Fracture

[Verse 1]
I walk a tightrope, frayed at the ends  
Shallow breath, with weight pressing in  
The nights stretch long, no dawn in sight  
But hey! I'm still standing...
Call it pride—or call it spite! 

[Pre-Chorus]
Every crack runs deeper, every whisper turns to screams  
Holding on so tightly, I might tear at the seams  

[Chorus – Rock Intensifies]
I could snap, I could break  
Teetering close to my own fate  
Holding strong, still afraid  
But even steel bends in the quake  

[Verse 2]
They see defiance, they don’t see doubt  
The tremors under skin, the fire burning out  
And yet I wear this armor, sculpted from pain  
A monument to battles lost again and again  

[Verse 3]
I fake the laughter, rehearse the lines
Make peace with silence, dodge the signs
But truth has claws and it always finds
The fragile places I try to hide

[Pre-Chorus – Builds Tension]
Every mask feels heavier, every smile a masquerade
Still I walk through shadows, still I dance around the blade

[Chorus]
I could snap, I could break
Teetering close to my own fate
Holding strong, still afraid
But even steel bends in the quake

[Bridge – Climactic Shift]
What happens when the wall gives way?  
When the dam can't hold the waves?  
Do I shatter, do I fade?  
Or rise again from the remains?  

[Outro - guitar, emotional, seeking, questioning] 
All that's left is breath and flame
Breath and flame... Or so they say
Wish I could stop running on fumes
And find a peaceful place to sleep

Fractured Fortnight

[Intro]
Time moves, but never fast enough,
Silence hums where voices should be.
Two weeks held me by the spine,
Pulled me forward, let me bleed.

[Verse 1]
The lights never dimmed, the calls never ceased,  
Each hour slipped through my trembling hands.  
No rest, no sky, just the fractured repeat—  
Another night, another demand.  

[Chorus]
Distant peaks, a waiting wind,  
A place untouched by all I’ve seen.  
Let me vanish, let me break,  
Leave me where time forgets my name.  

[Verse 2]
Whispers of care, yet hands stay cold,  
Their comfort drifts but never lands.  
I gave and gave, I stood alone,  
And found myself in hollow plans.  

[Chorus]
Distant peaks, a waiting wind,  
A place untouched by all I’ve seen.  
Let me vanish, let me break,  
Leave me where time forgets my name.  

[Bridge] 
I held the weight, I bore the tide,  
Still, no one asked how deep it burned inside.  
Let me scream, let me shatter—  
I am more than silence, more than static matter.  

[Verse 3]
If I sleep, will I wake the same?  
If I stop, will the echoes fade?  
Two weeks swallowed me whole,  
Now I stand, but I am changed.  

[Outro]
Time moves, but never fast enough,
Silence hums where voices should be.
Two weeks held me by the spine,
Pulled me forward, left me free.

Echochamber (The Call)

[Intro - Sparse acoustic guitar fingerpicking]

[Verse 1]
Oh no... Uhhhh, oh no...!
Oh, oh no... Ohhh no! 
Answer it, please... You sure? 
Ohhh... oh, no!

[Pre-chorus]
I would have... Would have...
If I could have... Could have...
But no, no, no...!
No, no, no! 

[Chorus]
There's no true promise,
No, no, not even one!
No real way out, now,
And nowhere to run!

[Bridge - slow and powerful]
Riiinnnggg! It's a call...
It's ringing, it's your call! 
Ohhh no, no, please...
No, no, not again! 

[Pre-chorus]
I would have... Would have...
If I could have... Could have...
But no, no, no...!
No, no, no! I won't!

[Chorus]
There's no true promise,
No, no, not even one!
No real way out, now,
And nowhere to run!

[Final bridge]
Need to find a way 
Need to find a place
But no, there's none! 
Nobody to ask!

[Outro - emotional, echoing, lingering]
Ohhh no... I'm losing!
Ohhh no... I've lost!
Ohhh no... Am I still here? 
Why? Ohhh why? Ohhh no!
