[Intro – Minimal Piano & Soft Vocals]
You touched me like I was sacred
Like I wouldn’t turn to ash
But every word you gave me
Fell through me like glass
I held your breath in my lungs
’Til my ribs forgot how to move
Now the silence has weight
And your absence is truth
⸻
[Verse 1 – Soft Vocals over Sparse Piano + Ambient Synths]
Your voice still curls in the corners of this room
Fading like incense smoke, staining the gloom
And I keep lighting candles for a god that won’t speak
Praying your ghost might find the parts of me I couldn’t keep
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Slow Build / Bass Drum + Reverb Guitar]
I’m not alive, I’m just…
Moving where you used to sleep
Each heartbeat a ritual
For the things I couldn’t keep
⸻
[Chorus – Heavy Drop, Downtuned Guitars, Soaring Vocals]
So bury me inside your grief
Let me drown where your shadows sleep
You were all I ever believed
Now I fall in your memory—
So slow.
So deep.
So empty.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Return to Quiet / Bass Swells + Haunting Vocals]
I see you in the mirror
But the face isn’t mine
It’s twisted by longing
Distorted by time
You were the only prayer
I ever learned to speak
Now I kneel at your altar
With blood on my teeth
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken / Chant-like with Heavy Tremolo Guitars Building]
I wear this grief like a crown of rust
Every breath another betrayal of trust
You were the storm, the flood, the flame—
And now I’m just a shell with your name
⸻
[Final Chorus – Melodic and Screamed Overlap / Slow but Massive]
Bury me inside your grief
Let me drown where your shadows sleep
You were all I ever believed
Now I fall in your memory—
So slow…
So deep…
So empty…
⸻
[Outro – Piano Only, Repeating Final Line Whispered]
I loved you like a ritual
And I die like one too
