Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up with ash on my tongue Prayers burned out in my lungs Dead phone on the bedroom floor Still I stare like you'll call once more Every word I ever said Pinned like notes above my bed You don't answer You don't speak I just echo when I scream [Chorus] I'm lost in the valley Calling your name Throat full of gravel Drowning in shame If you were ever there Why can't I feel you here? I'm breaking the silence Tearing my chest Begging for mercy Cursing the rest If faith is just a bleed Then let me bleed Let me bleed [Verse 2] I carved your name in my doubt Hoped it might drag the poison out Held my head under holy waves Came up gasping Still not saved I shook my fists at the sky Felt my own knuckles reply Every blow just hits my face Shadow boxing empty grace [Chorus] I'm lost in the valley Calling your name Throat full of gravel Drowning in shame If you were ever there Why can't I feel you here? I'm breaking the silence Tearing my chest Begging for mercy Cursing the rest If faith is just a bleed Then let me bleed Let me bleed [Bridge] [Music drops to bass and toms Distant screams layered low] Are you gone? (or were you never?) Did I build This house of feathers? I am cracked But still I’m reaching Hands to heaven Heart receding (I’m still here) I keep confessing (I’m still here) To empty ceilings (I’m still here) Hope and fury Twist like wires Around my feelings [Chorus] I'm lost in the valley Calling your name Throat full of gravel Drowning in shame If you were ever there Why can't I feel you here? I'm breaking the silence Tearing my chest Begging for mercy Cursing the rest If all I am is need Then let me need Let me need [Outro] One more whisper in the dark One last tear that hits the floor If you never answer back I'll still be screaming at your door

Emotional post-hardcore, male vocals. Clean guitar intro swells into jagged, overdriven riffs; drums snap with restless, shifting rhythms. Verses sit half-whispered, half-spoken, then explode into raw, strained melodies. Choruses hit wide and anthemic with gang shouts and octave leads; screams tear through the bridge over a sudden drop to sparse bass and toms before a final, exhausted reprise., emotional, post-hardcore
