Split the Sky in Two

[Verse 1]
You slam the door
Plates still warm
Cold on the table
You say I'm never home
I grind my teeth
Clock in my skull
You say I left you
Like I'm the ghost in these walls
[Chorus]
We split the sky in two (you never hear me)
Tear this house in half (you always blame me)
Every word a knife we chew
We split the sky in two
[Verse 2]
You check my phone
Hunt for a sin
Every late message
You twist it under my skin
I count the bills
Stacked like bricks
You call it distance
I call it trying to fix this
[Chorus]
We split the sky in two (you never see me)
Tear this house in half (you always leave me)
Every word a knife we chew
We split the sky in two
[Bridge]
[Call-and-response screams]
HUSBAND: I am not your enemy
WIFE: Then why do you aim at me?
HUSBAND: I am breaking just like you
WIFE: Then bleed when I’m bleeding too
HUSBAND: Say my name
Not my failures
WIFE: Hold my hand
Not your anger
BOTH: We built this coffin out of truth
BOTH: Who climbs out
Me or you?
[Chorus]
We split the sky in two (still standing, shaking)
Tear this house in half (still here, still breaking)
Every word a knife we chew
But I still reach for you
[Outro]
Teeth bared
Hands shaking
Same bed
Floor quaking
Hate on our tongues
Hope in our throats
Two torn voices
One frayed rope

metal, Grinding death metal with dual male/female vocals trading screams. Guitars in drop tuning chug and blast through dissonant riffs; drums alternate blast beats and half-time stomps. Verses stay tight and tense, choruses open with octave chords and crowd-chant hook. Bridge goes chaotic with call-and-response shrieks, then a crushing final breakdown., death metal
