Right through me (not even there)
[Intro - distorted drop-tuned guitar riff, electronic texture, rapid drums building] I stood beside you through the silence Never asking for your hand I gave you pieces of myself You barely seemed to understand [Verse 1 - low melodic male vocals, heavy palm-muted guitars] I watched you turn toward everyone While I was standing in your reach Every word I tried to give you Fell somewhere underneath I kept making room for you While you kept moving me aside I told myself that you were hurting So I swallowed mine [Pre-Chorus - guitars building, drums intensifying, vocals becoming strained] How many times can I disappear Before you finally see me here? [Chorus - soaring strained vocals, heavy guitars, layered harmonies] You looked right through me Like I was never there I gave you everything I had And you gave me empty air You pushed me to the outside Then wondered why I walked away I cared enough to stay beside you You never cared enough to make me stay [Verse 2 - aggressive melodic vocals, driving riffs] I wasn't asking to be everything I only wanted to mean something But every time I reached for you You found another place to run You made me feel like an interruption Like my presence was a weight So I learned to stop expecting Anything you wouldn't give away [Pre-Chorus - escalating vocals, heavier guitars] How many times did I bite my tongue Pretending I wasn't coming undone? [Chorus - full strained shout/scream, layered backing vocals] You looked right through me Like I was never there I gave you everything I had And you gave me empty air You pushed me to the outside Then wondered why I walked away I cared enough to stay beside you You never cared enough to make me stay [Breakdown - huge half-time riff, crushing guitars, double-kick and tom emphasis, screamed vocals] I WAS THERE! YOU LOOKED AWAY! I REACHED FOR YOU! YOU PUSHED ME AWAY! I GAVE YOU MY HEART AND YOU GAVE ME A PLACE BEHIND EVERYONE YOU ACTUALLY WANTED TO FACE! [Brief instrumental stop] Don't tell me you never knew. [Bridge - stripped-back guitar, tense spoken vocals building into screams] Maybe I was foolish For believing I belonged Maybe I kept holding on To something already gone But I won't keep begging For a place inside your life If you wanted me beside you You would've made me feel alive [Final Chorus - full-band explosion, soaring strained vocals, gang vocals and melodic harmonies] You looked right through me Like I was never there I gave you everything I had And you gave me empty air You pushed me to the outside Now I'm finally walking away I cared enough to stay beside you But I won't disappear just to make you stay [Outro - aggressive guitar riff, pounding drums, screamed final line] I was there. You looked away. I cared. You pushed me away.
