Over My Shoulder

[Verse 1]
You smiled soft
I missed the knife
Buried in the way
You said my name
Footsteps in the hall
Shadows under doors
Every creak at night
Feels like a war
[Chorus]
Always looking over my shoulder
Breath caught
Heart growing colder
Every corner feels like a cage
You lit the fuse
Now I live in your rage
Nowhere
Nowhere feels safe
You turned my world into your stage
Weight on my chest
Getting harder to breathe
You haunt every step
Won’t let me leave
[Verse 2]
You knew my friends
You traced my route
Poisoned all the places
I dreamed about
Camera in your eyes
Hands around my day
I lock every lock
You find new ways
[Chorus]
Always looking over my shoulder
Breath caught
Heart growing colder
Every corner feels like a cage
You lit the fuse
Now I live in your rage
Nowhere
Nowhere feels safe
You turned my world into your stage
Weight on my chest
Getting harder to breathe
You haunt every step
Won’t let me leave
[Bridge]
I am not your ghost to keep (no more)
I am not your secret to bleed (no more)
Cut the strings
Burn your shrine
You don’t get to own my mind
[Chorus]
Always looking over my shoulder
Breath caught
Heart growing bolder (breathe)
Every corner whispers your name
But I won’t be the fuel for your flame
Nowhere
Nowhere you’re safe
I’m tearing down the walls you made
Weight on my chest
I’m starting to scream
You don’t own my life
You don’t own my dreams (no more)

metal, Crushing gothic metal with female vocals, detuned guitars in a low, chugging groove and tom-heavy drums. Verses stay tense and claustrophobic with palm-muted riffs and whispered harmonies; chorus explodes into open chords, double-kick surges, and wide, eerie choirs. Bridge dips into half-time with dissonant leads and a tortured, sustained vocal before a final, feral chorus., gothic metal
