[Intro] [Slow cinematic piano, gentle acoustic guitar strumming in a 6/8 sway] [Verse 1][ACCAPELLA] [Intimate clean male vocals] I count the cracks inside the glass Stuck in a mirror where shadows pass I poured out love until it burned Chasing a ghost, with nothing returned You talk of dates and nights in the dark I sit in the quiet, chasing a spark So I lock the door, I turn off the light And let the silence heal me tonight [Pre-Chorus] [Sweeping acoustic strings enter, swelling piano building tension] The walls are high, the cold sets in It hurts to freeze, it hurts to win The stars are fading from the view I'm pulling back, away from you [Chorus] [Organic drums enter, full cinematic production, soaring emotional male vocals] I have no need for your love! Let my heart stay black! It is my ultimate armor! There is no turning back! Let the world fade away! I am safer alone! [Verse 2] [Music softens back to acoustic guitar and piano, 6/8 rhythmic sway] [Intimate male vocals] They said being sober would clear the ground But the desert is empty with no one around I laid down my weapons, the warfare is done I’d rather have darkness than blindings of sun Keep all your promises, I’m out of reach Done with the lessons they all try to teach [Pre-Chorus] [Sweeping strings rise again, building momentum and warmth] The walls are high, the cold sets in It hurts to freeze, it hurts to win The stars are fading from the view I'm pulling back, away from you [Chorus] [Full cinematic orchestra and drums, powerful soaring vocals] I have no need for your love! Let my heart stay black! It is my ultimate armor! There is no turning back! Let the world fade away! I am safer alone! [Bridge] [Drums stop, beautiful solo piano and acoustic guitar, deeply emotional] If my grandmother watches from skies up above She knows what is buried beneath this lost love But the pain is still burning, and I have to hide The purity left in the shadows inside [Pre-Chorus] [Strings and piano swell to a massive cinematic crescendo, building to the final release] Let the walls rise, let the cold air set in It hurts less to freeze than to bleed out again Open the heart... let it rise... Under the weight of the open skies... [Chorus] [Maximum emotional climax, full layered production, passionate soaring delivery][accapella Chorus ] I have no need for your love! Let my heart stay black! It is my ultimate armor! There is no turning back! Let the world fade away! I am safer alone! [Outro] [Drums and strings fade out, leaving only a gentle piano and guitar] [Soft, intimate whispering vocal] Let my heart stay black... Where my power grows. Where the story closes. Just leave it... black. [End on a lingering piano chord]
