[Instrumental Intro] [Haunting, ambient guitar delay fades into a heavy, slow-crushing down-tuned groove] [Verse 1] [Male Vocal - Gritty, low rhythmic delivery] Feathers scattered in the cold white porcelain basin Counting up the hours and the phantoms I'm facin' Black coffee going stagnant, freezing right in the cup Staring at the ceiling, waiting for the dark to lift up You trace a crooked line through the ghost of yesterday Like the past ever listened to a word you had to say Trapped inside the cycle of a narrative you spun Screaming at the shadows when the damage has been done [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal - Ethereal, clean, haunting echo] You whisper that you're fine as you stare down at the floor [Male Vocal - Raw, aggressive low growl] But every single word falls heavy like a hammer on the door [Male & Female Duet - Explosive, crushing unison] The pressure is a weight that we can no longer ignore! [Chorus] [Male Vocal - Visceral growling scream / Female Vocal - High soaring melody] Dark ravens! White wings! Both living in my chest! One pulls me to the ground, one won’t let me rest! Dark ravens! White wings! Fighting over everything! If I fall, if I rise, they’re the storm behind my eyes! [Verse 2] [Male Vocal - Heavy, aggressive rhythmic delivery] You wear that plastic grin like an armor made of glass Laughing loud at little things, just hoping it will pass Trying to outrun the static playing on the screen Hiding all the fractures in a hollow routine But I can see the cracks where the light begins to bleed Tiny silver lines showing everything you need All the heavy shadows you collected in the cold Trading out your mercy for the lies that you were told [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal - Ethereal, clean, haunting echo] You whisper that you're fine as you stare down at the floor [Male Vocal - Raw, aggressive low growl] But every single word falls heavy like a hammer on the door [Male & Female Duet - Explosive, crushing unison] The pressure is a weight that we can no longer ignore! [Bridge] [Guitars drop to a crushing, agonizingly slow halftime drone] [Male Vocal - Intensely emotional, deep gritty whisper] Are you terrified of the open sky, or just scared you’ll really fly? If you let the blackness win, do you disappear inside? [Female Vocal - Angelic, beautiful clean melody, drifting over the heavy distortion] Take my hand, don’t choose, we are damaged, we are bruised We are more than just the pieces that the world has abused [Male & Female Duet - Maximum emotional growling harmony] Your black and your bright make a strange kind of light! [Guitar Solo] [Slow, crying, screaming guitar solo full of heavy vibrato and sorrow] [Chorus] [Male Vocal - Visceral growling scream / Female Vocal - High soaring melody] Dark ravens! White wings! Both living in my chest! One pulls me to the ground, one won’t let me rest! Dark ravens! White wings! Fighting over everything! If I fall, if I rise, they’re the storm behind my eyes! [Outro] [Music fades into an airy, dark atmospheric synth pad with slow ringing guitar notes] [Female Vocal - Haunting, fading gentle whisper] Make a strange kind of light... [Male Vocal - Deep, final low growl] They're the storm behind my eyes. [End]
