[Intro – piano softly, unresolved]
(Cm(add9) → G7(b9) → F#dim → Cm)
The night feels colder —
colder than it should.
Empty rings—
(iron against skin, no warmth, no good).
I trace the words we used to say—
they scrape, they burn, they slip away.
[Verse 1]
(Am(add♭9) → FmMaj7 → Gsus4(b9) → Cdim7)
I gave you trust, I gave you time,
Believed our hearts were aligned— misaligned.
But shadows whispered what I feared,
A twisted chord I never cleared.
[Chorus – strained, halting]
(Cm(add♭9) → AbMaj7#11 → G7(b9) → Cm/Eb)
You were my world— discord, despair,
Now I’m left with silence— silence, you’re not there.
(Fm7 → Bdim7 → G7(b9sus4))
Every vow we made, fractured, lies—
a jagged truth each time I close my eyes.
[Violin Solo – sharp bow scrapes, crying harmonics, clashing tones]
(Cm pedal, layered with violin dissonance: C–D♭–E natural sustained)
[Verse 2]
(Am(add♭9) → Fm(add#11) → G7alt → Cm)
Your touch was colder (colder, colder),
Your smile—hollow, fractured, older.
(Bdim7 → G7b13)
And when I saw his name on your skin,
It screamed inside like dissonance within.
[Chorus – broken cadence]
(CmMaj7 → Ab(add#11) → G7(b9) → Cm/Eb)
You were my world— my prayer, my snare,
Now I’m left with silence— silence, tear, despair.
(Fm(add9) → Bdim7 → G7alt → Cm)
Every vow we made, now turned to lies,
Clashing notes behind my eyes.
[Piano + Violin Solo – pounding clusters: (C–Db–E–G) piano; violin slides across C–F# tritone]
[Bridge – half-spoken, half-sung]
(Eb(add♯11) → F#dim7 → G7alt → Cm)
Do you remember—remember?—the bells that rang?
They toll off-key, a rusted clang.
Ashes fall where fire burned,
A vow distorted, overturned.
[Chorus – whispered, distorted pacing]
(Cm(add♭9) → AbMaj7 → G7b13 → Cm)
You were my world— my shattered prayer,
Now I’m left with silence— silence everywhere.
(Fm7b5 → Bdim7 → G7alt → unresolved cluster)
Every vow we made— torn, despised,
The truth screams loud each time I close my eyes.
[Outro – piano cluster held: (C–Db–E–F#–G)]
Shattered vows, broken skies,
Love is gone… the dissonance survives.
