkin’ with a voice I can barely reveal.
But I swear I’m climbin’, even when I kneel—
Pain may be real, but so is my will.

(Pre-Chorus – sung)

And I hide it so well, you just can’t see
All the silent wars that live in me.
My truth gets lost before it starts—
Just echoes, echoes in the dark.

(Chorus – sung)

Echoes in the dark,
Callin’ out but nobody hears my heart.
Tryna hold on while I fall apart—
Still I rise, even shattered, even scarred.
Echoes in the dark,
But I’ll fight ’til I can see the spark.
In the quiet, where the pain leaves marks—
I’m still here…
Through the echoes in the dark.


(Bridge – half-sung, half-spoken)

One day I’ll find a light that lasts,
A chord that breaks the sound of the past.
’Til then, in the dark, I’ll learn my part—
Turn these echoes
into art.


(Final Chorus – soft then powerful)

Echoes in the dark,
Still I rise though I fall apart.
Through the quiet, through every mark—
I’ll keep walkin’ toward the spark.
Echoes in the dark,
Fadin’ slow as I heal my heart.
I’m still here…
And I’m stronger than the dark.
