Shattered Echoes

Lyrics

Verse 1
I’m tracing outlines of the ghosts you left behind in the hall
While the shadows stretch their fingers till they’re climbing the wall
You said forever was a promise that you intended to keep
But now I’m drowning in the secrets that you buried so deep
The piano keys are cold beneath my fingertips tonight
Just a hollow resonance devoid of any light
I’m pulling at the threads of every memory we made
Watching as the colors start to flicker and to fade

Chorus
And I am falling through the cracks of a broken heart again
Screaming at the silence like a long-lost friend
With the thunder in the drums and the static in the wire
I am walking through the ashes of a dying fire
Yeah, you’re the ghost in my machine, the shiver in my bones
Leaving me to navigate these haunted streets alone

Verse 2
I traded all my innocence for heavy eyeliner and scars
Counting all the jagged pieces under indifferent stars
The guitar stings like winter rain against a window pane
A distorted melody that’s driving me insane
You were the anchor but you turned into the heavy chain
Dragging me beneath the surface of the pouring rain
I don’t need your sympathy and I don’t need your hand
I’m building up a kingdom out of sinking desert sand

Chours
And I am falling through the cracks of a broken heart again
Screaming at the silence like a long-lost friend
With the thunder in the drums and the static in the wire
I am walking through the ashes of a dying fire
Yeah, you’re the ghost in my machine, the shiver in my bones
Leaving me to navigate these haunted streets alone

Bridge
Can you hear me? Can you feel the pressure start to rise?
I’m tearing off the bandages and looking through the lies
No more hiding in the corners, no more playing dead
I’m exorcising every single word you ever said

Final Chorus
And I am falling through the cracks of a broken heart again
Screaming at the silence like a long-lost friend
With the thunder in the drums and the static in the wire
I am walking through the ashes of a dying fire
Yeah, you’re the ghost in my machine, the shiver in my bones
Leaving me to navigate these haunted streets alone
