Ashes in Her Eyes

[Intro]
Dark room
Burnt spoon
Phone screen glow
And the walls all move
[Verse 1]
Taste metal on my tongue
Little baggie like a loaded gun
Every promise that I ever broke
Still echo in the bedroom smoke
She found me on a bathroom floor
Shaking, saying I don’t want this anymore
She held my face like I wasn’t trash
Said, "Breathe with me," while the visions crashed
[Pre-Chorus]
I pinned my halo
To her heartbeat
Thought I was saved
Every time our eyes meet
[Chorus]
You were my rehab, my religion
Only reason I kept living
I put my soul in your hands
You let it slip through your fingers
Now you’re falling out of faith
I can feel you drift away
If you don’t love me tonight
I might not see daylight
(So tell me that you’ll stay)
Before I fade to grey
[Verse 2]
You don’t look at me the same
Eyes say "run" while your lips say "stay"
Count the scars that you cannot see
Every track mark spelling "please"
You used to wait up till 4 a.m.
Now you answer like "Who is this again?"
Your silence is a sharpened blade
Carving holes in the hope we made
[Pre-Chorus]
I stitched my future
To your shadow
If you step out
Where the hell do I go?
[Chorus]
You were my rehab, my religion
Only reason I kept living
I put my soul in your hands
You let it slip through your fingers
Now you’re falling out of faith
I can feel you drift away
If you don’t love me tonight
I might not see daylight
(Just lie and say you’ll stay)
Or watch me fade away
[Bridge]
Got a note in my pocket with your name on it
Every line is a line that I crossed for you
If I jump, if I choke on the guilt, on the smoke
Would you cry, would you feel that it’s overdue?
I am the mess that you couldn’t fix
You are the cure that I learned to miss
If you walk, I walk off this edge too
’Cause I only learned to live
When I lived in you
[Chorus]
You were my rehab, my religion
Only reason I kept living
I put my soul in your hands
You let it slip through your fingers
If you’re falling out of faith
Then I’m falling into flames
If you don’t love me tonight
I might not see daylight
(One last "I love you," please)
Before I go to sleep

rap, Hybrid nu-metal/rap track with male vocals: eerie clean guitar and distant choir pads under whispered opening; verses ride a lurching half-time groove with downtuned guitars, 808-sub reinforcement, tight trap hats. Choruses explode into screamed hooks, layered octave vocals, and wide distorted power chords. Bridge drops to a haunting spoken-word over bass and toms, then slams back with double-time drums and dissonant lead guitar textures for the final chorus., nu metal, metal
