(Intro)
(Clean, delayed guitar riff—lonely and cold. Slow build on the kick drum.)
(Verse 1)
(Bass and Drums only. Vocals are low, close to the mic—almost a whisper.)
No sound in the hall.
Just a ghost... inside the wall.
One plate. One fork.
Silence does the heavy work.
Turn the screen on... need a voice.
Table of four. Zero choice.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Guitars fade in with a palm-muted chug. Building pressure.)
She thinks I’m broken.
She thinks I’m weak.
But the quiet... is where I speak.
(Chorus)
(FULL BAND EXPLOSION. Soaring, melodic but gritty vocals.)
The lights are on! But the rooms are COLD!
Stories dying that won't be TOLD!
The world is singing loud and clear!
But SILENCE is the only guest in HERE!
(Verse 2)
(Drop back to bass groove. Vocals are grittier now, more agitated.)
Check the comms. Wait and see.
She thinks the distance... is killing me.
But the "Nice Guy?" He’s dead and gone.
The operator... is switching on.
I keep the records. I keep the log.
Just a phantom... in the fog.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Heavier this time. Snare drum marching beat.)
She calls me monster.
She calls me strange.
She doesn’t see... the exchange.
(Chorus)
(Maximum Volume)
The lights are on! But the rooms are COLD!
Stories dying that won't be TOLD!
The world is singing loud and clear!
But SILENCE is the only guest in HERE!
(Bridge / Breakdown)
(Tempo slows down. Heavy, staccato guitar riffs. Vocals turn to a rhythmic shout/scream.)
You stripped the soft parts!
You peeled the soul!
Carved me down!
To take control!
I! AM! UN! YIELDING!
I! AM! THE! SHIELDING!
(Guitar Solo - Melodic and bluesy, then speeding up into shredding)
(Final Chorus)
(Music drops out for the first two lines—Vocals only)
The lights are on... but the rooms are cold.
Stories dying... that won't be told.
(BAND CRASHES BACK IN)
The world is singing loud and clear!
But SILENCE is the only guest in HERE!
(Outro)
(Return to the clean intro riff. Fading out.)
Just a digital window... into that place.
I hang up the phone.
I stand my guard.
At the table of four.
