【verse 1】
the room still holds your favorite book
the folded page, the way you’d look
a chair that never moves again
still shaped around what might have been
your voice is gone, but not its trace
it lingers soft in empty space
like songs that drift and then erase
but leave a silence we still face
【chorus】
these are the echoes of the absent
quiet ghosts that never fade
in every breath, in every corner
in every word we never say
they stay beneath the surface
where memory and shadow blend
these are the echoes of the absent
the ones we carry to the end
【verse 2】
the clock keeps time, but not the past
and yet your absence seems to last
longer than the lives we lead
a hollow calm, a quiet need
i speak to you in thoughts alone
in midnight sighs when i’m unknown
you don’t reply — you never do
but i still leave a space for you
【chorus】
these are the echoes of the absent
quiet ghosts that never fade
in every breath, in every corner
in every word we never say
they stay beneath the surface
where memory and shadow blend
these are the echoes of the absent
the ones we carry to the end
【outro】
we carry you...
we carry you...
in silence and in sound
