Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You’re stirring tea in an empty cup Talking to the chair like it talks back Pills lined up like little white flags You say “They’re watching from the cracks” [Chorus] You say you’re scared of the dark But the dark is inside you You say I’m all that you’ve got So I stay right beside you If you’re going under I’ll be the one who pulls you through I’ll be the last thing you see When the world forgets you [Verse 2] Windows taped All the curtains pinned You count my breaths just to “keep me safe” You ask me “Would you miss me if I slipped?” Your hand on the handle of the balcony gate [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] They’ll call it a tragedy They’ll blame it on the voices in your head But your hands were shaking on my throat first You begged me “End it End it ” in our bed [low vocal register] So I held you Still as stone Till the screaming in our walls went quiet You didn’t jump Didn’t fall I chose the silence I chose the riot [Chorus] [Outro] [growing reverb Then cut dry] You say you’re scared of the dark But the dark is inside me They’ll say you slipped from my arms Only I remember How you stopped fighting When I did the ending for you

Brooding alt-pop ballad over sparse, detuned piano and distant industrial hits. Low male vocals in the verses, almost spoken, with eerie reversed pads under the chorus. Sub-bass swells and filtered percussion creep in slowly, then drop out to a stark, chilling final line. Subtle distorted whispers and reversed breaths add unease; everything mixed dark and close.
