Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ink on my tongue Every word tastes rust I stitched my mouth shut Called it “earn their trust” Shadows in my chest Numbered Tagged In rows Locked in little cages Where the shame still grows [Pre-Chorus] But the floorboards creak Like they learned my name Every buried thing Scratching through the grain [Chorus] You’re ripping out my secrets Tearing pages from my throat Every line I hid is bleeding Down my collar Down my coat I choke on every promise As the truth begins to float You’re ripping out my secrets Ripping Ripping from my throat [Verse 2] I swallowed my screams Turned them into stone Built a crooked altar Called that silence “home” But the cracks run deep And the walls lean in Hear the verses leaking From the seams of my skin [Pre-Chorus] Every bitten lip Every bitten word Now it’s all on fire Every silence heard [Chorus] [Bridge] [guttural low vocal register] Drag my diary through the glass Let it drip Let it drip in your lap Every letter that I tried to choke back Claws its way up Claws its way up [rising scream] Tie my tongue in a funeral knot Still these confessions bloom and rot Rip me open Read me out loud I’m the secret screaming in the crowd [Chorus]

Pre-chorus opens the harmony with soaring, catchy topline before dropping into a punchy, anthemic chorus. Drums shift from stuttering polymeters to straight-ahead stomp in the hooks; occasional synth pads widen the choruses and a mid-song half-time breakdown underpins a raw, screamed bridge., light, electric, pop, progressive metal
