Velvet Room at the Bottom

[Verse 1]
Teeth marks on my pillow
Nails in my palm
Counting all the ceiling cracks
To try and stay calm
Midnight feels like Monday
Every breath a chore
I’m the ghost inside the hallway
Of my parents’ door
[Chorus]
Sing me to sleep on the edge of the roof
Crooked halo
Tangled truth
If I disappear
Would anybody know?
I’m humming myself
A funeral lullaby
Soft and slow
(soft and slow)
A funeral lullaby you’ll never hear
If I let go
[Verse 2]
Cold light from the fridge door
Blue across my skin
Scrolling through the pretty lives
Wishing I was them
Left all of my messages
On “maybe some day”
But the walls know every secret
That I’m scared to say
[Chorus]
Sing me to sleep on the edge of the roof
Crooked halo
Tangled truth
If I disappear
Would anybody know?
I’m humming myself
A funeral lullaby
Soft and slow
(soft and slow)
A funeral lullaby you’ll never hear
If I let go
[Bridge]
If I stay
Can I stay as a shadow?
If I break
Will it make any sound?
If I call your name
From the bottom of this black hole
Would you pull me back
Or lay beside me on the ground?
[Chorus]
Sing me to sleep
Drag me back from the roof
Hold my shaking
Hold my proof
I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
So I’ll sing to myself
A fragile lullaby
Low and raw
(low and raw)
A fragile lullaby that keeps me near
I won’t let go

rock, Female vocals over a slow, crushing rock lullaby: swung floor toms and tom-heavy groove, fuzzed bass, and washed-out guitars drenched in reverb. Verses stay hushed and close-mic’d, almost whispered over dark ambient pads; chorus explodes with distorted power chords and stacked harmonies, then collapses back to a fragile, single-voice outro. Occasional feedback swells and detuned glockenspiel for eerie, childlike color., dark ambient, punk
