Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up on a floor I don't remember Teeth like glass Tongue tastes like shame Missed calls blooming red all over my screen Every promise I made Burned in my brain I said I'd change I said "I'm trying" Then took that cash Fed it to the fire Mom at the door Eyes already tired "I'm fine I'm fine" — same choir of liars [Chorus] I put rust in my veins Turned my heart into a grave Let you drown while I was sinking Still begged you to stay I'm the weight that pulls you under I'm the rot behind the smile So alone inside this cancer Trying to kill what I became [Verse 2] Every friend learned how to vanish One by one They slipped the chain Only shadow left beside me Is the monster with my face I curse the world Call it heartless While I’m stealing from your plate Feed the hole Still getting hollow How much more can I erase? [Chorus] I put rust in my veins Turned my heart into a grave Let you drown while I was sinking Still begged you to stay I'm the weight that pulls you under I'm the rot behind the smile So alone inside this cancer Trying to kill what I became [Bridge] [Breakdown hits Guitars chug in stabs] I am the blade Pressed to my own throat I am the cage Swallowing the key whole If I stay the same Bury me alone If I crawl away Can I ever come home? (come home) [Chorus] I put rust in my veins But I don’t want this grave If I drown instead of running Will you turn away? I was the weight that pulled you under I was the rot behind the smile Standing up inside this fire While I strangle every lie [Outro] One breath One step at a time If the demon wears my skin Then I'll learn how to fight my own eyes

metal, Modern metalcore with drop-tuned guitars, dissonant riffs, and double-kick bursts. Verses sit in a tense, palm-muted crawl, vocal swings between gritty melodic and harsh screams; chorus widens with soaring harmonies and a half-time stomp. Bridge dives into a syncopated breakdown with ambient lead guitar above, ending on a suspended, ringing chord that lets the last vocal line haunt. Male vocals.
