[Verse 1 - fingerpicked acoustic guitar, intimate room ambience, soft cello drones, whispered lead vocal, fragile and reflective] I still remember breaking through the paper, your hands were careful, like you were opening something worth keeping. You smiled before I ever touched your tongue. I believed that was forever. You carried me through conversations, the walk home after midnight, the kind where silence meant we didn't have to prove anything. [Build - Additional acoustic guitar harmonics, brushed snare enters, tension rising, vocal barely above a whisper] The sweeter I tried to be... The less of me remained. [Chorus - full band erupts, crashing cymbals, distorted guitars layered beneath acoustic, soaring violin, raw emotional screams with gang-vocal support] You loved me while there was something left to taste! YOU CHEWED ME DOWN TO NOTHING! I stretched... I stretched until I tore apart! You loved me— while there was something left to taste! Tell me— [Band drops out completely except fingerpicked acoustic guitar and distant cello; exposed, cracked clean vocal. Brief breath of silence] Was I just another thing you threw away? [Half-second breath.] WITH NOTHING... [Full band crashes back with tremolo-picked guitars, soaring violin, crashing cymbals, layered screams, and a massive blackgaze wall of sound.] NOTHING LEFT TO TASTE... [Verse 2 - Return to fingerpicked acoustic with subtle clean electric swells, restrained drums, cracked clean vocal] I learned how to bend without making a sound. Made myself smaller. Softer. Easier to carry. Apologized before either of us knew whose fault it was. I just kept folding myself into shapes that fit inside your day. Until there wasn't enough left to call the dreamer. [Pre-Chorus - Steady tom pulse, tremolo-picked guitar emerging underneath, vocal growing more desperate] Every promise, stretched a little farther. Every tomorrow, felt closer to tearing. [Chorus - Full blackgaze-infused wall of sound, frantic drums, layered screams and clean harmonies] You loved me while there was something left to taste! YOU CHEWED ME DOWN TO NOTHING! I stretched... I stretched until I tore apart! You loved me— while there was something left to taste! Tell me— [Band drops out completely except fingerpicked acoustic guitar and distant cello; exposed, cracked clean vocal. Brief breath of silence] Was I just another thing you threw away? [Half-second breath.] WITH NOTHING... [Full band crashes back with tremolo-picked guitars, soaring violin, crashing cymbals, layered screams, and a massive blackgaze wall of sound.] NOTHING LEFT TO TASTE... [Bridge] [Tempo breathes, sparse piano joins, whispered spoken-word building into fractured screams, tremolo guitars swelling in the background] Maybe I became ordinary. Maybe this happens to everything that starts out sweet. Maybe it isn't the taste. Maybe neither of us has anything left to offer. [Final Chorus - Largest dynamic peak, acoustic still audible beneath massive blackgaze textures, relentless drums, layered screams, gang vocals, soaring strings] YOU LOVED ME WHILE THERE WAS SOMETHING LEFT TO TASTE! Something left to taste! Something left to taste! I stretched... I broke... I gave you every piece! YOU LOVED ME WHILE THERE WAS SOMETHING LEFT TO TASTE! Say it! Nobody. Nobody. Nobody keeps the gum after the flavor dies! [Outro - Everything collapses to lone fingerpicked acoustic guitar, faint cello, distant guitar feedback, exhausted clean vocal fading into silence] [End]
