Ambient Dream Pop.

[Intro - Atmospheric and sparse, 16 bars].
Hiding the truth from every light,
The silence knows what I can’t say.
It follows me, it won’t fade away.

[Pre-Chorus - Arpeggiated keys, subtle percussion, guitar accents]
I held the flame too close, it burned 
Every secret waits its turn

[Verse 2 - More intensity, guitar lines weaving around vocals]
Each step I take reveals the past 
The voice I silenced speaks at last 
The time has come to break the chain 
No more shadows, no more shame

[Pre-Chorus 2 - More urgency, guitar harmonics answering vocal lines]
But fear still lingers in the light 
Will I be heard if I don’t fight?

[Chorus 2 - Fuller arrangement, layered synths, E-guitar taking more presence]
If I could LIVE TO TELL, would you believe me? 
If I could show the pain I hide 
The words I never said are still inside me 
Calling from the other side 
(Still inside… still inside…)

[Bridge - Stripped back, piano + vocals only, guitar re-enters gently with long sustained notes]
And if I fall before I speak 
Will silence be the voice I keep?

[Instrumental Break - Long lyrical E-GUITAR SOLO, emotional build, layered with synth pads]

[Final Chorus - Vocals return, guitar and synth fully blended, emotional swell]
If I could LIVE TO TELL, would you believe me? 
If I could show the pain I hide 
The words I never said are still inside me 
Waiting for a place to rise 
(Waiting… to rise)
