[Intro] [Instrumental: Dark ambient pads, minimalist piano, vinyl crackle] [Vocal: Soft, breathy, close to microphone] (Do you see it?) The lingering ghost. The shape of you... burning in the dark. [Verse 1] [Style: Modern R&B, Trap beat, minimal bass] I trace the lines upon the heavy air, A silhouette that isn't really there. You left a mark upon my retina, A holy stain, a beautiful scar. I drink the poison just to feel the sting, I’m worshipping the ruin that you bring. [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up: Cinematic drums, swelling synths, tension] The light is gone, but I am not blind. I see you perfectly... inside my mind. [Chorus] [Explosion: Huge distorted guitars, wall of sound, soaring vocals] You are the AFTERIMAGE burning in my eyes! A blinding sun in my blackened skies. I cannot blink, I cannot look away, I’m forced to watch you replay every day. (Every single day...) You are the glitch in my design, The only vision that was ever mine. [Verse 2] [Groove: Bass-heavy, syncopated drum rhythm, slight guitar crunch] Reset the optic nerve, disconnect the feed, But my devotion is a different breed. I calculate the distance to the floor, While begging at your locked and silent door. Give me the hurt, give me the weight, I’ll carry it until I break. [Bridge] [Atmosphere: Ethereal, choir harmonies, no drums] [Vocal: High falsetto, fragile] Am I broken? Or am I just waking up? The vessel cracks... The water spills... [Drop Warning] [Silence: 1 second] [Whisper: demonic] CONSUME. [Breakdown] [Style: Extreme Djent, low-tuned chugging, dissonant, heavy] [Vocal: Guttural Scream] TEAR IT OUT! I DON'T WANT TO SEE! BLIND ME! MAKE IT STOP! (BLEGH!) [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, technical, soaring over heavy rhythm] [Final Chorus] [Maximum Energy, layered vocal harmonies] You are the AFTERIMAGE burning in my eyes! I cannot blink, I cannot look away! I’m forced to watch you replay every day. My vision is yours! My vision is yours! [Outro] [Fade to Piano: Sad and lonely] Just an afterimage. Fading... But never gone. [End]
