⸻

[0:45 — VERSE 1 | Quiet Fury / Low Growl with Clean Echo]
You tore through everything we were,
Left the pieces where our kids could see.
Now you want comfort from the wreck you made,
But I’ve got nothing left for you to take.
You burned the trust, you killed the calm,
You let the sickness pull you on.
I used to dream you’d find your way —
Now I just pray you stay the hell away.

⸻

[1:20 — PRE-CHORUS | Spoken / Grit-Fry Scream Blend]
You sound so small when you call,
Like you finally feel what you made me feel.
But I buried my pity years ago.
You built your hell — live in it alone.

(Guitar stab → silence → drop hit)

⸻

[1:40 — CHORUS | Full Scream / Massive Drum Hit]
I’m just waiting for the collapse
For the next relapse, for the crash
For your name to light my phone again
Dragging the same old shame back in
I’m waiting for our kids to break
To see the truth they didn’t make
For the sound of their hearts giving out
While you chase your next blackout

⸻

[2:20 — VERSE 2 | Bitter Calm / Spoken Clean + Growl Layer]
You lost him to the same slow death
And I didn’t flinch — not once.
I’m sorry he’s gone, but I don’t care.
You chose this grave — dig it deeper.
You had mercy staring you in the face,
But you spat it out, then begged for grace.
Now I stand in the ruins, cold and still,
Waiting for your next pill.

⸻

[2:55 — BREAKDOWN (Part I) | Slow / Dragged Tempo / Dry Guitars]
I can hear the sirens before they start,
Feel the tremor in my kids’ hearts.
They don’t ask “why” anymore —
They already know what you’re running for.
You were supposed to be their light,
Now you’re just what haunts their nights.

⸻

[3:25 — HEAVY BREAKDOWN (Part II) | Drop Tuning / Screamed Vocals / Chaos]
“FALL BACK INTO YOUR VOID!”
You never cared who you destroyed!
Every lie, every hit, every broken vow —
It’s all catching up to you now!
Don’t call me when the pain comes back,
Don’t beg for what you’ll only crack.
You want redemption? You had your shot.
Now you’re just proof that love rots.

(Chug riff — slow decay — short silence)

⸻

[4:00 — CHORUS REPRISE | Slower Tempo / Anguished Fry Scream]
I’m just waiting for the collapse
For the relapse, for the crash
For the voice I don’t want to hear
To spill more poison in my ear
I’m waiting for the silence to speak
For the kids to ask why you’re weak
For the truth to finally sink in
You can’t come back from what you did

⸻

[4:50 — OUTRO | Clean / Whisper / Minimal Bassline]
You betrayed me.
You betrayed us.
And still I wait…
For the day they stop hurting for you.
For the day I stop answering.
For the day you finally disappear.

(fading static, one deep bass thud — end)

[0:00 — INTRO | Clean Vocal / Low Reverb | Minimal Instrumentation] You betrayed me. You betrayed us. And every time your life burns down, You crawl back like nothing happened. You say I’m all you have — But when you had me, I was never enough.
