Lyrics
[Prompt: Haunting 90s grunge. Slow-to-mid tempo, dirty melodic guitars, raw weary male vocals, thick bass, restrained verses building into huge emotional choruses. Nostalgic, cryptic lyrics about friendships fading through time, distance, life, and death—but the memories refusing to disappear. Guitar harmonies, feedback, emotional solo.]
[Intro — clean detuned guitar, distant feedback]
There are names inside the drywall
There are faces in the grain
Old voices down the hallway
Still laughing through the rain
[Verse 1]
We were kings of broken sidewalks
With nowhere else to go
Burning summers into midnight
Thinking we’d never grow
We made promises like children
Like time would let us stay
But years are hungry animals
And slowly ate away
[Pre-Chorus — drums build]
Some disappeared without goodbye
Some just faded with the miles
[Chorus — heavy guitars explode]
But I remember everything
The nights, the scars, the sound
A thousand stupid reasons
We thought we’d stick around
Now everybody’s somewhere
And somewhere isn’t here
But when I close my eyes sometimes
You’re all still standing near
[Verse 2 — quieter, haunting harmony]
Some traded dreams for paychecks
Some found another crowd
Some became old photographs
We never talk about
No villains, no great ending
No final slammed front door
Just fewer chairs around the table
Than there used to be before
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how forever dies
Without making any noise
[Chorus — heavier]
Still I remember everything
The headlights and the rain
The songs we screamed together
Before we learned their pain
We’re scattered like old cigarette ash
Across another year
But somewhere underneath it all
We’re seventeen and here
[Guitar Solo — long bends, twin-guitar harmony, gradually becoming chaotic]
[Bridge — half-time, raw vocal]
And some went somewhere farther
Where the phone can never ring
I still catch myself forgetting
Then remembering everything
[Breakdown — crushing, slow]
Maybe nothing lasts forever
Maybe that’s what makes it burn
We spend our lives collecting ghosts
From roads we can’t return
[Final Chorus — huge vocal, backing harmonies]
So I remember everything
Even what I’ve lost
Every laugh inside a parking lot
Every bridge we crossed
Friends become old stories
And stories disappear
But somewhere in these tired bones
You’re all still fucking here
[Outro — clean guitar, distant vocal]
Different roads…
Different names…
Different lives…
Same old days…
[Whispered backing vocal]
We were here.
[Feedback slowly fades.]
