“Echoes of Us”
[Verse]
Each step I take feels heavier with time,
A clock without rhythm, a poem without rhyme.
The stars once whispered of paths we could take,
Now silence surrounds me, the dreams all break.
But even in this void, I still see your face,
A fleeting mirage in this desolate space.
[Verse]
I remember walking every street, every place we once knew,
Searching for a trace, a whisper, a shadow of you.
I knew you were searching too, in a city far away,
But fate was a wall that turned night into day.
Had you not refused me, that moment we could seize,
We’d have written our story, bending destiny with ease.
[Chorus]
Life was once a flame, burning dreams into the sky,
Now it’s just a fleeting breeze, hoping to pass by.
If I falter, hold me close, for I’ve no faith to spare,
This world has masked its kindness in a cloak of despair.
[Verse]
Dreams are many, but the road is small,
We’re humans hiding pain, answering no call.
Who to share the ache that lies within?
The ones we hold close don’t see where we’ve been.
What worth is this life when the soul feels torn?
Even fallen leaves have value, yet I’m forlorn.
[Bridge]
The seasons changed, but not the tide,
The world stayed the same as hope slowly died.
When the trees withered, the birds moved on,
And in their flight, the light was gone.
This breaking of me, this scattered soul,
Is no accident, it’s the price of the toll.
Someone worked hard to bring me here,
To silence my laughter, to feed my fear.
[Chorus]
Life was once a flame, burning dreams into the sky,
Now it’s just a fleeting breeze, hoping to pass by.
If I falter, hold me close, for I’ve no faith to spare,
This world has masked its kindness in a cloak of despair.
[Verse]
If life’s to be lived, then walk through the storm,
Find grace in chaos, make the pain transform.
Happiness and sorrow, two shades of the same,
Learn to dance in the fire, not hide from the flame.
There’s talk of losing yourself on these roads,
Of loneliness carving the heaviest loads.
But somewhere a river still runs to the sea,
In your city, life must have a place to be.
Outro:
This fleeting life, this unspoken song,
A journey of hearts that’s both right and wrong.
We didn’t meet, but we’re echoes of each other,
Two wandering souls, searching forever.
There’s a silence in my heart that screams your name,
A mirror of dreams shattered, yet
[Verse]
Perhaps in another life, under kinder skies,
We’ll weave our story where no shadow lies.
Where broken hearts heal and time rewinds,
And love isn’t lost in the space it confines.
But here and now, I’ll carry the pain,
A bittersweet melody in this endless refrain.
