[Movement I — The Pulse | soft intimate male vocals + distant choir pads, low piano hits, heartbeat kick, gritty ambient synth]
Your shadow lingers in the marrow of my chest,
A quiet hunger I could never put to rest.
You tore me open just to see what I concealed—
And still I crawl back, begging you to heal.
⸻
[Movement II — First Collapse | melodic-scream blend + 8-string polyrhythmic chugs, distorted sub-bass, metallic ambience, sudden impact drums]
Carve out the rot in me—
TAKE WHAT YOU NEED
Bury the pulse of a heart that bleeds.
Drag me through the furnace,
BREAK MY DESIGN
If I’m to be reborn, then burn me blind.
⸻
[Main Chorus — soaring cleans with shadowed growls + massive open chords, layered synth choir, punchy tom-driven rhythm]
If I break beneath your weight,
Would you pull me from the dark you made?
If I fade into the fire’s glow,
Would you claim the parts you let go?
I’m still tethered to the ache you left—
Still clinging to your hollow breath.
⸻
[Movement III — The Bloom | soft falsetto male vocals + clean reverb guitars, light electronic percussion, warm pads]
But in the ashes of my broken frame,
Something grows where you carved your name.
A fragile bloom in the ruined place—
The silent echo
of your last embrace.
⸻
[Movement IV — Devour | deep gutturals + raw screams over blackened tremolo, blast-beat bursts, crushing low guitars]
DEVOUR ME
If love is just a hunger you release—
Then hollow me out
Piece by piece.
DEFINE ME
With every scar you laid beneath my skin—
I’ll bear the mark
Of where you’ve been.
⸻
[Movement V — Reprise (Ascension) | soaring clean vocals with screamed harmonies + melodic leads, polyrhythmic chugs, rising ambient choir]
I rise from the wreck of everything I was—
The cost, the pain, the quiet loss.
You built a kingdom out of all my flaws,
And still I’m crawling back
Because—
You are the wound
I can’t outgrow.
You are the fire
I still follow.
⸻
[Movement VI — Final Collapse | half-sung/half-growled vocals + slow massive breakdown, sub-bass detonations, crushing low-end]
If love is ruin,
Let me die
In your
Design.
[Final Chorus — emotional full-voice belts with layered screams + soaring leads, cinematic choir, explosive drums]
If I RISE beyond your flame,
Will your memory CLAIM what’s left of me?
If I SEVER every scar you drew,
Will the void still DRAG ME BACK TO YOU?
I break the chains you carved in flesh—
Yet your shadow CRUSHES every breath.
And even freed from the ruin you made—
I feel your hunger
CALL MY NAME.
[Tempo slows]
GAHHHH!
[Heavy drop, emotional interlude]
[Music closes out]
