Veins of Glass

[Verse 1 – Quiet, clean guitar, reverb-heavy] Tell me, Mother— How did my master break me? When love rots, What’s left to save? Green skies choke the sun, I sink into the dust. Despair stinks of death— It’s calling my name. --- [Pre-Chorus – Bass rumble, slow drum build] Blood on my hands, Syringe in my fist— You’ll find me Only when I’m gone. --- [Chorus – Full distortion, crash cymbals] Am I you? Am I you? Mothers of sinners— Who broke you, my master? --- [Verse 2 – Drop to clean guitar, bass up front] Heroin spreads like plague Through my veins of glass. The end is crawling closer— Not yet… not yet. The gates of hell wait Down this narrow alley. Don’t look back. Don’t look back. --- [Bridge – Whisper → Scream] (whisper) Big… big… BIG… I leave you here alone. (scream) Where’s my blood? Am I lost? Am I leaving? --- [Chorus – Louder, strained vocals, open chords] Give me back my childhood, My master— Make my peace eternal, Tie me to the gods of ignorance. --- [Outro – Slowed breakdown, bass & toms pounding] Don’t look back… Don’t look back… Don’t… look… back… (fade) ---
