Denial

Verse 1 (gentle, restrained)

I trace the lilies on your windowsill,

A whispered prayer, “please never fade.”

I choke on time as it slips through my hands,

I’ll pretend I can make it stay.

Pre-Chorus (tension rising)

Every petal’s porcelain,

But I can feel the cracks begin.

If I close my eyes, if I clench my fists,

None of this is happening. This can’t be fucking happening.

Chorus (explodes, screaming edge)

Calla lilies never die in my head,

White walls bleed with the words I never said.

God don’t you dare take her, don’t you dare let go—

I refuse to believe, Don’t fucking leave me on my own.

Verse 2 (softer, trembling)

Your voice drifts down the hallway,

But it’s only echoes fading into the floor.

I claw the silence, I tear at the seams,

I can’t lose her, I won’t, clinging to memories isn’t what I want.

Pre-Chorus (building, strained)

Every prayer I scream drifts to the void,

Comes back hollow, leaves me numb and alone.

If I break, grasp tight on this denial,

Maybe I can turn the tide.

Chorus (heavier, screaming/raw)

Calla lilies never die in my head,

White walls bleed with the words I never said.

Don’t you dare take her, don’t you dare let go—

I refuse to believe, Don’t fucking leave me on my own.

Bridge (chaotic, unrestrained)

Smash the vase, cut my hands,

I can’t hold what I don’t understand.

Shatter glass, spill the truth,

If I bleed enough, can I keep you?

Final Chorus (last eruption, then cut off)

Calla lilies never die in my head,

White walls bleed with the words I never said.

Don’t you dare take her, don’t you dare let go—

I’m not ready…

I’m not—

(song ends abruptly, unresolved, like denial itself)
