Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Small shoes by the doorway Tiny jacket on the chair I lace my boots like battle armor But the war is in my head Her laugh cuts through the static Two teeth Crooked little grin I lift her up like she’s my trophy While I’m rusting from within [Chorus] Am I an anchor in the fire Or a storm that drags us under Can these shaking hands be stronger Than the echoes of my past I see her eyes They’re getting brighter While my shadows growing faster Will I break her Will I save her Tell me Can this cursed heart last [Verse 2] My father’s voice in the mirror Spitting venom through my face Every promise snapped like branches Every silence leaving stains I hear her crying in the nighttime I’m afraid I’ll sleep straight through So I sit awake ’til sunrise Guarding her from me and you [Chorus] Am I an anchor in the fire Or a storm that drags us under Can these shaking hands be stronger Than the echoes of my past I see her eyes They’re getting brighter While my shadows growing faster Will I break her Will I save her Tell me Can this cursed heart last [Bridge] Two a.m She’s breathing softly Tiny fist around my thumb (hold on) Every fear I’ve ever buried Comes up gasping for my lungs If I stand here in the terror If I stay when I could run Maybe monsters lose their power When they’re staring at the sun [Chorus] I’ll be an anchor in the fire Not a storm that drags us under Let these shaking hands grow stronger Than the echoes of my past In her eyes The world is waiting So I’ll bleed to be her shelter If I break I’ll break in front of her So she knows I came back So she knows I came back (for her)

metal, Crushing modern metal, drop-tuned guitars with tremolo-picked riffs and dissonant chords, double-kick bursts under the verses, half-time stomp in the chorus. Male vocals shifting from tortured mid screams to melodic, anthemic hooks with gang shouts doubling key lines. Sparse, clean-guitar bridge with reverb that swells back into a final full-band onslaught, bass grinding tight with the kick, tom-heavy fills leading into section hits.
