Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1- Very atmospheric. A soft, haunting piano layered over a pulsing 80s synth bass. No heavy guitars yet. Vocals are pristine, breathy, and melancholic.] I shook hands with the shadow in the room Bowed my head to an altar of gloom Traded my pulse for a temporary high Just a willing victim to the beautiful lie There is no rescue from the grey in my head Just a flawless venom to keep me fed When the numbness starts to pull me under You're the only shelter from the thunder [Whispered] Artificial remedy... [Chorus- The live drums enter with a driving pop-rock groove. Clean, shimmering guitars swell in. Vocals soar into a massive, heartbreaking clean melody.] If you want to watch how I sprint right back to digging my grave, inch by inch! Swaying with the phantom when the midnight hits At the bottom of the void There’s a specter swearing that I orchestrated my own collapse! Swaying with the phantom when the midnight hits. [Verse 2- the beat picks up a little, adding a tight trap hi-hat. The bass guitar starts to get a little gritty and distorted, hinting at the heaviness to come.] Signed my name for a spirit that feeds What's the value of a heart that bleeds When it's offered up on a silver plate? Yeah, I was begging for a twist of fate But you can take it as a guarantee If the earth splits open to swallow me That is exactly where I belong, yeah. [Chorus 2- the guitars get heavier here, hitting wide-open power chords, but still keeping that soaring, emotional stadium-rock feel.] If you want to watch how I sprint right back to digging my grave, inch by inch! Swaying with the phantom when the midnight hits At the bottom of the void There’s a specter swearing that I orchestrated my own collapse! Swaying with the phantom when the midnight hits. [Bridge- The music completely cuts out. A single, eerie synth note holds for four beats. Then, the warning.] [Soft, layered choir vocals]: Worship the ruin, chained to the floor. [Distorted, robotic vocal]: Worship the ruin, chained to the floor. [Breakdown- Absolute destruction. The tuning shifts down. A disgustingly heavy, slow-motion djent groove slams in with double-kick drums and china cymbals. The beautiful Dayseeker vibe is dead. This is pure, filthy metalcore.] WORSHIP THE RUIN, CHAINED TO THE FLOOR! Wait for the silence when they lower the casket! (Lower the casket!) WORSHIP THE RUIN, CHAINED TO THE FLOOR! [Heavy Chorus- The breakdown rhythm continues, impossibly slow and heavy. The soaring synth melody tries to return in the background, but it's drowned out by the sludgy guitars.] IF YOU WANT TO WATCH HOW I SPRINT RIGHT BACK TO DIGGING MY GRAVE! INCH BY INCH! SWAYING WITH THE phantom [Disgusting guitar pinch harmonic] I AM MY OWN COLLAPSE! SWAYING in the phantom! [Outro] Sway... Sway... Sway.... SWAY! Swaying with the phantom... [Intrumental interlude]
