[Verse 1] The saints are sleeping in the gutter tonight With rosaries wrapped ‘round their throats You said, “Baby, everything’s gonna be alright” But your voice shook like broken notes I learned to pray with my teeth clenched tight Through static and sirens and screams If heaven’s a lie, then hell’s got better lighting At least it looks like you and me [Pre-Chorus] We’re screaming in different keys Still calling it harmony Your hand slips out of mine Like you planned the timing [Chorus] This is dissonance Love out of tune A requiem sung by a runaway youth You say my name like it’s evidence I say goodbye like a loaded truth We tried to make sense of the violence But hearts don’t listen—they just break So turn it up till it hurts again This is dissonance And it’s the loudest sound we make [Verse 2] I carved your initials into my ribs So I’d feel you when I breathe Every kiss felt like a final hit Every promise a felony They said, “Son, you can’t save everyone” But I tried to save you anyway Now the crowd sings along to my funeral song Like they knew I wouldn’t stay [Pre-Chorus] We’re bleeding in stereo Calling it radio You tuned me out so clean Like a dying frequency [Chorus] This is dissonance Love out of tune A siren song for the broken and bruised You swear this pain is accidental I swear it knows my name too We tried to outrun the silence But it followed us home again So strike the chord and let it bend This is dissonance Let it tear us open [Bridge – Spoken / Half-Sung] If love’s a song, then we never rehearsed Just screamed till the speakers burst You wanted quiet—I wanted the truth So we burned it all down in the booth [Breakdown] (Shout) Count me out! Count me dead! Every word you said Still rings in my head [Final Chorus] This is dissonance No resolve Just broken chords and bathroom stalls You held my heart like an instrument Then smashed it against the wall If this is how the anthem ends No encore, no curtain call Just feedback screaming “this is it” This is dissonance And I felt it all [Outro] So play it wrong Play it loud Let it haunt you when the lights go down If love’s a war, then we made our sound In dissonance
