[Instrumental Intro] [soft fingerpicked acoustic] [Verse 1] [whispered, close-mic vocals] She stared at me like I'd ruined her days No cradle, no comfort, just cold sideways gaze Her contempt was the air that I learned to breathe Left scars underneath what no one could see [Verse 2] [arpeggios creeping in, vocals tense] I can't recall laughter that came from my chest No tears left to fall when I'm put to the test Love's something I read in a book long ago Skin against skin only sharpens the blow [Chorus] [vocals cracking, rising to raw shout] There's nothing inside me, just cavity rot I fake every feeling you wish I still got Fury lies dormant, a snake in my ribs Too tired to bite, too numb for the hiss (I'm dead, I'm dead) [Verse 3] [guitars layering darker riffs, light hand drums] She proved that the devil can live in your home Wearing your blood and your voice and your tone I swallowed her poison, it settled like lead Now it speaks in my head when I lie in my bed [Bridge] [screamed vocals, guitars swelling] I want to tear open this cage made of lack Bleed something real, take the childhood back But even the knife feels like fog on my skin Stuck in this loop where the losing begins (Rip it out, rip it out) [Chorus] [full scream over brooding guitars] There's nothing inside me, just cavity rot I fake every feeling you wish I still got Fury lies dormant, a snake in my ribs Too tired to bite, too numb for the hiss (I'm dead, forever dead) [Outro] [whispered, fading guitars] No warmth in my hands, no fire in my veins Just unpaid revenge and these permanent chains [Acoustic solo] [End]
