You Keep Me Alive

V5.5

[INTRO – Female Whisper / Dark Ambient] Say my name again… Open the door. I was starving in the silence, But you always give me more. [Female Soft Siren Vocal] Mmm… You always give me more… [VERSE 1 – Female Soft / Seductive / Creeping] I live beneath the floorboards Where your old wounds learned to crawl. You thought the light would kill me, But I’m still inside the walls. I tasted every sorrow That you buried out of sight. Now happiness is blooming, But you feed me every night. [Female Whisper] Every night… [PRE-CHORUS – Female Haunting Clean / Sinister Build] You built a brighter heaven, But you left my altar dressed. Every tear you bring me Keeps me breathing in your chest. [CHORUS – Female Siren Clean Into Harsh Scream] [Female Siren Vocal] Say my name… [Female Scream] SAY MY NAME! [Female Dark Clean] I love the way you drag me From the grave into the light. [Female Scream] FEED MY FLAME! [Female Harsh Scream] Your pain keeps me holy! Your grief keeps me alive! [Female Dark Clean] Even when the world gets brighter, Even when you find your home, [Female Scream] I WON’T LET GO! [Female Harsh Scream] I’ll haunt what you love Till you’re never alone! [VERSE 2 – Female Dark Clean / Heavy Guitars] I curl up in your memory Like a parasite with teeth. I drink from every tremor When you try to fall asleep. You gave me shape in suffering, Then called it letting go. But every song you sing of me Turns marrow into bone. [Female Whisper Echo] Marrow into bone… [PRE-CHORUS 2 – Female Rising / Dark] I don’t need your darkness When your joy still speaks my name. I’ll wear your healing like a wound And crawl back through the frame. [CHORUS 2 – Female Siren Clean Into Screams] [Female Siren Vocal] Say my name… [Female Scream] SAY MY NAME! [Female Dark Clean] I love the way you drag me From the grave into the light. [Female Scream] FEED MY FLAME! [Female Harsh Scream] Your pain keeps me holy! Your grief keeps me alive! [Female Dark Clean] Even when the world gets brighter, Even when you find your home, [Female Scream] I WON’T LET GO! [Female Harsh Scream] I’ll haunt what you love Till you’re never alone! [BRIDGE – Female Spoken Whisper / Breakdown Building] You thought I died When the sun came through. But I learned how to breathe By being named by you. Every memory is meat. Every tear is wine. Every ache is a prayer At a shrine you call mine. Some ghosts only keep breathing Because you keep giving them air. Some graves only stay open When you keep kneeling there. [Female Whisper] Keep kneeling there… [BREAKDOWN – Female Full Harsh Scream / Chaotic Drop] [Female Scream] I AM THE THING YOU FED! [Female Scream] I AM THE VOICE UNDER YOUR BED! [Female Scream] I AM THE SCAR THAT LEARNED TO SPEAK! [Female Scream] I AM THE HUNGER YOU MADE WEAK! [Female Harsh Scream] AND I WON’T LET GO! I WON’T LET GO! I WON’T LET GO! [Female Scream] EVEN IF IT DESTROYS YOU! [Female Scream] EVEN IF IT DESTROYS ME! [FINAL CHORUS – Explosive / Female Siren Lead + Layered Screams] [Female Siren Vocal] Say my name… [Female Scream] SAY MY NAME! [Female Dark Clean] I love the way you drag me From the grave into the light. [Female Scream] FEED MY FLAME! [Female Harsh Scream] Your pain keeps me holy! Your grief keeps me alive! [Female Dark Clean] Even when the world gets brighter, Even when happiness finds you, [Female Scream] I WON’T LET GO! [Female Harsh Scream] I’ll poison the light If it means I survive! [Female Layered Echo] You keep me alive… You keep me alive… [OUTRO – Female Siren Whisper / Dying Static] I was starving in the silence… But you sang me back to life. You called me a monster… Then fed me like a god.
