Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Empty bottle on the nightstand Her picture folded in my fist Counting scars like they’re a prayer bead chain Thinking How did it come to this Traffic howling through the window Heartbeat trying to keep time Every breath feels like borrowed change On the wrong side of the line [Chorus] Through death I find life At the edge of the night I’m shaking Staring down the end But your name keeps my hands from breaking If this is goodbye Then I’ll bleed every truth I’ve been hiding Through death I find life Loving you to the end Still fighting [Verse 2] Cold steel ghost in the drawer now Whispers louder than the room All the ways I tried to disappear Painted in that silent gloom But I see you in the doorway Eyes red Begging me to stay Your “please don’t go” cuts deeper Than anything aimed my way [Chorus] Through death I find life At the edge of the night I’m shaking Staring down the end But your name keeps my hands from breaking If this is goodbye Then I’ll bleed every truth I’ve been hiding Through death I find life Loving you to the end Still fighting [Bridge] Maybe I was trying to kill the pain Maybe I was aiming at the shame But you touched the barrel of my blame Said “Live enough to change your name” (oh) [Chorus] Through death I find life At the edge of the night I’m shaking Staring down the end But your love keeps my heart from fading If this is goodbye Let it be to the person who’s dying Through death I find life Loving you to the end Still fighting Still fighting (yeah)

Dark cinematic rock ballad with male vocals; clean guitar arpeggios and distant piano in the verses, building into a heavy, crashing chorus with distorted power chords and tom fills. Sub-bass swells and low strings underline the tension, while the vocal sits raw and upfront, using doubled harmonies on key hook lines. Final chorus strips back instruments, then explodes once more for a cathartic, reverb-soaked ending.
