Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You polish all your medals Line them on my shelf You laugh about our childhood Like it only hurt myself You say that I'm dramatic For counting every bruise But I see how your eyes shine Each time I start to lose [Chorus] Trumpets for my downfall Sad brass for your delight You raise a glass As you dim my light Clapping for the car crash You called it loyalty It sounds like celebration When my best friend wants to kill me [Verse 2] You toast to my misfortune With clever little digs You crown me with my failures Like a wreath of plastic twigs You call it "just our humor" While tightening the string I choke on all my secrets You make the choir sing [Chorus] Trumpets for my downfall Sad brass for your delight You raise a glass As you dim my light Clapping for the car crash You called it loyalty It sounds like celebration When my best friend wants to kill me [Bridge] You stand there in the spotlight (are you proud of what you’ve done?) Giving speeches to the silence How you’re always still the one Every cheer cuts like a cymbal Every smile a sharpened key If I disappear tomorrow Would you play in the same key? [Chorus] Trumpets for my downfall Sad brass for your delight You raise a glass As you dim my light Clapping for the car crash You called it loyalty It sounds like loyalty When my best friend wants to kill me

Melancholy chamber-pop with solemn brass fanfare, male vocals. Soft piano and brushed drums under verses; trumpets and trombones swell on the downbeats of each chorus. Sparse strings shadow the melody; bridge drops to near a cappella then blooms into a final, aching horn coda., sad
