What I Bury

funk, Dark groove metal at 100 BPM, downtuned bass driving the main riffs, guitars alternately palm-muted and wide open, Verses stay tense and minimal with tom-heavy drums, close-mic male vocals shifting between low murmurs and strained midrange grit, Choruses explode with layered distorted guitars, roomy snare, and powerful shouts, doubling the melodic hook, Occasional dissonant guitar slides and feedback in turnarounds; bridge pulls back to almost spoken delivery before a final full-band onslaught, vocal, dynamic, emotional, male vocals, moody, groove metal

[Intro] Teeth on the glass Breath on the mirror Name in the dust Shakes when I hear it [Verse 1] Every drag of the day Leaves ash in my chest I keep folding my rage Like clothes I never wear You say “You’re doing fine” I choke on the praise It tastes like metal Curdled and fake [Chorus] This is what I bury Deep in the crawlspace of my head All the things that scare me Wearing my face Sleeping in my bed I am not the story You keep telling just to feel okay This is what I bury Pray it never claws its way out of the grave [Verse 2] I trace the cracks Across my reflection Each line a road Back to the mess I made You want the “better man” You want a softer monster So I bite my own tongue Let the blood be your answer [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] I dig in the dark Hands raw Wrists shaking Every secret Every scar Still breathing Still waiting [whispered vocals] If I drag it to the light Will you stay Will you stay? [guttural shout] Or will you run from what I Am today [Chorus]
