Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ash in my coffee Dust on my tongue Four missed calls from my mother I let ’em all rung Same shirt three days Sink full of plates I stare at the ceiling Like it’s sealing my fate [Pre-Chorus] How did I dig this deep? I was just chasing a feeling Now every mirror I meet Shows someone I don’t believe in [Chorus] I hit the black sky basement Couldn’t fall any farther than this Face down on cold Cracked pavement Tasting rust Begging for a shift If there’s a way back I can’t see it But my heart keeps pounding its fist In this black sky basement Something still refuses to quit (oh-oh) [Verse 2] Friends send addresses To Thursday night shows I type “maybe” in the message Then stay home with my ghosts Bills like graffiti All over the floor I keep taping up my reasons On a splintered door [Pre-Chorus] How did I sink so slow? One small choice at a time Now every promise I broke Echoes louder than my alibis [Chorus] I hit the black sky basement Couldn’t fall any farther than this Face down on cold Cracked pavement Tasting rust Begging for a shift If there’s a way back I can’t see it But my heart keeps pounding its fist In this black sky basement Something still refuses to quit (yeah) [Bridge] I don’t want a halo I just want a hand Someone at the top of the staircase Who still understands So I crawl to the doorway On my bleeding knees If I can’t stand upright yet I can at least still reach (hey!) [Chorus] I hit the black sky basement Couldn’t fall any farther than this Face down on cold Cracked pavement Tasting rust Learning how to admit If there’s a way back I might feel it In the shake of my lungs as they lift From this black sky basement I’m not done I’m not done yet (oh-oh) From this black sky basement I’m not done I’m not done yet
Tags
rock, Indie rock, male vocals. Dry, close-mic verse vocal over tense, tom-heavy drums and a single overdriven baritone guitar. Pre-chorus widens with climbing bass and ghostly backing oohs. Chorus explodes into roomy kit, fuzz guitars in octaves, and a ragged gang vocal hook. Bridge drops to half-time with tremolo guitar swells, then final chorus hits harder with doubled lead and gritty saturation., indie rock
