[Intro — ambient synth pad rising, filtered vocal hum] Between the veils, I sense your breath entwined. Murmurs on the threshold of luminescence and gloom. You claim to see me — yet glimpse only chosen echoes. ⸻ [Verse 1 — tight guitars and low drum pulse] I keep my specters in the alcoves, veiled by sigils and muted vows. You call me amassed — but in the dark, I unravel at every margin. I perceive your tread near the brink, yet I am chilled beyond ever before. I provide you with the adorned visage — never the fragments beneath. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — synth builds quietly under vocals] You desire the verity — but I am fragmented between. I am learning to cherish the facets hidden from sight. ⸻ [Chorus — heavy rhythm guitars enter, bass thick and warm] Between the shades, I’m slipping through your hands. You say you know me — but you don’t understand. Every scar, every line, every silent scream inside, Keep me close — or watch me fade into everything you can’t abide. ⸻ [Verse 2 — percussion sharpens, guitars add grit] Beneath the dermis, the fissures widen. Regret lingers on every fractured oath. You clad in luminescence, I in scars, we waltzed on the precipice of what’s ours. I obscure the chasms you seek, not from aversion — but the lines remain veiled. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — vocal layering builds tension] You crave the verity — but the verity’s a conflict within. I strive to uphold the shards as I bleed. ⸻ [Chorus — larger, soaring vocal harmonies] Between the shades, I’m slipping through your hands. You say you know me — but you can’t understand. Every scar, every line, every silent scream inside, Keep me close — or watch me bleed into the light you can’t abide. ⸻ [Bridge — stripped back to ambient synth + soft snare roll] All the nights I’ve watched the darkness grow, I wrote you songs inside my head, hoping you’d see the cracks. Now I scream them to the skies — do you ever hear me? [Music explodes back in with distorted guitars and scream layers rising in intensity] [Screamed section:] Can you see what’s left of me? This is all that I can be! I’m still here — I’m still alive — but I’m losing to the other side! ⸻ [Final Chorus — full wall of sound, guitars layered, electronic pulse under drum kit] Between the shades, I fall into your hands. You think you know me — but I’m more than what you planned. Every scar, every lie, every scream that hides inside, Hold me close — or watch me become the place you said you’d never find. ⸻ [Outro — fading guitars, echoing vocal tail] Between the veils, I dissolve subtly. You profess love — but are you aware of the fractured elements I conceal?
