Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Rust on the swings in the backyard Smoke from the leaves in the ditch We said some words like broken bottles Left them buried in the grass In the pitch [Chorus] These shadows in the fall Carry every name I called you Every cracked and crooked truth I was scared to say at all If I face what I became Will you answer when I call? In the amber and the ache We are shadows in the fall [Verse 2] You kept the sweater I bled on From that night I hit the wall I kept your letters in my glove box Like a crime I couldn’t solve [Chorus] These shadows in the fall Carry every name I called you Every cracked and crooked truth I was scared to say at all If I face what I became Will you answer when I call? In the amber and the ache We are shadows in the fall [Bridge] I was all sharp teeth You were soft relief I tore right through Blamed it all on you Can we learn that old language Where forgiveness sounds like rain? Say it slow Say it shaking I will never run again (never again) [Chorus] These shadows in the fall Don’t erase the things I did But they show the shape of us In the branches In the wind If I hold the hurt I gave you Let it cut me through and through Can we step out of the dark Find a truer shade of you? These shadows in the fall Are a map back through it all If we speak it If we stay We are more than what we were Shadows in the fall

metal, Male vocals over a hybrid of alt-metal crunch and hazy shoegaze swirl; verses ride a downtempo trip-hop groove with softly distorted bass, ghostly guitar washes, and whispered doubles on key phrases. Chorus explodes into soaring dream-pop harmonies over post-hardcore drums and wide, bending lead lines. Bridge strips back to submerged kick, reversed textures, and intimate vocal, then slams back into a final high-energy hook with stacked, slightly detuned backing vocals., post-hardcore, shoegaze, alternative metal, dream pop
