[Verse 1] Your coffee cup still on the sink Lip print faint Like it might blink Drawers half-open Shirts on the chair Whole house holding its breath in the air I talk to doors you used to slam Argue with the mirror Call you by name Every hallway A failing lung Every step Like I weigh a ton [Chorus] There’s a black thread in my throat I keep choking on your ghost Every word I try to say Turns to ashes anyway I’m alive But breaking slow In the shape you left below If this is love after you go It’s just pain with nowhere to go [Verse 2] Your side of the bed’s still cold and flat I sleep on the edge Scared of all that Space you took Then gave back fast Like the future was made of glass Friends say “time ” like it’s a drug Like the clock hands hand out hugs But the seconds cut They carve your name Tiny knives doing big-scale damage [Chorus] There’s a black thread in my throat I keep choking on your ghost Every word I try to say Turns to ashes anyway I’m alive But breaking slow In the shape you left below If this is love after you go It’s just pain with nowhere to go [Bridge] [Ambient guitars swell Drums drop to tom-heavy pulse] I still hear you In the quiet In the crack Between my eyelids (hey) I still see you In the riot Of the nights I can’t keep silent [Harsh vocal] You tore out the sun Left a silhouette stain I scrape at my skin just to feel your name If healing is real Why’s it burning this bad? Why does “moving on” feel exactly like collapse? [Clean vocal reply] You’re a scar I trace in the dark Half a wound Half a work of art I hate that I love what we lost I’m counting the cost I’m counting the cost (oh) [Chorus] There’s a black thread in my throat I keep choking on your ghost Every word I try to say Turns to ashes anyway I’m alive But breaking slow In the shape you left below If this is love after you go It’s just pain with nowhere to go [Outro] So I fold your name into my bones Walk this world like a cracked gravestone If grief is just love with nowhere left to run Then I’ll bleed in the dark ‘til I grow a new sun

metal, Hybrid alt/prog metal meets dark R&B: drop-tuned djent grooves, wide ambient pads, and liquid Rhodes. Verses sit on clean, reverb-soaked guitars and subby bass with intimate male vocals (baritone–tenor); choruses explode into syncopated chugs, layered harmonies, and towering screams. Bridge swells with cinematic synths, polyrhythmic drums, and call-and-response harsh/clean lines, then collapses into a sparse, haunting outro., r&b, male vocals, clean, ambient, harsh, djent
