Wiping My Tears

(Bright, cascading synths and emotional vocal chops)

Vocal loop: Washing it away... just washing it away...

Morning light is slicing through the blinds (Cutting through...)

Showing everything we left behind

Picking up the pieces off the floor

(Off the floor...)

And all the words you threw right out the door

This saltwater is stinging on my face (Stinging now...)

Trying to scrub your memory from this place

(Drum dropout, white-noise riser)

Wiping my tears while you’re turning away

Watching the sun turn the shadows to gray

Gotta wash the taste of you from my skin (From my skin...)

Before I let the healing finally begin

(Full melodic drop, driving half-time percussion)

Wiping my tears, letting them fall (Letting them fall...)

Washing your ghost right off of the wall

You turned around when the storm started to blow (Letting me go...)

But the water is clearing and I finally know

Crying it out, crying it clean (So clean...)

Leaving the wreck of what we used to be

(Lighter, skipping drum pattern)

Sink is running, drowning out the sound

(Drowning it out...)

Of all the heavy thoughts still spinning aroundLook into the mirror at the stains (At the stains...)

And realize that I am more than my pain

You took your love and gave it to a ghost (Gave it away...)

But I’m the one who needs my mercy most

(The beat strips completely back to a warm, pulsing sub-bass and intimate vocals, building into a massive future bass snare roll)

And it hurts to let the current take me under (Take me under...)

But I'm tired of running from the thunder

So let the rain wash over my eyes (Over my eyes...)

I'm waking up from all of your lies!(High-pitched vocal chop scream builds up)

(Maximum energy drop, layered vocal harmonies exploding with massive synth chords)

Wiping my tears, letting them fall (Letting them fall...)

Washing your ghost right off of the wall

You turned around when the storm started to blow (Letting me go...)

But the water is clearing and I finally know

Crying it out, crying it clean (So clean...)

Leaving the wreck of what we used to be

(Synth plucks, heavy reverb, slow fade)

Just wiping them away...

Crying it clean.

(Whisper:) Letting it fall...

(Filter out high frequencies, underwater effect)
