[Downtuned chugs]
[Glitch ambience]
[Distant breathing]

I still see your shape
Burned into the dark...

[Breakdown Verse]
[Heavy chugs]
[Screamed vocals]

Black stain on the ceiling
Neon in my veins
Your voice in the static
Calling out my name

Dead eyes in the mirror
Sleep with all the lights
Every time I close them
You come back alive

You cut through me
Like a holy ghost
Left your silhouette inside my skull

[Pre-Chorus]
[Half-time drums]
[Melodic clean vocals]

Now the room bends out of place
Your shadow stitched into my brain
I let you die a thousand times
But you survive behind my eyes

[Huge Cinematic Chorus]
[Massive melodic hook]
[Atmospheric synths]

You fade like an afterimage
But I still see you in the dark
A phantom pressed against my skin
A light that burned into my heart

You disappear
But the damage stays
Now every color looks the same
You left your ghost inside my veins
Afterimage

[Verse 2]
[Heavy rhythmic guitars]
[Alternating screams and cleans]

White noise and hallucinations
Cold sweat, fractured sleep
You move between the TV flickers
Like you never really leave

Your fingerprints on every memory
Blood underneath the paint
I tried to bury every piece
But the outline still remains

[Pre-Breakdown]
[Tension build]
[Layered vocals]

No pulse
No body
No heaven left to find
Just your face
Inside the static
Eating through my mind

[Breakdown]
[Violent downtempo]
[Crushing chugs]
[Harsh screams]

YOU LIVE
BEHIND MY EYES

A SHADOW
THAT NEVER DIES

I SCRUB THE WALLS
I PEEL MY SKIN
BUT YOU’RE STILL THERE
UNDERNEATH IT

[Ambient Bridge]
[Soft piano]
[Reverb drenched vocals]

Maybe I became
Everything I hated
A ghost trapped inside
The light you left behind

If I disappear
Will I stain somebody else?
Will they feel me
Long after I’m gone?

[Final Chorus]
[Bigger cinematic chorus]
[Double vocals]

You fade like an afterimage
But I still see you in the dark
A phantom pressed against my skin
A light that burned into my heart

You disappear
But the damage stays
Now every color looks the same
You left your ghost inside my veins

Afterimage...

[Outro]
[Slow breakdown fading into ambience]

Burned into the dark...
Still alive behind my eyes...
