Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] House feels hollow Coffee gone cold Three names on my tongue I can barely hold Justin in the doorway Jason on the floor Mathew in the hallway Now there’s ashes at the door [Chorus] I feel like I died in a fire Burned down to smoke and wire Hurt and lost I’m barely hangin’ on (oh) I remember their smiles Marty’s kisses on my skin Every time I try to heal That memory pulls me in It’s so hard So hard Movin’ on [Verse 2] I see their sneakers By the back step still Laughter in the drywall Silence in the will Picture on the fridge Crooked on the nail Every crooked little frame Reads another kind of fail [Chorus] I feel like I died in a fire Burned down to smoke and wire Hurt and lost I’m barely hangin’ on (yeah) I remember their smiles Marty’s kisses on my skin Every time I try to heal That memory pulls me in It’s so hard So hard Movin’ on [Bridge] Some nights I talk to shadows Like they might talk back Ask a lot of questions Get a whole lot of black But I wake up every morning Breathin’ in this pain If I’m still breathin’ Maybe love’s still in the frame (oh) [Chorus] I feel like I died in a fire Burned down to smoke and wire Hurt and lost But I’m still holdin’ on I remember their smiles Marty’s kisses on my face I carry every one of them To fill this empty place It’s so hard Yeah it’s hard But I keep movin’ on [Outro] Burned but I’m breathin’ Scarred but I’m singin’ on One small step One soft song I keep movin’ I keep movin’ on

Slow, aching electric blues ballad; male vocals weary but strong. Clean guitar with a touch of overdrive bends around the vocal, upright bass and lazy hi-hat ride in a deep pocket. Organ swells answer key lyric lines, harmonica fills between phrases near the turnarounds. Dynamic arc from fragile verses to a wider, wailing chorus, last chorus drops to almost a whisper then swells for a final sustained guitar phrase., blues
