Echoes of Tomorrow

[Verse 1]
Standin' in the shadow where my brothers used to play,
Anxiety's a whisper in the neon-lit maze.
Future's just a ghost that haunts these empty streets,
While depression grips me with its weighted feet.

[Pre-Chorus]
How many pieces of myself did I leave behind?
In every corner turned, another fragment I can't find.
The past's a prison cell, but memories are my chains,
Each echo of tomorrow drowns in yesterdays' rains.

[Chorus]
Anxiety comes 'cause we're thinkin' 'bout the future,
Depression clings to ghosts where the past is dangerously tethered.
It doesn't matter where I am today, all I got left are memories branded on my soul,
Bounded by this ghost train that won't let go.

[Verse 2]
How many brothers fell victim to these streets?
How many pieces of myself have I left along the way?
Each face in the crowd's a story left untold,
Their laughter's just an echo in the cold.

[Pre-Chorus]
How many were taken from me? Life only moves forward,
I can't return and take them back, no matter how much I ponder.
Though memories fade like ink on ancient scrolls,
I've branded 'em on my soul, these tales of old.

[Chorus]
Anxiety comes 'cause we're thinkin' 'bout the future,
Depression clings to ghosts where the past is dangerously tethered.
It doesn't matter where I am today, all I got left are memories branded on my soul,
Bounded by this ghost train that won't let go.

[Bridge]
So here I stand at twilight's edge,
Where time itself seems to pledge:
To carry every sorrow deep,
In silent vows, the heart will keep.

[Outro]
Anxiety and depression dance in this mind of mine,
Future's a shadow, past's a shrine.
But tonight, beneath these stars so bright,
I'll let the memories guide my flight.
