Talking On The Outside by Lyricalamities

[Intro – chorus guitar, ambient echo, mid-tempo drums, melodic bass, lo-fi mix]

[Verse 1 – jangly clean guitars, soft vocal delivery, post-punk rhythm, melodic bass]
I press my hands against the stone
Whispers settle in my bones
It's not for me, hold onto hope
That it might be, that it might be
...
The air is thin, the lights go black
Scream for help, and start to crack
The whispers say they found a door
It fades away, it fades away

[Pre-chorus build up]
Can you hear me?
Can you...?

[Chorus 1 – layered guitar lines, snare-forward drums, distant vocal tone, analog reverb]
They're talking on the outside
But no one says my name
They're talking on the outside
Their syllables decay
I fought to make a doorway
But it only made a cage
They're talking on the outside
And my cell shrinks every day

[Verse 2 – slightly more intense vocals, anxious rhythm guitar, shimmering chorus effect]
I hate myself, they're just the worst
Can't kill myself, if I kill him first
The whispers tell me, that I'm okay
Or so they say, or so they say

[Pre-chorus build up]
Can you hear me?
Can you...?

[Chorus 2 – dreamy guitar textures, emotional delivery, subtle background harmonies]
They're talking on the outside
But not one voice is mine
They're talking on the outside
Wanna feel the sunshine
Each effort earns me silence
Each prayer just seals the stone
They're talking on the outside
While I wither all alone

[Bridge – echo delay vocals, pulsing bassline, hazy guitars, melancholic tone]
Can you hear me?
I can hear you through the wall
Can you hear me?
Maybe I'm crazy after all
Can you hear me?
I'm trapped within my skin
Can you hear me?
Where do the walls end, and I begin?
Tell me...
Where do the walls end, and I begin?

[Pre-chorus build up]
Can you hear me?
Can you...?

[Chorus 3 – vocal swell, guitar layering builds, final emotional peak]
They're talking on the outside
I scream inside myself
They're talking on the outside
Declining mental health
Tried talking on the outside
But they echo back as blame
They're talking on the outside
Maybe I can fade away
[Echo fade vocals]
(Fade away...)
(Fade away...)
(Fade away...)
(Fade away...)
(Fade away...)

[Outro – chorus guitar fade, soft bass resolution, lingering delay]
