Ashes of the Echo

**[Verse 1]** I burned the stars to light your name, But all they did was fade away. The sky collapsed beneath my hands, And still, I called your ghost to stay. **[Pre-Chorus]** Every word, a scar I trace, Every memory, a hollow place— You said love was meant to save, But it only dug my grave. **[Chorus]** So let the thunder d***n me out, Let the rain erase the sound. Of all the promises we broke, I c***e—on ashes of the echo. You were fire, I was stone, Now I’m cursed to burn alone. There’s no light where you let go— Only ashes of the echo. **[Verse 2]** I built my heart on shattered glass, Bleeding just to make it last. You turned away, the silence screamed, And left me stranded in a dream. **[Pre-Chorus]** Every shadow wears your face, Every sunrise feels like waste. You said pain would make me grow, But I’m still trapped below. **[Chorus]** So let the thunder d***n me out, Let the rain erase the sound. Of all the promises we broke, I c***e—on ashes of the echo. You were fire, I was stone, Now I’m cursed to burn alone. There’s no light where you let go— Only ashes of the echo. **[Bridge]** *(soft, then building up)* Can you hear me in the storm? Would you bleed to feel me warm? I gave you heaven, you gave me fall— Now I’m nothing, nothing at all. **[Final Chorus]** Let the thunder d***n me out, Let the rain erase the sound. Of all the dreams we turned to smoke, I c***e—on ashes of the echo. You were fire, I was stone, Now the dark has made its home. There’s no light where you let go— Only ashes… only echoes.
