Midnight Amber

[Verse 1]
You trace my name
In the fog on the window
Small shaking letters
That never learned to stay
Your coat on the chair
Still holds your shape
I sit on the floor
Because the bed knows too much
[Chorus]
I break in midnight amber
Slow burn on my skin
Your shadow on these walls
Is the only thing that lets me in
I fall in midnight amber
Float
Then crash again
Every time I almost heal
You flicker through the room like sin
[Verse 2]
Cold tea on the table
Lipstick on the rim
I talk to the dust
Like it could answer you
Street hum outside
But the silence is louder
My heart keeps a rhythm
That doesn’t ask you back
[Chorus]
I break in midnight amber
Slow burn on my skin
Your shadow on these walls
Is the only thing that lets me in
I fall in midnight amber
Float
Then crash again
Every time I almost heal
You flicker through the room like sin
[Bridge]
Say you’re gone
But you haunt the small things
Loose thread on your sweater
Key on the ring
If I let you go
Do I disappear too? (oh)
I’m half of a story
Still waiting for you
[Chorus]
I break in midnight amber
Slow burn on my skin
Your shadow on these walls
Is the only thing that lets me in
I fall in midnight amber
Float
Then crash again
Every time I almost heal
You drift across my chest
And I drown in you again

Moody downtempo dubstep with female vocals, airy pads under a pulsing sub, soft piano arpeggios and a singing electric violin lead. Guitars shimmer in the sides with gentle delay, verses stay hushed and intimate, then the hook blooms with layered harmonies and half-time drops. Subtle vocal chops and distant reverb tails keep it dark and moving, like late-night soul in an abandoned warehouse., dubstep, soul, electric, soft, emotional, violin
