The Descent of Blue Glass (Iris Vale Remix)

gothic post-hardcore, post-hardcore, dark rock

[Quiet Vocal Opening]
[soft room tone]
[clean guitar low under the voice]
[vocal close to the mic]

Before the dark gets louder
Before the floor gives way
I hear the glass above me
Trying not to break

A little light comes through it
Soft enough to bruise
The glass blooms open slowly
And everything turns blue

[Instrumental Opening]
[clean guitars widen]
[slow drums enter]
[low bass pulse underneath]

[Verse 1]
Breaking down in silence
Everything feels timeless
Been going down this hole for weeks
I've got scratches on my chin and cheeks

Don't know how much further down
I miss the old days back in town
No one ever cared that much
But my path forward fucking sucks

[Pre-Chorus]
I chose this path
I must follow it down

[Chorus]
Deep into the descent of darkness
The shadows cut with razor-like sharpness
I've always lived my life alone
I'd really like to find my home

[Post-Chorus]
[soft Iris lift]
Down where the blue light barely follows
Down where the air feels thin and hollow
If I'm still breathing through the stone
Maybe I'm not alone

[Instrumental Interlude]
[guitars grow heavier]
[drums open wider]
[icy static under the chords]

[Verse 2]
With no light or hope for months
The darkness binds me like handcuffs
I'm fading out, I'm losing oxygen
Haven't been taking my medicine

I keep my name behind my teeth
So it does not sink underneath

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I always seem to find a new low
No matter which path I choose to go

[Chorus]
Deep into the descent of darkness
The shadows cut with razor-like sharpness
I've always lived my life alone
I'd really like to find my home

The vicious cycle never ends
As my reality starts to bend
I no longer need my harness
Deep into the descent of darkness

[Bridge]
[beat pulls back]
[vocal close, fragile, breath-forward]

I don't feel any fear
As the end comes near
I'll keep going down, down, down
As deep as I can go

But if the dark keeps pulling
I will answer with my name
If there's no door below me
I'll make one out of pain

[Lead In]
[whispered, then rising]

The light through glass blooms blue
The light through glass blooms blue
The light through glass blooms blue
And I am still here

[Final Chorus]
[controlled high velvet scream lift on key lines]
[guitars heavy but vocals stay upfront]

Deep into the descent of darkness
The shadows cut with razor-like sharpness
I've always lived my life alone
I'd really like to find my home

The vicious cycle never ends
But I can feel the blue light bend
I no longer need my harness
I can breathe inside the darkness

[Outro]
[soft exhausted vocal]
[guitars fade into clean blue static]

Down, down, down
But I did not disappear

Down, down, down
I am still here

[End]
