Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You knock once On the side of my skull Say "You in there?" Like it’s some kind of joke Teeth clenched On the words I rehearsed Every silence Cutting deeper than your curse [Chorus] I’ve got glass in my throat Every time I try to say your name (say your name) You keep pulling at the thread And you swear you feel no blame So I choke on what I wrote All these letters that I’ll never send (never send) You keep carving out my home ’til there’s nothing left to defend [Verse 2] You pace lines In the groove of my floor Same argument Just a slightly sharper tone I play dead In the glow of your glare You say “talk to me” But you never really care [Chorus] I’ve got glass in my throat Every time I try to say your name (say your name) You keep pulling at the thread And you swear you feel no blame So I choke on what I wrote All these letters that I’ll never send (never send) You keep carving out my home ’til there’s nothing left to defend [Bridge] You ask why I never scream (but you’re the one that took my air) You ask why I never leave (when you’re the cage, you’re the stairs) If I finally break Would you even hear the sound Or just sweep up every piece of me So you don’t have to look down [Chorus] I’ve got glass in my throat Every time I try to say your name (say your name) You keep pulling at the thread Like you’ve never heard of shame So I choke on what I wrote All these letters that I’ll never send (never send) If I burn them at your door Would you call it “just a trend”?

Emotional post-hardcore, male vocals. Intro of chiming clean guitars and gritty bass, drums with uneasy off-kilter pushes. Verses are tense and breathy, vocal right up on the mic, bass snarling under the surface. Choruses explode into layered screams and ragged harmonies over overdriven guitars and bigger, crashing drums, then drop back to thin, affected cleans for impact on the last lines. Wide, reverb-kissed ambience on guitars; vocals stay raw, almost too loud, like the singer is in the room., emotional, male vocals, clean, post-hardcore
