Phantom Crash

[Verse 1]
You were just a maybe
Profile picture
Half a name
Still you cut right through me
Like you’d trained for all my veins
Empty room
Screen glow
Talking to a typing sign
How can someone I don’t know
Take up all this space inside
[Chorus]
You’re my phantom crash
I bleed for a love that never happened
Carving out your name
On a body you will never touch
You’re my almost ache
Screaming for a face that never mattered
How do I miss you this much
When I never had your love
[Verse 2]
Friends say I should move on
From a dream that never lived
But the scars spell out your letters
Every time I pull my wrist
Bedroom like an ocean
Clothes and bottles on the floor
I rehearse a perfect meeting
Then erase it at the door
[Chorus]
You’re my phantom crash
I bleed for a love that never happened
Carving out your name
On a body you will never touch
You’re my almost ache
Screaming for a face that never mattered
How do I miss you this much
When I never had your love
[Bridge]
Is it love or just the shape of it
Lonely filling in the blanks again (again)
You’re a shadow that I painted bright
Now I’m staring at an outline
Paper-thin
If I disappear in fragments
Would you even feel the air grow cold
Or am I just another
Unanswered message in your phone
[Chorus]
You’re my phantom crash
I bleed for a love that never happened
Carving out your name
On a body you will never touch
You’re my almost ache
Screaming for a face that never mattered
How do I miss you this much
When I never had your love (never had your love)

rock, Wall of detuned guitars bathing into hazy shoegaze clouds; male vocals shift from ghostly falsetto to shredded roar. Slow-burn verses with chorus-soaked lead lines and distant pads, then choruses explode with double-tracked vocals and wide stereo fuzz. Drums move from tom-heavy, cavernous pulses to crashing, open cymbal barrages; bridge drops into reverb-drenched minimalism before a massive final chorus and feedback tail., art rock, dream pop, alternative metal, shoegaze
