[STYLE PROMPT: Dark 90s grunge, medium-slow tempo, filthy drop-tuned guitars, thick distorted bass, loose explosive drums. Raw raspy male vocal with cracked, wounded delivery, quiet mumbled verses and violent melodic choruses. Nirvana-era grunge energy without copying any specific song. Heavy half-time breakdown. Lyrics cryptically explore craving touch, desire, validation, intimacy, and the desperate need to feel wanted.]
[INTRO — clean detuned guitar / amp hiss]
[Almost whispered]
Leave the hallway light on…
I hate what the dark knows.
[Distortion crashes in]
[VERSE 1 — restrained / uneasy]
There’s an empty shape beside me
Like a stain that won’t come clean
I keep feeding it attention
Just to hear it breathe
Every mirror wants an answer
Every answer wants a lie
I could disappear inside you
Just to know I’m still alive
[PRE-CHORUS — bass climbs / vocal cracks]
Put your hand through the static
Find whatever’s left
I don’t need forever
I just need—
[CHORUS — HUGE DISTORTED GUITARS]
WANT ME!
Like the room is burning down
NEED ME!
Like there’s nobody else around
Pull me close enough to vanish
Close enough to lose my name
I don’t care what you call it
Just don’t leave me here the same
[Backing vocal: “WANT ME… WANT ME…”]
[VERSE 2 — dirty bass / muted guitar]
Your shadow crossed the doorway
And every nerve stood up
There’s a hunger without language
And I’ve swallowed way too much
I want fingerprints on silence
I want heat without a flame
Something reckless in the midnight
Something breathing out my name
[PRE-CHORUS — building]
Don’t promise me tomorrow
Don’t decorate the truth
Just make this empty body
Feel useful—
[CHORUS — screamed harmonies]
WANT ME!
Like the room is burning down
NEED ME!
Like we’re the only ones around
Pull me close enough to vanish
Close enough to lose my name
[Raspy harmony: “LOSE MY NAME!”]
I don’t care what you call it
Love and hunger look the same
[BREAKDOWN — HALF-TIME / MASSIVE RIFF]
[Drums drop into crushing half-time]
Skin.
Smoke.
Breath.
Ghost.
[Guitar hit after each word]
I keep confusing being touched
With being known
I keep confusing being wanted
With having somewhere—
[SCREAMED]
TO GO!
[Riff x4 / feedback]
[BRIDGE — clean guitar / vulnerable vocal]
Maybe I’m a vacant room
Begging footsteps to come through
Maybe every open door
Is just another thing I use
To prove somebody sees me
To prove somebody stayed
To prove this little animal
Was worth the mess it made
[FINAL CHORUS — FULL BAND / DESPERATE]
WANT ME!
Even if it’s only tonight
NEED ME!
Make the wrong thing feel alright
Hold me close enough to vanish
Close enough to kill the noise
[Backing vocals: “KILL THE NOISE!”]
I don’t need your explanation
I just need to be your choice
[OUTRO — instruments slowly collapsing]
[Feedback / exhausted vocal]
Leave the hallway light on…
Leave something on my skin…
Anything that says
somebody…
was here.
[Whisper]
I hate what the dark knows.
[Final low guitar chord rings into feedback]
