Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Pulled up a chair at the table One extra plate One empty seat He taps my shoulder in the menu glow Says "Order big You’re gonna leave" He takes the window on vacations Sunglasses on in every frame I hold the camera He holds the ticket Says "All these sunsets look the same" [Chorus] Grim reaper is my best friend Always walking just one step behind Grim reaper is my best friend Keeps a bony hand close to mine We laugh at the ending Like we knew it all along Grim reaper is my best friend Humming my favorite song [Verse 2] He waits outside the bathroom door Checks his watch while I wash my face Fog on the mirror He draws a heart Leaves it dripping down the glass in place We share a booth at crowded diners He steals my fries I steal his jokes We trade glances when the news comes on "Turn it louder " he croaks [Chorus] [Bridge] I’m on nodding acquaintance with silence With the flicker in fluorescent halls He leans his scythe on the bedside rail Says "You can answer when it calls" [low vocal register] I say "I’m not done being broken" He shrugs "Who said you had to mend?" We clink our cups in the evening light "To every almost Every end" [Chorus]

rock, Modern alt-rock with fuzzy rhythm guitars and a roomy live kit, medium-tempo drive. Verses stay dry and tight, bass pushing a steady pulse; chorus explodes with doubled male vocals, wide guitars, and a hooky, chanting gang vocal on the title line. Bridge drops to half-time with reverb-soaked guitar textures, then slams back into a final, shout-along chorus.
