Coffin-Sized Heart

Verse 1 [Energetic male teen lead with bubbly female group backups, huge handclaps, bouncy bass and tambourine shake] Got this wildfire burning up inside my chest But I’m stuck in velvet where I can’t even stretch Every little text sets the whole thing ablaze Yet the space I’m in won’t even give me space Pre-Chorus [Rising whoa-oh group shouts, building tension with spooky whoops and rising organ] Hope keeps growing bigger every single night But the walls keep laughing like it’s all alright Smile through my fangs while the pressure starts to climb This should feel like heaven but it’s running out of time Chorus [Explosive sing-along hook, full gang vocals, monster-march beat with cheeky howls] My heart’s too big for this coffin-sized love Pounding like thunder from the ceiling above Bursting at the edges, nowhere left to grow Trapped in something pretty that I can’t outgrow Oh-oh it’s sweet but it’s tight Oh-oh every single night Verse 2 [Same peppy energy, female backups tighter and cheekier] Fangs are aching for a feeling wild and free But I’m folded neatly in this perfect little “we” Every whispered maybe makes the hunger roar Still I’m cozy smiling while I’m begging for more Pre-Chorus [Even bigger whoa-ohs, extra spooky laughs layered in] Hope keeps growing bigger every single night But the walls keep laughing like it’s all alright Smile through my fangs while the pressure starts to climb This should feel like heaven but it’s running out of time Chorus [Full band swell, harmonies thicker, crowd-cheer feel] My heart’s too big for this coffin-sized love Pounding like thunder from the ceiling above Bursting at the edges, nowhere left to grow Trapped in something pretty that I can’t outgrow Oh-oh it’s sweet but it’s tight Oh-oh every single night Bridge [Stripped back to just claps and distant coffin-creak SFX, vocal almost whispered then bursts] I just need room to let this feeling breathe Not this velvet picture that I can’t leave Chorus variation [Big final lift, extra howls and handclaps, harmonies richer] My heart’s too big… for this coffin-sized love Pounding like thunder from the ceiling above Oh-oh it’s sweet but it’s tight Oh-oh… every single night
