Drowned out

(Verse 1 – quiet, washed in reverb)
The sea is loud, the sky is gray,
And I don’t know what else to say.
I tried to hold the shadows back,
But now the tide’s begun to crack.
The current pulls, the light grows thin,
And I don't know if I’ll be seen again.
But if this echo finds your shore,
Know I gave everything… and more.
(Chorus – swelling like a wave, then fading)
Can anyone hear me through the tide?
This signal fades, this hope won’t hide.
I’m sorry if I let him through—
I swear I gave all I could do.
The ocean roars, the silence mocks,
I scream, but it just hits the rocks.
So if you hear me, even now—
Remember me. That’s all I ask somehow.
(Verse 2 – soft, with a rising undertow)
I fought with Wave, I stood so tall,
But even legends sometimes fall.
He’s gone now, deeper than the blue,
And I don’t know what else to do.
I’m sending this into the foam,
A drifting cry, so far from home.
Maybe it won’t reach your land,
But I tried. Please understand.
(Chorus – echoing, emotional)
Can anyone hear me through the tide?
This signal fades, this hope won’t hide.
I’m sorry if I let him through—
I swear I gave all I could do.
The ocean roars, the silence mocks,
I scream, but it just hits the rocks.
So if you hear me, even now—
Remember me. That’s all I ask somehow.
(Bridge – whisper-like, submerged)
I don’t need songs, I don’t need gold,
Just to be known when stories are told.
Let the water take my name,
But don’t forget I played the game.
(Final Chorus – stripped down, one voice)
Can anyone hear me through the tide?
I tried, I swear, I never lied.
Let the sea have what it must keep—
But carry my name across the deep.
Alvarez, who would not flee—
Lost beneath… the endless sea.
