Empty To Void

[Verse 1]
Nights like this
Ceiling’s just a stone I throw prayers at
Mouth is dry
But my head still drowns in old panic
Tore out pages
Left the margins full of blame
You were quiet
I was shouting at the flame
[Chorus]
I can’t forget
What you said was forever
This “eternal gift”
Feels chained to the present
Holding my breath
In a life I never wanted
From empty to void
I’m screaming to heaven
(are you there? are you there?)
[Verse 2]
I wear doubt
Like a cross I never chose
Talk in circles
Till the blood runs from my throat
If you’re love
Why’s your silence so loud?
If I’m yours
Why do I still black out?
[Chorus]
I can’t forget
What you said was forever
This “eternal gift”
Feels chained to the present
Holding my breath
In a life I never wanted
From empty to void
I’m screaming to heaven
(break my fall, break my fall)
[Bridge]
[Clean guitar drops out
Drums and bass pound steady under layered screams]
Are you proud of this anger in me? (answer)
Did you carve out this ache just to see?
If I tear down the altar and all that I knew
Will I finally find you
Or finally lose you?
[Chorus]
I can’t forget
What you said was forever
This “eternal gift”
Cut deep in the present
Holding my breath
Till the last of me is honest
From empty to void
I’m still screaming to heaven
(take this life, if you’re real)
From empty to void
I’m still reaching for heaven

rock, Hard emo rock with male vocals; intro drops in on distant, reverb-heavy clean guitar, then full band hits with tight drums and gritty bass. Verses stay tense with palm-muted guitars under vulnerable cleans; chorus explodes into wide, layered chords and soaring top-line. Screamed call-and-response lines cut through in the second half with heavier distortion and tom-driven fills. Final chorus climbs a step, vocals pushed to the edge, ending on a hanging feedback drone., soaring, emo, wrestling, raw
