[Intro – soft melodic hum over clean guitar]
Yeah… it’s fading again…
[Verse 1 – Rap, mid-tempo, half-spoken]
I’m staring at the ceiling, cracks look just like veins
Every heartbeat’s heavy, pumping through the pain
You said forever, then you dipped without a trace
Now I’m talking to the silence in this empty space
Pills on the nightstand, don’t know if I’ll take ‘em
Momma calling, I let it ring, I can’t fake it
Ink on my arm still bleeding from your name
Tried to wash it off but the ghost remains
Rain on the window, blurring out the streetlights
I’m twenty-something going on dead inside
Friends say “move on,” like it’s that damn easy
They never felt their whole world leave ‘em bleeding
[Chorus – Melodic, sung with raw emotion, rock guitars swelling]
I’m breaking, can’t you see me shaking?
Every night I’m lost in the ache you left
Screaming at the dark but nobody’s listening
Heart full of holes, still beating for you somehow
I’m fading… fading…
Don’t know how much longer I can hold this down
Fading… fading…
But I still scream your name when the lights go out
[Verse 2 – Rap, faster and more intense]
I punch the mirror just to feel something real
Shards in my knuckles, blood don’t even heal
Remember summer nights, your head on my chest
Now those memories choke me like a noose round my neck
I write these bars at 4 AM, voice cracking
Hate how much I love you, hate how much I’m lacking
Told myself I’d never chase another ghost
But your shadow’s in my lungs, I breathe you the most
Crowded room, still feel alone in it
Fake a smile while my soul’s throwing fits
They want the happy version, I deleted that file
Left me with the wreckage and a broken smile
[Chorus – Louder, layered vocals, distorted guitars]
I’m breaking, can’t you see me shaking?
Every night I’m lost in the ache you left
Screaming at the dark but nobody’s listening
Heart full of holes, still beating for you somehow
I’m fading… fading…
Don’t know how much longer I can hold this down
Fading… fading…
But I still scream your name when the lights go out
[Bridge – Spoken/sung softly, almost whispered over sparse piano]
If you ever hear this…
I hope it hurts a little
Just so you remember what you did…
I’d still take you back… that’s the sickest part
[Final Chorus – Full band, emotional peak, slight scream on the last lines]
I’m breaking, watch me fucking breaking
Every piece of me is calling out your name
Screaming at the dark, maybe you’ll hear it someday
Heart full of holes but it beats the same
I’m fading… fading…
But I’ll burn this pain into every song I make
Fading… fading…
Still yours… even as I break…
[Outro – Slow, melodic, fading out]
Yeah… it’s fading…
But the echo stays…
