What You Left in Me

CUSTOM

[Intro | filtered guitar loop | electronic pulse | 4 bars] [Verse 1 | tense melodic male vocal | clipped phrasing | tightly muted guitars] You made a threat out of silence Made a fist out of every word Now I brace before the impact Even when it never comes I learned to swallow every answer Keep my hands where you could see You left without a warning But the warning stayed with me [Build 1 | drums opening | chest voice rising | mounting distortion] The door shuts My shoulders rise You’re not there My body lies [Chorus | forceful melodic belt | full distorted guitars | open vocal sustain] I still move like you’re here My body brings you back to life I still move like you’re here I hate what you left in me [Instrumental Break | central riff mutation | turntable cuts | 4 bars] [Verse 2 | sharper attack | driving breakbeat | restrained aggression] I push away the ones who stay I strike before they can I turn concern into a threat Then watch them pull away I hear your temper in my answers See your damage cross their face Every time I make them smaller I become what I escaped [Build 2 | distorted vocal double | stop-start guitars | tension accelerating] I leave before— (they leave you) I strike before— (they strike you) That voice is yours Coming out of me [Chorus | strained upper register | heavier vocal doubles | widened distortion] I still move like you’re here My body brings you back to life I still move like you’re here I hate what you left in me [Breakdown | half-time drums | bass and fractured guitar | vocal distortion rising] You taught my hands to close My jaw to lock My breath to stop Before the shock You made me see your anger In everybody’s face I know where this came from I know what bears your shape [Build | instruments cutting out | exposed high chest voice | breaking restraint] You don’t get to leave And still speak through me [Drop | full-band impact | sustained upper-register scream] I HATE WHAT YOU LEFT IN ME— [Final Chorus | maximum intensity | melodic scream | collapsing vocal doubles] I still move like you’re here My body brings you back to life I still move like you’re here I hate what you left in me [Outro | guitars removed | drums and electronic pulse continue | exhausted clean vocal] I still move like you’re here But you don’t get the rest of me [Power Stop]
