Echoes in the Quiet

[Intro] In the quiet, I hear the echo of my name A fractured room, where the shadows all speak the same [Verse 1] I sit here alone, the walls know my name Pushed everyone away, there’s a storm in my brain Answers disappear, no one's asking me why Am I happier with the ghost of us saying goodbye? [Pre-Chorus] Is this love or just a hollow road I’ve learned to drive? If hurt was a compass, I’d be lost in the night sky [Chorus] What remains when the colors fade to gray? Love or life, it’s the price I pay If the beacon dies, do I stay or go away? Feeling hollow, but I’m still breathing today [Verse 2] A mother’s loss, two years carved in time A child’s light dimmed, I’m swallowed by the night I’m not what I should be, I’m not where I belong But I’m here, listening to the ache in my own song [Pre-Chorus] If love was an ocean I’d drown in the ache it made Seeking a kiss of truth in every lie I've played [Chorus] What remains when the colors fade to gray? Love or life, it’s the price I pay If the beacon dies, do I stay or go away? Feeling hollow, but I’m still breathing today [Bridge] Maybe I’m not the villain, maybe I’m the broken thing Trying to rise and speak like thunder, learning how to believe in love after I bleed again [Chorus] What remains when the colors fade to gray? Love or life, it’s the price I pay If the beacon dies, do I stay or go away? Feeling hollow, but I’m still breathing today [Outro] Alone with the truth, I’ll face what’s left to fend Hope whispers softly, I’ll find a way to mend
