(Indie Metalcore Arrangement)
[Intro – Instrumental / Screamed ad-libs]
(Soft clean guitar arpeggio, ambient noise builds)
whispered: “Feeling like my head is split in two…”
(Drums hit — distorted guitars surge in)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Clean Vocals → Screamed end]
Feeling like my head is split in two
Trying to find my way back to you
But all the rot and carnage in our way
Has me filled with nothing but dismay
(Drums build, guitars open up — vocals grow harsher)
Every step drags through decay
Echoes linger, they won’t fade away
We trace the ruins where we stood
Turning love to dust and blood [screamed]
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Clean Vocals, Melodic]
You can’t pick apart the past
You can’t make the future last
(Delay guitar + atmospheric synths)
⸻
[Chorus – Clean/Screamed Mix]
[Clean] Echoes of a dying sun
[Screamed] Spitting venom from our viper tongues
[Clean] Feeling hate fueling desire
[Screamed] Ashes dancing in the fire
Is this what it looked like
When we said happily ever after?
⸻
[Verse 2 – Alternating Vocals]
Cracks appear where light once shone (clean)
This broken house no longer home (clean)
Every promise, every scar (scream grows)
A constellation falling apart (screamed)
Shadows crawl through what remains (screamed)
Whispering truths we can’t contain (screamed)
We stand in silence, side by side (clean)
While everything we built has died (screamed)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Clean Vocals, Soaring]
You can’t pick apart the past
You can’t make the future last
⸻
[Chorus – Bigger, Layered Vocals]
[Clean] Echoes of a dying sun
[Screamed harmony] Spitting venom from our viper tongues
[Clean] Feeling hate fueling desire
[Screamed] Watching kingdoms burn higher
Is this what it looked like
When we said happily ever after?
⸻
[Bridge / Breakdown – Screamed]
(Guitars drop to chugging rhythm, drums half-time)
We stitched our story with shaking hands
But the thread unraveled like sinking sand
In the end, the mirror shows
Two ghosts in love with shadows
(Breakdown intensifies — layered screams, gang vocals, ambient guitar lead)
⸻
[Final Chorus – Explosive / Clean & Screamed Blend]
[Clean lead] Echoes of a dying sun
[Screamed underneath] Spitting venom from our viper tongues
[Clean] Feeling hate fueling desire
[Screamed] Ashes dancing in the fire
Is this what it looked like
When we said happily ever after?
⸻
[Outro – Clean Vocals, Stripped Down]
(Everything drops except soft guitar)
Feeling like my head is split in two
Trying to find my way back to you…
(Feedback rings out → fade to silence)
