Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Been spelling Your name In the cracks of my ceiling Dust in my lungs Still mouthing old blessings Hands pressed so hard That my nails leave scars Silence on the line But I'm still dialing stars [Chorus] I’ve got a throat full of prayers And my teeth full of doubt I am burning at the altar But You never come down If You’re there Say something If You’re there Say something now I’m singing to the rafters ’til my voice gives out [Verse 2] I tore up the pages Where they said You were kind Folded the corners Where You felt like mine I sleep with the light on Like that changes a thing Still half-expecting Some wild answering [Chorus] I’ve got a throat full of prayers And my teeth full of doubt I am burning at the altar But You never come down If You’re there Say something If You’re there Say something now I’m singing to the rafters ’til my voice gives out (my voice gives out) [Bridge] I am not Your soldier I am not Your son I am just a wound That keeps calling You home Why did You make me To ache for a ghost? Why does the dark feel More honest than hope? [Breakdown] (Answer me) I am on my knees I am on my knees (Answer me) Are You even there or just in my teeth? (Answer me) I am cracking open I am split in three Anger Hope And the part that still believes [Chorus] I’ve got a throat full of prayers And my teeth full of doubt I am burning at the altar And You still don’t come down If You’re there Say something If You’re there Say something now I’m screaming at the heavens ’til they spit me out [Outro] I keep Your name Like a splinter in my mouth Too deep to pull Too small to live without

Bridge collapses into a slow, crushing breakdown with dissonant chords and distant chant-like backing vocals, then ends on a single, hanging clean guitar note., post-hardcore, emotional
