Intro – low synth drone + distant guitar feedback, slow tribal percussion entering]

Verse 1
Beneath the silence, the shadows remain,
a crown made of whispers, a kingdom of pain.
I searched for a signal, a hand in the night,
but echoes just told me — there is no light.

[Deep restrained vocal, minimal arrangement]

Pre-Chorus
Still I rise, though the weight pulls me down,
still I wear this silent crown.

[Organ pad and heavy reverb on snare build intensity]

Chorus
Silent crown on my head,
built from the words I never said.
Broken vows, unspoken prayers,
still I’m standing, no one cares.

[Layered chorus, wide reverb, haunting backing vocals]

Verse 2
Every confession was carved in my skin,
every deception was dressed up as sin.
The forest is empty, the river runs dry,
yet something within me refuses to die.

[Add distorted guitar swells, more percussive drive]

Pre-Chorus
Still I rise, though the weight pulls me down,
still I wear this silent crown.

Chorus
Silent crown on my head,
built from the tears I never shed… (repeat, bigger)

[Bridge – minimal, whispered vocals over tribal drums + Hammond]
If I fall, let me fall with grace,
if I fade, let me leave a trace.
If I burn, let the fire be true,
ashes return — but not to you.

Final Chorus (anthemic, layered, climactic)
Silent crown on my head,
built from the words I never said.
Shadows fade, but I remain —
walking through the endless rain.

[Outro – fade with synth drone + whispered echoes: „crown… silent… rain…“]
