Prompt / Lyrics
[Tempo and feel: Slow, haunting, emotional, 4/4, approximately 4–4.5 minutes]

[Intro / Instrumental (Em – C – G – D): Fingerpick chords slowly. Emphasize bass notes with thumb, higher strings with fingers. Overlay lead line on high strings: High E string 0 – 3 – 0 – 0, B string 0 – 1 – 1 – 0 – 3 – 1. Let notes ring, use gentle slides, and keep sparse ambient spacing]

[Verse 1 (Em – Cmaj7 – G – Dsus2): Fingerpick each chord slowly, accentuating top strings. Let chords breathe with vocal phrasing. Lead optional, echoing top notes from intro very subtly]

[Lyrics Verse 1]
I hide behind this fractured face
Smile to the world, but I feel erased
Every word I speak feels hollow inside
A man I pretend to be, I cannot confide

[Chorus (C – G – D – Em): Mix fingerpicking and gentle strums. Lead line softly follows vocal melody: High E string 0 – 3 – 0 – 0, B string 1 – 0 – 3 – 0 – 1]

[Lyrics Chorus]
I am lost, I am worn, I am bleeding alone
No one can see the cracks I’ve sewn
The night swallows me, I fade from the light
Searching for truth in the depth of this fight

[Verse 2 (Em – Cmaj7 – G – Dsus2): Fingerpick as in Verse 1. Lead line optional, echoing intro/chorus motifs]

[Lyrics Verse 2]
I preach of hope, but my hands are tied
All the lessons I gave, I’ve denied
The mirror shows a stranger I’ve become
A shadow of faith, and I am undone

[Bridge (Am – Em – C – D): Fingerpick slowly, let notes linger. Lead line for tension: High E string 0 – 0 hammer-on 2 – 0, B string 1 – 1 – 3 – 1. Add subtle slides or bends for haunting effect]

[Lyrics Bridge]
Silence echoes louder than my screams
Dreams of redemption torn at the seams
Hold me under, let me break
This life I live, this soul I forsake

[Instrumental Outro (Em – C – G – D): Fingerpick chords slowly, add melodic lead: High E string 0 – 0 – 0, B string 0 – 1 hammer-on 3 – 0 – 1. Let notes fade naturally, leaving the last note ringing into silence]
