And then I was alone

[Start] [Intro – Hollow Guitar, Low Ambient Swell] [Verse 1 – Baritone Voice, Resigned Rhythm] The clock just ticks through skin and bone The laughter left, and warmth was thrown I held my breath, the light had flown And then I was alone. (And then I was alone.) [Verse 2 – Grim, Sparse Arrangement] The bed still holds your ghosted tone An outline pressed in brittle stone I speak your name to dead air blown And then I was alone. (And then I was alone.) [Verse 3 – Haunting Delivery, Slow Fade] You took your scent from every zone The rooms exhale a colder tone The house now hums a monotone And then I was alone. (And then I was alone.) [Verse 4 – Flat Affect, Measured Pacing] I speak aloud in fractured groan To furniture that’s overthrown Each silence sings in undertone And then I was alone. (And then I was alone) [Verse 5 – Low Register, Lingering Decay] The mirror holds a face half-shown A hollowed gaze where time has grown Each day, the cracks are more well-known And then I was alone. (And then I was alone.) [Acoustic Solo – Rhythmic Acoustic Guitar Crescendo, Layered Dissonance] [Verse 6 – Slower Tempo, Bitter Introspection] I water dust where love had grown Its petals dried to brittle cone The soil forgets the seeds it’s sown And then I was alone. (And then I was alone.) [Verse 7 – Final Verse, Fragile Cadence] Your coat still hangs, the scent is gone But grief still wears it like a loan I sleep beside it like a stone And then I was alone. (And then I was alone.) [Outro – Faint Guitar Harmonics, Low Fade] (And then I was alone.) Forever. [End]
