Prompt / Lyrics
[INTRO – distant, submerged] (washed-out guitars bloom slowly, low-tuned, heavy reverb) (soft drum pulse enters like a heartbeat underwater) (breathy vocal delay tails, barely audible) ⸻ [VERSE 1] You’re still alive somewhere in the city But you feel like a ghost in my lungs I talk to the walls like they know you Like silence might answer back once I trace your name in the mirror Steam fading before I can see Missing someone who’s still breathing Is a different kind of grief ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] (bass thickens, guitars detune slightly) Some days I float in the quiet Some days the weight pulls me down I keep my face calm and steady While the room spins around ⸻ [CHORUS – open, heavy but dreamy] (big Deftones-style chord swell, wide and slow) It comes in waves, it don’t warn me I’m fine for hours, then I break I keep talking to you in my head Like you’ll answer someday I’m losing time, not the people Years slipping through my hands Love like this outlives the body And I don’t know where it lands ⸻ [VERSE 2] (drums pull back, guitars shimmer) I hear you when the nights get longer In every sound I didn’t choose Conversations never ending With a version of you I lose I watch the seasons change without me Months collapsing into one Didn’t notice time was taking things I was stuck on what’s gone ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] (low harmony enters, subtle distortion) You live inside my habits Every road, every room You’re not dead — just unreachable And that’s what breaks me in two ⸻ [CHORUS – heavier] (guitars slightly more distorted, drums wider) It comes in waves, it keeps pulling I swear I’m breathing, then I’m not I save a place for your voice In every thought I forgot I’m losing time instead of people Watching days fall apart Love like this has nowhere to go So it stays in my heart ⸻ [BRIDGE – stripped, intimate] (everything drops to ambient guitar + bass hum) (vocal close, almost whispered) If love could fade, I’d survive this If grief had shape, I’d learn its size But it just sleeps inside my chest Growing heavier with time ⸻ [BREAKDOWN – restrained heaviness] (low chugging guitars, slow and massive) (kick hits like distant thunder) (no screaming — tension through tone) ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – widest, most emotional] (full mix opens, layered vocals, thick low end) It comes in waves, I stop fighting Let it pull me under slow Some days I breathe, some days I vanish Into who we used to know I’m not mourning a goodbye I’m mourning what still remains Love that outlived the person Is the deepest kind of pain ⸻ [OUTRO] (guitars trail off into noise and reverb) (last vocal line echoes and degrades) You’re not gone… You’re just everywhere I can’t reach.
