Easier Said Than Done

[Verse 1]
I built a church
Inside my chest
Pews of pills
And unmade beds
I talk to air
Like it’s a friend
Mouth full of prayers
That never land
[Pre-Chorus]
Every silence feels like
You meant it
Every answer
Never sent it
[Chorus]
Easier said than done
To keep believing
When every word I spit
Just fog on the ceiling
If you’re up there
Why won’t you say something? (say something)
I’m on my knees again
And it feels like nothing
[Verse 2]
Cross on the wall
Turned to a crack
Framed confirmation
Facing the trash
I mouth old hymns
Til my jaw feels bruised
Choking on verses
I can’t use
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re love
Why am I shaking?
If you’re peace
Why am I breaking?
[Chorus]
Easier said than done
To keep on hoping
When every promise fades
Like steam from my breathing
If you’re out there
Why won’t you take something? (take something)
This weight on my chest again
I can’t stop heaving
[Bridge]
I carved your name
Into my skin
Just to feel
Something get in
[soft scream
Almost spoken]
Are you proud
Of what I’ve become?
All this faith
Tastes like blood on my tongue
[Final Chorus]
Easier said than done
To keep believing (keep believing)
When my throat is raw
From the way I’m pleading
If you’re listening
Why won’t you break open? (break open)
I’m tearing my lungs apart
For a God that stays unspoken
[Outro]
Hands in the air
Clutching nothing
I call your name
And I hear
My own voice
Cutting

Emotional post-hardcore with male vocals, shifting between raw screamed verses and strained melodic hooks. Guitars move from clean, chiming dissonance to thick, crashing chords; bass pushes a tight, restless low end. Drums swing from tense, syncopated patterns into wide open half-time crashes in the chorus. Bridge strips to fragile clean tones and near-whispered vocal before exploding into layered screams and a final, hollow ringout., post-hardcore, emotional
