Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coat on the chair Smile in the glass Jokes on my tongue Truth in a flask Hands in my pockets Nails in my palm Laughing too loudly Begging for calm [Chorus] You see this easy grin You think you know my song But every word I spin Is just to string you along I keep the darkest parts Tucked where your eyes won’t reach You hear the mask I keep on You never hear me [Verse 2] Keys find a pattern Same three lies Candle’s gone crooked Wax in my eyes Your hand on my shoulder Says “I get you” I nod at the ceiling Praying that’s true [Chorus] You see this easy grin You think you know my song But every word I spin Is just to string you along I keep the darkest parts Tucked where your eyes won’t reach You hear the mask I keep on You never hear me [Bridge] What if I cracked Right here Right now (oh) Let the stitches slip Let it all spill out Would you still stay When the story bends When the stranger in my skin Steps out again [Chorus] You see this easy grin You think you know my song But every word I spin Is just to string you along I keep the darkest parts Tucked where your eyes won’t reach You hear the mask I keep on You never hear me You hear the mask I keep on You never hear me

Live eerie chamber-blues ballad with male vocals. Start with sparse, close-mic piano and soft, moaning violin; cello enters on long, uneasy notes. Slow, almost drag-time groove that subtly tightens and speeds up each section, building a creeping pulse. By the final chorus, add brushed snare and low bass swells, with violin growing more frantic. Intimate vocal, small-room reverb, and a final unresolved piano chord hang in the air., blues, slow, violin, cello
