Save Me From This Dark

[Verse 1]
You slammed the door
Left your shadow on my skin
All these broken-picture questions
Cutting deeper than the sin
I screamed your name
Down a hallway made of stone
Every echo coming back
Was just proof I'm here alone
[Chorus]
The pain is too much
Save me from this dark
You walked away
Left teeth in my heart
I claw at the sky
But it's all falling apart
The pain is too much
Save me from this dark
[Verse 2]
Cold glass on the floor
Where your eyes used to glow
Every step a little fracture
Every breath a heavy blow
You burned the bridge
Then you smiled at the smoke
Now I'm choking on the ashes
Of every word we spoke
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Is this what you wanted?
Me
On my knees in the storm
You
Just a ghost in the doorway
Watching my body deform
If I tear out this weakness
Will I finally feel the spark?
Or am I destined to wander
In this kingdom of the dark
[Chorus]

rock, Alternative metal with dropped-tuned, heavily distorted guitars and aggressive drums. Start with a tense, palm-muted riff under low male vocals, then explode into a wide, shouted chorus with layered harmonies. Verses stay tight and rhythmic, chorus opens with ringing chords and ride cymbal, bridge leans into dissonant chords and a half-time stomp before a final, brutal chorus. Vocal delivery raw, desperate, almost on the edge of breaking., tone, strong, male vocals, world, metal, alternative rock
