Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [low vocal register] Hands folded till the knuckles split I wore the floorboards thin Mouth full of holy scripts Teeth full of grit [Verse 1] They said "ask" So I asked till my lungs went glass White coats Wires That slow red graph Beeping like some bored clock Counting down the last laugh I named You in the hospital light Tried to pull You into the room But the ceiling just stared right back Like it was waiting For the vacuum to bloom [Chorus] So where were You When the room went quiet? When the air turned heavy And the hands unclenched? I carved your name Into my own silence Prayed till my throat burned out You didn’t even flinch [Verse 2] They said "plan" They said "purpose in the pain" While we boxed up clothes Found receipts For a life that won't happen again I set fire to the sympathy cards Watched saints curl up in smoke Every promise printed in gold Turned black Turned joke I used to close my eyes to speak Now I stare straight ahead when I swear your name Every "amen" tastes like rust Like I swallowed all the blame [Chorus] So where were You When the room went quiet? When the air turned heavy And the hands unclenched? I carved your name Into my own silence Prayed till my throat burned out You didn’t even flinch [Bridge] [guitar riff widens Drums half-time] If this is mercy You can keep it If this is love I don't need it Take back your verses Take back your vows I screamed myself ragged You stayed in the clouds [Chorus] [crecendo]

metal, Hybrid progressive metal meets dark alt R&B, male vocals. Intro is sparse, swung drums and distant reverb guitar, vocal almost spoken. Verses ride syncopated, down-tuned polymeter riffs with tight bass; vocal glides between low melodic lines and gritty half-screams. Chorus explodes in straight 4 feel, wide distorted guitars and stacked harmonies over a huge, anchoring kick. Bridge drops to filtered drums and clean guitar arpeggios before a crushing final chorus with octave-doubled lead and ambient feedback tail., progressive metal, electric, alternative r&b
