Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to stand so tall, unshaken by the tide,
Built my walls of stone, never let the pain inside.
But now the echoes murmur in an empty room,
Your name’s a ghost, and I can’t escape its tune.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I swore I'd never break, never fall apart,
But love is cruel when it leaves an open scar.
Chorus
I'm falling like sand through my own hands,
Drifting away with no place to land.
The wind takes my strength, I'm crumbling down,
Can’t hold myself when you're not around.
Verse 2
I see you in the mirror, just a shadowed trace,
Feel you in the silence, in the empty space.
Tried to keep my grip, but the ground gives way,
No light to guide me, only shades of grey.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I swore I'd never break, never fall apart,
But love is cruel when it leaves an open scar.
[Chorus]|
I'm falling like sand through my own hands,
Drifting away with no place to land.
The wind takes my strength, I'm crumbling down,
Can’t hold myself when you're not around.
Bridge – instrumental with Duduk solo & distant echoes of "falling..." whispered
SFX: Soft waves crashing, faint heartbeat slowing
Bridge – Emotional Climax
Tell me, can you hear me from beyond the sea?
Would you pull me back or let me be?
I was fire, now I’m only dust,
Trying to hold on, but I know I must…
Final Chorus – Stronger, Higher, Emotional Peak
I’m falling like sand through my own hands,
Drifting away with no place to land.
The wind takes my strength, I’m crumbling down,
Can’t hold myself when you're not around.
Outro – Climactic, drawn-out vocal finale, reminiscent of Whitney Houston
I'm faaaalliiiiing liiiiike saaaaaaand... ooooh...
Through my haaaaaaaands... drifting awaaaay...
Nooooo plaaaaaace... to laaaaand...
A soaring high note, suspended in air, fading into ethereal echoes
Duduk whispers one final, haunting note as waves fade into silence
