By the Third

[Intro – Low guitar swell, distant feedback]
First left a mark.
Second left a taste.
By the third…
I knew my place.
[Verse 1]
No running feet, no shattered glass
No panic racing through the dark
I let the room go quiet first
Let silence do the hardest part
He talks like words can slow time down
Like mercy lives in sound
I just stare straight through the noise
Waiting for the moment to drown
I don’t rush
I don’t react
I already know what happens next
[Pre-Chorus – Slow, tense]
Something in me finally settled
Something locked and never bent
[Chorus – Heavy, sustained]
THIRD KILL—no hesitation
THIRD KILL—no debate
THIRD KILL—nothing broken
Just the weight of what I am—GrebullG
[Verse 2]
I feel the room collapse inward
When the struggle fades to still
There’s no rush of anything
Just a calm I didn’t expect to feel
No shaking hands, no racing breath
No voice inside my head
Just a steady sense of order
Where the fear used to live instead
That’s when it hit me—slow and clear
This isn’t crossing lines
This is staying here
[Pre-Chorus – Lower, darker]
I didn’t lose myself tonight
I finally stopped pretending
[Chorus – Heavier, layered]
THIRD KILL—no hesitation
THIRD KILL—no debate
THIRD KILL—nothing broken
Just the weight of what I am—GrebullG
[Bridge – Half-time, massive]
Glass hits the table
Amber shines
I drink to ghosts
I leave behind
First was shock
Second was thrill
Third made it quiet
Third made it real
[Verse 3]
I wipe my hands like it’s routine
Like locking doors before I leave
City hums outside the walls
Like it already knows about me
I catch my reflection in the dark
It doesn’t ask me why
It just nods once
Like we’re aligned
[Final Chorus – Stripped, crushing]
THIRD KILL—no hesitation
THIRD KILL—no debate
THIRD KILL—this is settled
Say it slow—GrebullG
[Outro – Feedback fade]
The third one didn’t scare me…
It made me steady.
