Echoes in the Name

[Intro] Whispers knit the room with shadows, soft but sharp as rain A name drifts through the static, calling out my hidden chain [Verse 1] I hear it in the hush between the breaths I take A voice that knows my secrets, and every mistake Echoes lace the corners of the mirror on the wall Who’s calling me, and why do I answer at all? [Pre-Chorus] The syllables shape a tether I can’t seem to break Each time it repeats, my thoughts begin to quake [Chorus] Say my name again, I’m listening in the dark The room replies in echoes, a shadow marked by sparks If you’re here to guide me, show me who I’ve become Before this voice consumes me, before I’m gone [Verse 2] Paranoia paints the hallway with a colder light A familiar scream of wind that turns my will to night I chase a silhouette that never turns to face Just a whisper in the fog, a mirror’s hollow trace [Pre-Chorus] The syllables bite deeper as the clock forgets to slow I’m spiraling inward where no daylight dare to go [Chorus] Say my name again, I’m listening in the dark The room replies in echoes, a shadow marked by sparks If you’re here to guide me, show me who I’ve become Before this voice consumes me, before I’m gone [Bridge] Is it you, or is it me, twisting the truth inside A lullaby of guilt and memory I cannot hide [Chorus] Say my name again, I’m listening in the dark The room replies in echoes, a shadow marked by sparks If you’re here to guide me, show me who I’ve become Before this voice consumes me, before I’m gone [Outro] The call fades like a tide, but the shore remembers still I fade back into silence, against my own will
