Faded Frames

Verse 1 (clean, airy vocals):
Empty streets recall our names,
Shadows of a summer that never came.
Laughter carved in broken stone,
I trace the echoes of a time I owned.

Pre-Chorus (whispery, atmospheric clean vocals):
And I reach, but the air slips through my hands,
Your voice is a ghost I can't command.

Chorus (screamed/harsh vocals blending with clean):
We’re fading, dissolving into frames,
Fragments of us, bound by invisible chains.
I scream to the sky, but it only rains,
Memories like ash, cold in my veins.

Verse 2 (melodic clean vocals with subtle distortion):
Photographs in a drawer,
Smiles I’ll never see anymore.
The walls breathe your scent in vain,
A haunting lullaby of sorrow and pain.

Bridge (post-metal heavy section, screams + atmospheric guitar):
Pull me under, drown me slow,
I’ll never let these memories go.
Cracks in the ceiling, light bleeds thin,
I’m trapped in the spiral I’ve always been.

Breakdown (blended screams and echoes):
And when I close my eyes,
Your shadow crawls through the lies.
I try to burn it out, but the fire dies—
Cold ashes fall from burning skies.

Outro (ambient, fading clean vocals with distorted guitar swell):
Faded frames, lost in time,
I chase a ghost I’ll never find.
Silent echoes, whispers remain,
I walk alone in your refrain
