Beneath the White

[Tuning: Drop B]
[Tempo: 70 BPM intro → 140 BPM main
Time: 4/4]


[INTRO – Slow / Ominous]
[Guitar: Clean, delay-soaked picking → dissonant swells]
[Bass: Low drone]
[Drums: Sparse hits, distant toms]

[Spoken / Prayer (soft, reverent) with layered chants in the background]
Lord, search me…
And know my heart…
Cleanse what is hidden…
And reveal the truth within…


[BUILD]
[Guitar: Add distortion, palm-muted pulse]
[Drums: Kick builds, tom rolls rising]

You paint it clean to hide the stain
A fragile mask that can’t contain


[VERSE 1 – Aggressive entry]
[Guitar: Tight chugs, syncopated riff]
[Drums: Fast kick, snare accents]

You preach perfection with a forked tongue
Spit your lies like scripture sung
Dressed in grace, but stained in filth
A hollow crown, inherited guilt


[PRE-CHORUS – Tension rise]
[Guitar: Open chords, dissonance ringing]

I see through your disguise
Cracks forming in your porcelain lies


[CHORUS – Heavy / Repetitive]
[Full band hits hard, half-time feel]

BENEATH
THE WHITE


BENEATH
THE WHITE


Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside
Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside


[VERSE 2 – Driving, confrontational]
[Guitar: Groovier chugs, spaced hits for 140 BPM feel]

You cast the stone, then hide your hands
Build your throne on sinking sand
Sanctified with hollow breath
A painted path that leads to death


[PRE-CHORUS]

Every word you say
Echoes through decay


[CHORUS – Bigger]

BENEATH
THE WHITE


BENEATH
THE WHITE


Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside
Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside


[BREAKDOWN – Half-time / Crushing (140 BPM groove)]
[Huge chugs, wider spacing, heavy impact hits]

CRACK

THE
SURFACE

LET IT
SHOW

WHAT YOU
HIDE
BELOW

PORCELAIN

FUCKING
LIES



[OUTRO – Instrumental / Haunting Chant Fade]
[Guitar: Clean, reverb-heavy chords slowly ringing out]
[Ambient: Reverse swells, low drones building atmosphere]
[Drums: Sparse floor tom hits, slowing, then silence]

[Chants: Layered, distant, male + female voices, reverb-heavy]

Beneath the white…
Beneath the white…

Porcelain… lies…

[Whispers panned left/right]
You’re not clean…
You’re not clean…

[Final chant – stretched, fading]
Dead inside…

Melodic metalcore with crushing chugs, slow builds, aggressive breakdowns, haunting atmospheres, & layered vocals, male
