Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Crystals in the sand Sky the color of a bruise I keep waking in the wrong world Sunlight feels like bad news Names carved into quests But I only taste the ash Every victory a half-step From another heart I’ll crash [Chorus] I was the shadowbringer Dragging daylight to its knees Saving strangers Losing pieces Dropping memories like leaves I was the shadowbringer Chasing gods through dying towns Lifted up like some savior Just to fall Just to fall Back down [Verse 2] Towers made of prayers Cities breathing borrowed time Every smile a little fragile Every promise edged in rhyme You held out your hand Said “We don’t have long” So I learned to swing a weapon Where I used to write a song [Chorus] I was the shadowbringer Dragging daylight to its knees Saving strangers Losing pieces Dropping memories like leaves I was the shadowbringer Chasing gods through dying towns Lifted up like some savior Just to fall Just to fall Back down [Bridge] All these worlds I keep repairing (oh) Leave a fracture in my chest If I’m only what they’re fearing Am I more than what is left? Every sin I keep on shouldering Every shard inside my hands If I break Will you remember me When you wake in gentler lands? [Chorus] I was the shadowbringer Dragging daylight to its knees Saving strangers Losing pieces Dropping memories like leaves I was the shadowbringer Burning bright in borrowed crowns Held your hope like a weapon Now I’m gone Now I’m gone Calm down [Outro] Crystals in the sand Fading footprints in the rain If I never see that sky again Will it still Say my name?

rock, Hazy shoegaze and art rock blend: washed-out guitars through heavy reverb, slow-building drums, and a droning bass bed. Male vocals hover like a ghost above the mix, stacked falsetto doubles in the chorus. Verse guitars stay murky and distant; chorus erupts with wide stereo fuzz and synth pads blooming underneath. Final bridge pulls instruments back to an almost a cappella hush, then crashes once more into a saturated, swirling outro., dream pop, shoegaze, art rock
