Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew clocks in the margins Counting minutes that you never claimed All that cheap mascara laughter Hiding something heavy you never named Melancholy in the mirror Under photos from a better age All those almosts on the dresser Like a script stuck on the same old page [Chorus] We built coffins made of childish games Buried daylight under other people’s blame Called it “busy” and we called it “fine” Adulthood on a broken spine All these years we wrapped in plastic shame God It hurts to see the wasted time [Verse 2] You learned how to sign the papers How to pour a drink and play pretend Raised a glass to small promotions Let the bigger questions hit the fence Every Sunday Same excuses Every “later” turned to “never mind” Now your friends are having children You can’t even name what you left behind [Chorus] We built coffins made of childish games Buried daylight under other people’s blame Called it “busy” and we called it “fine” Adulthood on a broken spine All these years we wrapped in plastic shame God It hurts to see the wasted time [Bridge] How much longer Can you bargain with the grave? (hey) While the calendar keeps carving Every promise that you gave Is there mercy For the seconds you betrayed? Or do they haunt you in the dark Like a debt you never paid? [Chorus] We built coffins made of childish games Buried daylight under other people’s blame Called it “later” and we called it “mine” Adulthood on a crooked line All these years we dressed in borrowed names God It hurts to see the wasted time

rock, Soft rock foundation with male vocals that bloom into searing heavy metal choruses; verses ride clean, chimey guitars and warm bass, drums in a relaxed sway. Choruses slam in with distorted power chords, double-time kick, and soaring harmonies. Bridge leans half-time and atmospheric, then erupts into a high-register vocal climax. Let the mix start intimate and grow into a wall of sound by the final chorus., metal, melancholy, soft rock
