Verse 1
The glass is empty, the neon's gone
Another hollow dawn, I watch alone
Your side of the bed is ice and dust
A shattered promise built on fading trust
I trace the lines where your head would rest
A silent phantom, passing every test
Of keeping me awake, of driving me mad
The worst damn ending to the best we had.
Pre-Chorus
The clock on the wall ticks like a grenade
Counting down the seconds of the choice you made
You walked away and never looked behind
Leaving only ashes for my tortured mind.
Chorus
And the silence is a symphony of screaming
A broken melody where I'm still dreaming
You're the ghost in our echoes, haunting my sleep
A debt of sorrow that I cannot keep.
This wound won't close, it's open wide and bleeding
My heart's a drum, relentlessly repeating:
"Gone... Gone... Gone..."
The battle's lost, the war has just begun.
Verse 2
I smashed the pictures, burned the letters slow
But the memory, darling, refuses to go
It claws its way back, a relentless tide
There's nowhere left for my sanity to hide.
I listen close for your familiar key
But there's just the sound of the wind mocking me
Telling me I'm foolish, telling me I'm weak
Another word you'll never let me speak.
Pre-Chorus
The clock on the wall ticks like a grenade
Counting down the seconds of the choice you made
You walked away and never looked behind
Leaving only ashes for my tortured mind.
Chorus
And the silence is a symphony of screaming
A broken melody where I'm still dreaming
You're the ghost in our echoes, haunting my sleep
A debt of sorrow that I cannot keep.
This wound won't close, it's open wide and bleeding
My heart's a drum, relentlessly repeating:
"Gone... Gone... Gone..."
The battle's lost, the war has just begun.
Bridge (Heavy Distortion/Screaming Vocal)
I built my fortress out of all your lies!
Now I stand alone beneath these empty skies!
You took the light and left the burning core!
I'm not broken, I am RIPPING at the floor!
This pain is mine, I'll wear it like a crown!
Until the day this wreckage is pulled down!
Guitar Solo (Fast, Technical, Emotional)
(Imagine a soaring, wailing solo that builds to a chaotic, high-gain climax before dropping back into a heavy rhythm section.)
Chorus
And the silence is a symphony of screaming
A broken melody where I'm still dreaming
You're the ghost in our echoes, haunting my sleep
A debt of sorrow that I cannot keep.
This wound won't close, it's open wide and bleeding
My heart's a drum, relentlessly repeating:
"Gone... Gone... Gone..."
The battle's lost, the war has just begun!
Outro
Just begun...
(Heavy, repeating, distorted guitar riff fades out slowly with a final, crashing cymbal.)
Gone...
