[Verse 1]
Smoke in my lungs, dust in my hair
I can’t move but I’m still there
The ceiling’s gone, the light is thin
A hollow world, a fading din
I try to breathe, but the air won't come
A broken lullaby, a distant drum
I whisper names into the stone
But I’m buried, cold, and all alone
---
[Chorus 1]
Tears in the rubble, falling slow
Echoes of love from long ago
I don’t know if you’re alive or gone
But I hold on, I hold on
---
[Instrumental Break / Drop 1]
[Epic melodic instrumental break here – reflective, rising tones, emotional swell]
---
[Verse 2]
Time drips like rain on shattered glass
Memories of the life we had
Your voice, your touch, the kids’ sweet cries
Now flicker like ghosts behind my eyes
I want to scream, but the weight’s too deep
This broken home’s become my keep
Still, a heartbeat pounds within my chest
For one last hope, for one last breath
---
[Chorus 2]
Tears in the rubble, hear me cry
Love doesn't fade, it doesn't die
If you can hear me, answer now
I'm still here… somehow
---
[Instrumental Break / Drop 2]
[Intensify emotion – mix of tension and melodic power]
---
[Bridge]
[Spoken or lightly sung, intimate delivery]
I see your face in flashes of light
The wedding, the birth, the peaceful nights
If this is where I end, let them know—
I loved them more than I could show
[beat pauses – silence, then swell]
But wait… is that…? A sound… a voice?
A trembling step, a human noise…
---
[Final Chorus]
Tears in the rubble, but now I see
Your hands breaking through for me
You shout my name, I feel the sun
My God… my love… we’re not undone
---
[Outro – Soft Breakdown]
I’m not alone beneath the stone
We’re going home… we’re going home
