After The Screams

🎵 Title: “After the Screams” 🎵 (Intro) Silence now, where the echoes died, Blood moon gone, and the fear subsides. But the walls still whisper what they saw, And I’m still breathing through the claw. ⸻ (Verse 1) The chains are broken, but the bruises stay, I walked through hell just to see this day. Shadows stretch where the fire burned, Ashes fall from the lessons learned. Heartbeat like a drum in a haunted hall, I stood alone when the lights did fall. Now the dawn cuts through like a blade, But not every ghost knows when to fade. ⸻ (Hook) 🎵 This is the end of the horror, But the nightmare don’t forget. I’m out the house, out the terror, But the past still soaks in sweat. It’s over now — or so it seems, But I still wake up to the screams. 🎵 ⸻ (Verse 2) Mirror cracked, but I see me clear, Older now, and full of fear. Not of monsters under beds, But the ones that live inside our heads. I buried the mask, I burned the name, But silence never sounds the same. The floor still creaks when I walk at night, Some horrors end… but they don’t die right. ⸻ (Hook) 🎵 This is the end of the horror, But the nightmare don’t forget. I’m out the house, out the terror, But the past still soaks in sweat. It’s over now — or so it seems, But I still wake up to the screams. 🎵 ⸻ (Bridge) You can lock the doors, you can burn the page, But the soul still rattles in the cage. I lit a match just to feel the flame, And whisper to the dark — I’m not the same. ⸻ (Outro) Now the credits roll, but I’m still here, Telling myself there’s nothing to fear. But in the silence, when I close my eyes, I still hear the final, distant cries.
