Erosion

A genre-blending journey fusing djent grooves, atmospheric post-metal, and progressive shifts with indie pop melodies, trap hi-hats, and jazz-inflected chords, Ethereal synths and ambient textures build space around intricate guitar layers, Emotional, breathy, and dynamic vocals effortlessly blend head and chest voice, topping expressive baritone and soulful falsetto phrases with lush vibrato and legato lines, achieving an intimate, haunting, and intensely raw sound

[Pre-Chorus]
Read. Ignored. Abandoned.
Your silence is a sermon
I am the architect of bridges to your void
While you watch me burn from the other side
[Chorus]
I am drowning in the effort of being less
A slow erasure, a holy emptiness
You need me smaller, need me gone
But I'm the ghost in my own song
I cannot unmake myself for you
Even as I'm split in two

[Verse 2]
You vanish like breath on glass, no warning, no trace
Return as if absence needs no apology, no grace
"Your nature unsettles me," you confess without shame
Then why do you stay to watch me disintegrate?

[Verse 3]
I beg for recognition of this open wound
Just acknowledgment, just "I hurt you too"
But you offer only "This is who I am, what more?"
"It's exhausting, you know—you ask for too much, you're unsure"

[Pre-Chorus]
I reach through the dark with trembling hands
You turn away to distant lands
I have contorted into a thousand deaths
While you call my needs "complicated," call me "excess"

[Chorus]
I am drowning in the effort of being less
A slow erasure, a holy emptiness
You need me smaller, need me gone
But I'm the ghost in my own song
I cannot unmake myself for you
Even as I'm split in two

[Bridge]
I am grieving and I need you to witness it
But my sadness is an inconvenience you won't permit
"I am what I am, accept or leave"
While I fold myself so small I can barely breathe
This sorrow isn't for what we were
It's for the self I murdered
The altar of you I've been kneeling at
While you never once knelt back

[Breakdown]
(I have given you my vertebrae, one by one)
(Rebuilt myself in your image)
(And still)
(Still, I am too much)

[Final Chorus]
I will not drown in the effort anymore
Will not make myself less than I was before
You wanted me smaller, wanted me gone
Now watch me resurrect in this song
My needs are not violence, they are truth
And I am done sacrificing myself for you

[Outro]
You are who you are—I accept this now
And I am who I am—watch me remember how
Without you feeding on my light
I will burn catastrophic and bright
(Finally with me)
(Whole, finally with me)

[Verse 1] I have carved myself into shapes that don't exist Folded my bones into your architecture of absence You say my presence is a violence you can't withstand So I bleed myself quiet, dissolve at your command [Pre-Chorus] Read.
