Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Flick of the needle Buzz in my head Steam on the mirror Names of the dead Her perfume phantom Clings to my sleeves Every new letter Scratches and seethes [Verse 2] I spell you in cursive Under my throat Curl of your laughter Skinned into quotes Every confession Carved in my hide Gallery of faces Pinned to my side [Chorus] I am the reckoning Crawling through your veins (through your veins) Every scar you worship I will make it stain All of the silent mouths Buried in your skin I am the tide that’s rising You will drown in them (drown in them) [Verse 3] Black ink and shiver Blemished devotion Needle keeps dragging Through frozen oceans I hear your footsteps Under the floor Voices in cursive Clawing the door [Bridge] [Halftime Guitars open up Vocals snarl] You write us down To lock us in But every line Runs back to sin You brand our lives To bless your blame But we are fire Inside your name (hey!) [Chorus] I am the reckoning Crawling through your veins (through your veins) Every scar you worship I will make it stain All of the silent mouths Buried in your skin I am the tide that’s rising You will drown in them [Chorus] We are the reckoning Whispering your crimes (your crimes) Every mark that saved you Turns against your mind All of the numbered ghosts Etched beneath your grin We are the flood that’s coming You will break within (break within)

metal, Modern melodic metal; male and female vocals trading lead. Downtuned guitars chug and slide around a midtempo groove, tom-heavy drums and splashes of double-kick in the chorus. Verses are tense and palm-muted with eerie clean guitar lines; choruses explode with wide distorted chords, stacked female harmonies, and soaring lead lines. Occasional pinch harmonics and a brief halftime breakdown under the bridge to amp the menace., female vocals
