Empty House, Full Ashtray

[Verse 1]
Woke up on the floor again
Same shirt from two nights ago
Phone lighting up the ceiling
But it’s only apps
Never people I know
Half a glass of flat red wine
Ashes in a coffee cup
Can’t remember why I’m crying
Just remember giving up
[Chorus]
Everybody leaves
I stay
In this empty house
Full ashtray
Swallow down the dark like candy
Hoping it’ll numb me slowly
I cancel every call I get
Scroll until my eyes turn red
If I disappear
Would anybody know?
I’m so loud inside
But I’m alone
[Verse 2]
Didn’t eat
But I took something
Tiny letters on my tongue
Hoping it can hold me
’Cause I don’t trust anyone
Curtains closed at 3 p.m
Sun keeps begging to come in
Tell myself I’ll try tomorrow
Then tomorrow just begins
[Chorus]
Everybody leaves
I stay
In this empty house
Full ashtray
Swallow down the dark like candy
Hoping it’ll numb me slowly
I cancel every call I get
Scroll until my eyes turn red
If I disappear
Would anybody know?
I’m so loud inside
But I’m alone
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna die
I just
Don’t wanna feel this much
Is there someone out there
Who won’t treat my heart like dust? (hey)
Talking to the ceiling fan
Spinning like my thoughts again
If I say I’m fine enough
Will it finally make me tough?
[Chorus]
Everybody leaves
I stay
In this empty house
Full ashtray
Swallow down the dark like candy
Hoping it’ll numb me slowly
I cancel every call I get
Scroll until my eyes turn red
If I disappear
Would anybody know?
I’m so loud inside
But I’m alone
I’m so loud inside
And still alone

Start with sparse electric piano and soft pads, then let a warm, steady drum groove and deep bass bloom in the first chorus. Second verse adds airy guitars and subtle vocal chops.
