Drown Me Out

[Intro]
I got
Iron in my lungs
Glass in my throat
Hate in my hands
And your ghost in my coat (yeah)
[Verse 1]
You left your keys
On the kitchen floor
Like a crime scene clue
To a closed case war
Cold coffee ring
On the note you wrote
Ten cheap words
Cut deep in my throat
Every “forever”
Filed in the trash
Every late-night promise
Burned into ash
I scroll your name
Till my screen turns red
Bruised thumbs tapping
On a love gone dead
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t sleep
I just replay
Every fight
In a loop all day
I don’t breathe
I just break
You were my spine
Now I rattle and shake (hey)
[Chorus]
Drown me out
In the black of your silence
Let me choke on the hurt
On the hurt that you gave
I’m sinking slow
In the weight of this violence
Every tear that I swallow
Feels just like a grave
Drown me out
Till my lungs stop screaming
Pull me under the words
That you never explained
I’m fading fast
In the flood of your leaving
I’m heartbroken, heartbroken
Drowning in the pain
[Verse 2]
Holes in the wall
From the names you called
I punch back air
Till my bones feel small
Your perfume lives
In the seams of my bed
Like a soft curse sewn
To the back of my head
Friends all say
“Just move on, you’ll heal”
How they fix a broken rib
With a cheap-ass spiel
I wear your lies
Like a leather skin
Zipped up tight
With the rot tucked in
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t eat
I just chew through memories
Every laugh we had
Tastes bitter and strange
I don’t trust
Any word that you send me
“I’m sorry” is a bandage
On a severed vein
[Chorus]
Drown me out
In the black of your silence
Let me choke on the hurt
On the hurt that you gave
I’m sinking slow
In the weight of this violence
Every tear that I swallow
Feels just like a grave
Drown me out
Till my lungs stop screaming
Pull me under the words
That you never explained
I’m fading fast
In the flood of your leaving
I’m heartbroken, heartbroken
Drowning in the pain
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown, guitars lurch, vocals gutteral then whispered]
You said
“Trust me”
So I carved you in my chest
Now I’m
Rusting
Every breath a metal wedge
You said
“Love me”
So I tore my armor off
Now I’m
Bleeding
On the thorns of what we lost (ugh)
Rip my ribs wide
Let the sorrow spill
If I can’t have your heart
Let the darkness fill
Every empty room
Every cracked vein line
I’ll tattoo my hurt
Over all your lies (all your lies)
[Chorus]
Drown me out
In the black of your silence
Let me choke on the hurt
On the hurt that you gave
I’m sinking slow
In the weight of this violence
Every tear that I swallow
Feels just like a grave
Drown me out
Till my lungs stop screaming
Pull me under the words
That you never explained
I’m fading fast
In the flood of your leaving
I’m heartbroken, heartbroken
Drowning in the pain
[Outro]
Let it fill my mouth
Let it flood my brain
If I wake tomorrow
I’ll just scream your name
Drown me out
One last time, I’ll stay
Heartbroken
Drowning
Rotting in your shade (yeah)

rap, Hybrid metalcore / trap-metal beat: down-tuned chugs, blast-beat bursts, and glitchy 808 subs under screamed male vocals. Verses ride a jagged double-time rap flow that snaps against palm-muted guitars; choruses explode into wide, layered screams with a haunting, reverb-drenched hook. Occasional half-time breakdown hits with dissonant synth swells and distant gang shouts for maximum catharsis., metal, screamo
