Echoes and Edges

[Intro] [Piano Melody, Soft piano notes paint a scene of tension, anticipation fills the air.] [Verse 1] On a stage of old resentments, where words like daggers pierce the calm, Michael stands, his heart is heavy, in the spotlight's revealing balm. He recounts the days of silence, the years of yearning for a sign, For a mother's warm embrace, or just a truce in their design. [Pre-Chorus] But Deborah, in her fortress, behind walls of stern defense, Clings to her own story, where her actions make perfect sense. A mother's fear, a panic rooted, in the depths of love so wild, She sees not the grown man before her, but forever her child. [Chorus] Can you hear the echoes of the love that once was pure? Now it's frayed and worn, with edges sharp and sure. A dialogue of pain, with both their hearts on trial, A dance around the truth, with every word a mile. [Bridge] (Instrumental Piano Interlude) The piano's tune grows bolder, mirroring the heated exchange, As Michael's voice breaks through the silence, seeking to rearrange. [Verse 2] "Enough of manipulation, it's time for the masks to fall, No more veiled words of 'sorry,' it's time to address it all." [Verse 2 Continued] "Enough of manipulation, it's time for the masks to fall, No more veiled words of 'sorry,' it's time to address it all." Deborah, take a moment, step out from the past's dark shade, Acknowledge the wounds inflicted, let the healing be displayed. [Chorus] Can you hear the echoes of the love that once was pure? Now it's frayed and worn, with edges sharp and sure. A dialogue of pain, with both their hearts on trial, A dance around the truth, with every word a mile. [Piano Diminuendo] As the notes fade into whispers, there’s a chance for new starts, For the echoes and edges to soften in their hearts. [Continued] For the echoes and edges to soften in their hearts. [Refrain] Will the stage be cleared of heartache, can forgiveness play its part? Echoes and edges, may they mend, in the gallery of the heart. [Outro] [Piano Fade to End] (quiet) The final note hangs in the balance, a silent plea for peace and end.
