Lost Reflection

Do ya hear dat?…It’s GrizzlyJones…Say da name…Lost Reflection…[Intro](85 BPM. A clean, melancholic acoustic guitar pattern plucks a dark, minor-key chord progression. A faint, low synth pad creates a cold, empty ambient space.)Guitar: (Strumming low, resonant, and slow...)Can you see me standing in the rain?Trying to wash away the weight of all this pain.It’s funny how the silence gets so loud,When you’re lost inside a completely broken crowd.[Verse 1](85 BPM. The acoustic guitar continues. A slow, subtle bass guitar note rings out on the downbeat of every bar. Vocals are low, gravelly, and deeply exhausted.)Take another look at the damage on the wall.Waiting for the moment that I finally fall.I build the barriers to keep it all inside,Running from the shadows that I used to hide.It’s a long way down when you’re looking from the ledge,Walking every day on a razor-sharp edge.[Pre-Chorus](The acoustic guitar changes to heavy, muted strumming. Distorted electric guitar feedback begins to swell in the background. A slow snare hit enters on every fourth beat.)Guitar FX: (Screaming static feedback swells...)And I wonder if I’ll ever find the light,Or if I’m destined just to disappear tonight.Can anybody hear me screaming through the floor?'Cause I can’t face the monster behind the door anymore.Vocal Cry: (Yeah...) Brace for the crashGuitar: (Massive, overdriven, sustained chords crashing down.)IM LOST IN MY OWN HEAD AGAIN!TRYING TO FIND WHERE THE LIES BEGIN!PIECE BY PIECE, I CRUMBLE DOWN!WATCHING MY LEGACY REBOUND!CAN YOU SHOW ME A SIGN, CAN YOU HEAR ME CRY?BEFORE I LET THE LAST EMBERS DIEStaring at a mirror that I don’t recognize.Looking past the mask and the structural lies.The pressure’s squeezing tight around my chest,Giving everything but never finding rest.[Chorus](85 BPM Drop. Max emotional intensity. Full distorted rock instrumentation returns at maximum volume with high-register vocal harmonies.)Guitars: (Roaring, heavy drop-D power chords.)IM LOST IN MY OWN HEAD AGAIN!TRYING TO FIND WHERE THE LIES BEGIN!PIECE BY PIECE, I CRUMBLE DOWN!WATCHING MY LEGACY REBOUND!CAN YOU SHOW ME A SIGN, CAN YOU HEAR ME CRY?BEFORE I LET THE LAST EMBERS DIEGuitar: (Slow, fading acoustic plucks...)Just a shadow on the floor.I don’t want to fight this war.Fade to gray.Let it drift away.(Final deep, fading breath exhale: "Sigh".) Dead silence.
