Intro (cold, slow, distant feedback)
Frost in my lungs, static in my head
Cathedrals built from things I said
Broken glass sings when I breathe
Every prayer tastes like gasoline
(Double pedal fades in—heartbeat speed)
⸻
Verse I (blast beats)
Double kicks like a war in my chest
Every night feels like a failed test
I drink to forget, I pray to remember
God feels far, the fire’s closer
Candles drown in plastic cups
I kneel on doubt just to feel something
Heaven’s quiet, hell screams loud
I’m lost in the sound, I’m lost right now
⸻
Pre-Chorus (half-time, tense)
The bottle speaks in a holy tone
Says I’m never really alone
I reach for faith with shaking hands
But the glass keeps saying “Amen”
⸻
DROP I (FULL BLAST — tremolo & fury)
I’M DRUNK ON SIN AND SOBER ON FEAR
SCREAMING AT GOD BUT HE’S NEVER NEAR
BLACK METAL HYMNS IN A BARROOM PEW
TRYING TO FIND JESUS IN 90-PROOF
⸻
Verse II (relentless, colder)
Crosses carved in bathroom walls
Scripture bleeding down them all
I laugh with demons, pray with ghosts
Don’t know which one I trust the most
My shadow drinks before I do
It knows the hell I’m running to
Faith tastes bitter, liquor burns clean
Both leave me empty in-between
⸻
Breakdown (slow, crushing, doom weight)
If Jesus walks on water
Why am I still sinking?
If grace is free
Why does it hurt to drink it?
⸻
DROP II (FASTER — ANGRIER — BIGGER)
BOTTLE IN ONE HAND, CROSS IN THE OTHER
ONE SAYS “FORGET,” ONE SAYS “GET CLOSER”
I BLEED CONFESSION INTO THE PIT
BLACKENED SOUL BUT I’M SICK OF THIS
⸻
Bridge (ritual chant, gang vocals)
No saints
No saviors
Just teeth and wire
And a soul on fire
⸻
Outro (melodic, bleak, fading)
Morning comes like judgment day
Empty glass, nothing left to say
If salvation knows my name
Find me buried in the flame
(Feedback rings out, drums die last)
