Dust & Echoes

[Intro] [lonely distorted acoustic guitar riff] [heavy rhythmic stomp] [soft raspy exhale] [Verse 1] Old forgotten shack, where the wild weeds grow Every floorboard’s creakin’ with the things I know Found a rusty locket tucked beneath the dust A faded picture covered up in years of rust [Pre-Chorus] [steady beat kicks in] The air is gettin' heavy with the ghosts I used to chase I can feel the memory of your shadow on my face And it’s buildin’ up... yeah, it’s breakin’ through... [Chorus] Oh, these Dust & Echoes, callin' out my name! Every broken promise, burnin' like a flame. In this hollow silence, I can hear your plea, These Dust & Echoes, bringin' you back to me! [Verse 2] [drums and raw guitar only] I tried to burn the bridge, tried to walk away But the smoke just follows me every single day You’re the crooked whisper in the tall pine trace There’s no runnin’ far enough to leave this place. [Pre-Chorus] The air is gettin' heavy with the ghosts I used to chase I can feel the memory of your shadow on my face It’s buildin’ up... it’s breakin’ through! [Chorus] Oh, these Dust & Echoes, callin' out my name! Every broken promise, burnin' like a flame. In this hollow silence, I can hear your plea, These Dust & Echoes, bringin' you back to me! [Bridge] [intense gritty slide guitar solo] I tried to leave it all! I tried to move ahead! But every crooked whisper... Pulls me back instead! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh, these Dust & Echoes, callin' out my name! Every broken promise, burnin' like a flame. In this hollow silence, I can hear your plea, These Dust & Echoes, bringin' you back to me! [Outro] [fading to acoustic guitar] Dust and echoes... Just dust and echoes... [sound of a door creaking shut] [End]
