Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Found your name On an old wristband Frayed blue cloth Still smells like rain Ceiling cracks Trace our plans in dust I blink once They both fade [Chorus] I am the dust in my throat Every word you never spoke Hollow bones in an old coat Hanging where your shadow used to float I am the stain on your floor Footsteps that don’t live here anymore If I let go Will you let go? Or haunt me slow [Verse 2] Kitchen light Flickers like your laugh Half a mug Lipstick Chipped glass I talk back To the humming air Ask myself Were you even there [Chorus] I am the dust in my throat Every word you never spoke Hollow bones in an old coat Hanging where your shadow used to float I am the stain on your floor Footsteps that don’t live here anymore If I let go Will you let go? Or haunt me slow [Bridge] I keep your letters In a broken drawer (so careful) Read the same three lines Till the words feel worn Did you mean forever Or just till you were bored I can’t tell the difference now Lying on this hardwood [Chorus] I am the dust in my throat Every word you never spoke Hollow bones in an old coat Hanging where your shadow used to float I am the stain on your floor Footsteps that don’t live here anymore If I let go Will you let go? Or haunt me slow (haunt me slow) Or haunt me slow

rock, 90s-style grunge ballad, slow tempo with swinging time feel; high male vocals on the edge of a break. Verses ride a single clean, chorus-soaked guitar line and roomy, tom-heavy drums; choruses slam in with distorted power chords, crash cymbals, and doubled vocal for catharsis. Subtle feedback swells and low, droning guitar notes haunt the spaces between phrases, building a nostalgic, eerie atmosphere., slow, nostalgic, ballad, male vocals, grunge, sad
