[Verse 1]
{breathy, close mic} Twisted steel beams where the swing set was
Shattered phone screen shows a picture of us
{spoken} Tracing the cracks with a trembling thumb
Everything's over, everything's done
But the sunlight hits the glass on the ground
{slight vocal fry} A galaxy scattered without a sound

[Pre-Chorus]
{tempo picks up, syncopated drums enter}
And I should be mourning, I should fall apart
But there’s a strange, wild beating in my broken heart
The silence is a siren, the peace is a threat
This is the only real thing I have left

[Chorus]
{full band explodes, layered anthemic vocals}
Now the wreckage is beautiful! A glittering mess!
A monument built from my own carelessness!
And the quiet is dull, a deafening hum!
I'd rather have chaos than feel this numb!
{screams} I'd rather have nothing at all!

[Verse 2]
{instrumentation pulls back, intricate guitar tapping}
Remember the beige walls and the 9-to-5 drone?
The polite little smiles when you felt so alone?
We walked on a tightrope, so careful and clean
{voice breaks} The most boring disaster you’ve ever seen

[Pre-Chorus]
{drums build again, more aggressive}
And I should be sorry, I should feel the shame
But I see art in the shape of the flame
The silence is a sickness, the calm is a cage
I finally feel like I’m turning a page

[Bridge]
{ambient forest sounds, ethereal synth pads, whispered}
Did I burn it all down?
Just to feel something?
Did I need the crash?
Just to hear anything?
{building desperation} The ghost of your voice is a flat, boring line
But the shriek of the metal, I know that it's mine

[Instrumental Drop]
{Fast, complex math-rock tapping over a frantic Jungle DnB breakbeat, punctuated by heavy, detuned djent guitar chugs. A whirlwind of controlled chaos.}

[Chorus]
{shouted, raw, desperate}
THE WRECKAGE IS BEAUTIFUL! A GLITTERING MESS!
A MONUMENT BUILT FROM MY OWN CARELESSNESS!
{full screamo delivery} AND THE QUIET IS DULL, A DEAFENING HUM!
I'D RATHER HAVE CHAOS THAN FEEL THIS NUMB!

[Outro]
{sound of a single, distorted guitar note feeding back}
{rain sounds fade in}
{whisper} The quiet…
{static crackle}
…is so dull.
