[Vinyl record ambience. ]
[Atmospheric grunge rock ballad. ]
[Slow and haunting.]
[Whispered female intro vocal. ]
[Tape echo delay using Echofix style unit with dotted 1/8 note timing. ]
[Phaser modulation creating swirling] rhythmic guitar texture. ]
[Distant reverb guitars. ]

[Emotional slow build into powerful chorus.]
(Whispered words)
Somewhere in this city…
Someone’s calling out tonight…
(Pause break)
(Verse 1)
Streetlights flicker in the rain
Empty bottles by the door
Broken whispers in the alley
Like a ghost behind a wall
I saw someone in the shadows
Trying hard to disappear
Every step a silent cry
Every breath a trace of fear
(Pre-Chorus)
And the echoes in the dark
Tell a story no one hears
(Chorus)
I hear the echoes in the dark
Every wounded, shattered heart
Every soul that slipped too far
Trying to find the light again
Through the silence and the scars
Through the cold forgotten years
There’s a voice inside the night
Calling through the echoes of fear
(Verse 2)
She was shaking in the doorway
Bruises hidden in the night
Words that fell like shattered glass
Every promise turned to lies
I said you don’t have to stay here
You don’t have to fight alone
There’s a road beyond this darkness
There’s a place you can call home
(Pre-Chorus)
And the echoes in the dark
Start to fade when hope appears
(Chorus)
I hear the echoes in the dark
Every wounded, shattered heart
Every soul that slipped too far
Trying to find the light again
Through the silence and the scars
Through the cold forgotten years
There’s a voice inside the night
Calling through the echoes of fear
(Bridge)
Sometimes the bravest thing
Is simply walking away
Sometimes the smallest light
Can break the darkest day
[Atmospheric guitar swell with tape echo]
(Final Chorus)
I hear the echoes in the dark
Every wounded, shattered heart
Every soul that slipped too far
Trying to find the light again
Through the silence and the scars
Through the cold forgotten years
There’s a voice inside the night
Calling through the echoes of fear
(Outro)
[Music softens]
(Whispered words)
You’re not alone tonight…
He's closer than you think..
[Tape echo repeats softly]
