Echoes of a Silence¹

[SLOW BASS] [Intro] [Verse 1] I see you in the hallway, Your eyes a distant light, I reach out just to touch you, But you’re always out of sight. You’re a dream I’m always chasing, A star that’s out of reach, A story without an ending, A lesson love will teach. [INTENSE RIFF] [Chorus] And I’m screaming in the silence, But you can’t hear my cries, Every heartbeat feels like violence, As I’m drowning in your eyes. Oh, the echoes of your laughter, Haunt the shadows of my mind, I’m lost in love’s disaster, In the moments left behind. [INTENSE RIFF OF GUITAR AND BASS] [Verse 2] Your smile’s a ray of sunlight, That never shines on me, I’m a prisoner of twilight, In a love that’s never free You’re a dream I’m always chasing, A star that’s out of reach, A story without an ending, A lesson love will teach. [Intense Guitar Riff] [Chorus] And I’m screaming in the silence, But you can’t hear my cries, Every heartbeat feels like violence, As I’m drowning in your eyes. Oh, the echoes of your laughter, Haunt the shadows of my mind, I’m lost in love’s disaster, In the moments left behind. [Verse 3] If only you could see me standing in the rain, My tears fall like the autumn leaves, A symphony of pain. But you’re a world away, In a place I can’t define, A fading star in the nighty sky, Forever out of my time... [Verse 4] I’m just a whisper in your story, A footnote in your tale, A memory that’s fading, In a love that’s doomed to fail. So I’ll keep on dreaming, In the silence of the night, Hoping one day you’ll remember, The one who loved you in the light. [Chorus] And I’m screaming in the silence, But you can’t hear my cries, Every heartbeat feels like violence, As I’m drowning in your eyes. Oh, the echoes of your laughter, Haunt the shadows of my mind, I’m lost in love’s disaster, In the moments left behind. [INTENSE RIFF] [Chorus] And I’m screaming in the silence, But you can’t hear my cries, Every heartbeat feels like violence, As I’m drowning in your eyes. Oh, the echoes of your laughter, Haunt the shadows of my mind, I’m lost in love’s disaster, In the moments left behind. [Outro] I’m just a whisper in your story, A footnote in your tale, A memory that’s fading, In a love that’s doomed to fail. So I’ll keep on dreaming, In the silence of the night, Hoping one day you’ll remember, The one who loved you in the light. [Fading Riff]
