Song By Blackthorn Riot Born From Midnight Chaos And Emotions By Ronan McCalmont & Rikki Morningstar [Intro] [Violins trembling beneath static] 🎻 [Breathing close to the microphone] I still hear the hallway buzzing Even when nobody’s there anymore [Verse 1] Woke up on the motel floor again TV light bleeding across my skin There’s a crack running through the mirror now Like the room got sick of me somehow Cold coffee dying beside the bed Smoke drifting slow above my head Outside the city drags itself awake Like everybody’s learning how to break [Sharp violin stab] 🎻 I keep biting through my own thoughts Until they taste like blood and metal [Pre-Chorus] Everybody says “Just breathe through it” But nobody warns you How loud the silence gets afterward [Violins swelling emotionally] 🎻🎻 [Chorus] Glass teeth grinding in my sleep Heavy noise underneath me Every nerve stretched thin like wires Every room still feels on fire [Violins colliding through distorted guitars] 🎻⚡🎻 I don’t wanna disappear slowly I don’t wanna fade this quietly But this city keeps taking pieces of me whole And I can feel it deep in my bones [Verse 2] Candy scattered through rain and cigarette air A siren screamed past the overpass Then disappeared into the dark too fast [Fast emotional violin strikes] 🎻 I sat alone inside the stairwell Trying hard not to call anybody Because every conversation lately Feels like apologizing for existing Fluorescent lights flickered overhead Like they were exhausted too [Pre-Chorus] I think exhaustion changes people Makes their voices softer Makes their eyes look far away Like part of them already left [Violins rising emotionally] 🎻🎻 [Chorus] Glass teeth grinding in my sleep Trying not to shatter completely Every heartbeat sounds distorted Every memory feels corrosive [Violin crashing violently into the chorus] 🎻🔥⚡ I don’t wanna disappear slowly Inside these washed-out mornings Still searching through all this static noise For something that still feels human [Bridge] [Deep emotional violin weeping quietly] 🎻 Near sunrise The rain finally slowed I watched pale light crawl across the floor And realized I couldn’t remember the last time I actually felt rested [Whispered backing vocal] “Felt rested…” [Final Chorus] [Violin becoming cinematic and chaotic] 🎻🎻🎻 Glass teeth grinding in my sleep Still alive underneath the damage Still dragging this tired body forward Through another bleeding morning [Violin soaring above distorted guitars] 🎻⚡🔥 I don’t wanna disappear slowly I still feel something beneath the numbness And even now Some small part of me Still refuses to shut down [Outro - One final mournful violin note, Distorted guitars fading into static]
