Lyrics
[Intro]
Cold frame
Rust chain
Key on a nail in the hallway
Dust shakes
Hand shakes
Every time I hear you call me
[Verse 1]
I boarded up my younger rooms
Painted over every bruise
Still the outline of your name
Bleeds right through
Bleeds right through
I keep tripping on my habits
Every promise turns to static
I’m the echo in this attic
Screaming you
Screaming you
[Chorus]
I’m still locking all the old doors I built
Hiding every bit of blame and guilt
Every “stay” I never said out loud
You’re a ghost that I can’t push out
If I tear myself apart will it
Ever make up for the times I quit?
All these feelings rotting on the shelf
I keep breaking you to punish myself
[Verse 2]
You were sitting in the doorway
Bare feet on the tile
I was busy being angry
At the mirror
At my pride
I threw words like furniture
Splinters in your spine
Now I sleep inside the splinters
Just to taste that night
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I slam the door
Then I blame the sound
I burn the bridge
Then I curse the ground
I wear this hurt like a borrowed crown
I let you drown
Just to watch me drown
[crescendo]
[harsh vocals]
I built these walls to feel secure
Then stuffed our bodies in the floor
Every memory
Every war
Still clawing at the boards
[Breakdown]
You were my way out
(I dragged you back in)
You were my safe house
(I set fire again)
If I’m the cage
You were the key
Now all that’s left
Is what’s left of me
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[whispered vocals]
Cold frame
Rust chain
Key on a nail in the hallway
I still press my thumb
Where your name
Used to stain the paint

Style
Early-2000s post-hardcore: twin high-gain guitars with octave leads and chugs, pick slides into half-time breakdowns, tight bass locking with punchy, clicky kick and cracking snare. Screamed/sung male vocals trading off: raw fry screams in verses, soaring melodic chorus with gang shouts on key lines. Brief clean guitar intro, feedback swells, and one final crushing outro breakdown that drops to clean vocal over ringing chords at the end., hardcore
