[Intro- Distant, lo-fi grunge guitar riff with heavy reverb. The sound of a hammer cocking back on a revolver echoes through a digital glitch]
[Verse 1 - Grunge Vibe]
Cold sweat in the bathroom light
Tracing the veins where the static bites
You’re the habit I can’t seem to kick
A bitter pill that makes the healing sick
I’m shaking like a leaf on a dying limb
The lights are low, and the world is dim
You’re the dopamine hit I didn’t need
The open wound that refuses to bleed.
[Pre-Chorus - Building Tension, Drums kick in with a steady, driving metalcore beat. Sub-bass begins to pulse]
You whisper secrets like a safety catch
Waiting for the spark to meet the match
I’m a captive to the rhythm of the reload
One more breath before I implode!
[Chorus - Melodic Metalcore]
Your love is a gun, and I’m staring down the chrome!
Your words are the bullets driving straight into the bone!
I’m addicted to the damage, a ghost in the machine
The prettiest nightmare that I’ve ever seen
Pull the trigger, set me free!
(You’re the only poison that feels like therapy!)
[Verse 2 - Gritty/Electronic, Heavy synth-bass wobbles under a distorted vocal filter]
Got my mind on a tightrope wire
Walking through the gas, breathing in the fire
I’m "fine," I’m "clean," I’m "doing okay"
But I’m counting down the seconds 'til you look my way
It’s a relapse... it’s a total eclipse
I’m tasting the gunpowder on…
Your...
LIPS!
[Breakdown- Music cuts to a haunting, clean guitar melody. Silence for a heartbeat]
[Screamed]
LOCKED. AND. LOADED.
[Massive, down-tuned breakdown starts. Half-time drums.]
Chest CAVITY... OPEN!
SPARE THE MERCY... KEEP THE recoil!
BLEED ME OUT!
[The Drop - Dubstep, The breakdown transitions into a chaotic Dubstep drop. High-pitched screeching synths, "tearout" bass growls, and heavy double-kick drumming]
[BASS DROP - GLITCH - REVERSE CYMBAL, WUB-WUB-WUB-SCREECH-WUB]
"FIRE!"
[WUB-WUB-GROWL-CRASH]
[Outro, The electronic elements fade into a lonely, distorted grunge guitar]
[Whispered]
The chamber’s empty...
But the wound is still fresh.
Your words...
They’re still inside my chest.
[Heavy metal instumental with dubstep squeals]
[Musical interlude, heavy djent with glitch synths and dubstep-like bass and distortion with syncopated and chaotic drums]
LOVE!
LIKE A GUN!
WORDS!
LIKE A BULLET!
FLEE!
I’VE GOTTA RUN!
TRIGGER!
GO AND PULL IT!
[Glitchy dubstep solo]
