[Instrumental Intro] (three slow death-bell tolls, long silence between each ring) (Death bell tolls) (Long pause) (Death bell tolls) (Long pause) (Death bell tolls) (Long pause) (wind, distant rain, vinyl crackle) (deep analog synth enters on a single sustained low note, ominous and unmoving) (droned heartbeat under the synth) (no vocals) [Intro] (layered male vocals, three tones stacked: whispered low, autotuned mid, distorted sub) No calendar left to open No contract written in light I keep a mouthful of midnight And call it living through the night (echoing whisper trail) Nothing after this hour Nothing that answers back [Verse 1] (deep distorted male lead, heavy autotune, low pitch) The clock still moves its hands But the face behind them is blank They sold me a sunrise In ink that never dried I signed across a morning That folded when I touched it Hallways of numbered hours End in plaster, not a door I keep a candle burning For a day that never asked Tomorrow is a rumor Traded among the nearly gone I swallow it like medicine And taste only the metal Dawn is a debt collector With no address and no name There is no promise waiting Only the weight of night [Hook] (cinematic, alluring, wide stereo, layered stacks, slight screamo edge on last line) Come closer to the edge of the clock Feel how the minute refuses to become We are the last warm thing in a cold machine And the machine does not love us back [Chorus] (entrancing, hypnotic, heavy 808 drop, phonk cowbell, reverb cathedral) No morrow No morrow given The future is a locked room And we are sleeping in the hall No morrow No morrow given I spent my last tomorrow On a night that would not fall [Verse 2] (grittier rasp, robotic doubles in the gaps, Memphis chops in the back) Streetlights blink like witnesses Too tired to remember names I count the rooms I rented Inside a body I outgrew Every plan I ever made Was a letter sent to fog The city hums a funeral In a key nobody chose My pulse is just percussion Keeping time for nothing new They told me hold on, hold on As if holding changed the weather I pressed my ear to morning Heard only the old rain Hope is a pretty burglar It leaves the windows open There is no promise waiting Only the debt of dark [Hook] (same hook, thicker distortion, whispered answer-vocals under the lead) Come closer to the edge of the clock Feel how the minute refuses to become We are the last warm thing in a cold machine And the machine does not love us back [Chorus] (full weight, sidechain pumping, screamo crack on "given") No morrow No morrow given The future is a locked room And we are sleeping in the hall No morrow No morrow given I spent my last tomorrow On a night that would not fall [Verse 3] (lower, almost spoken-sung, then rising rasp; industrial textures widen) I buried a small tomorrow Under the floor of my chest It never learned to breathe It never learned my name Mirrors keep offering faces That belong to earlier men I walk through my own house Like a guest who overstayed The bell inside the silence Knows more than I will say Every prayer I still remember Arrives already answered: no I loved the idea of later The way a drowning man loves air If there is a door past midnight It opens only inward There is no promise waiting The night does not negotiate [Bridge] (arrangement thins; three slow haunting death-bell rings return) (whispered stack, then a raw screamo fracture on the last couplet) Ring once for the hour that lied Ring twice for the mouth that believed Ring a third time for the body Still standing after the leave (bell sustain, heartbeat drone) I am not asking for morning I am asking the dark to be honest [Chorus] (final chorus: huge, then beginning to fray — glitch stutters on the last two lines) No morrow No morrow given The future is a locked room And we are sleeping in the hall No morrow No morrow given I spent my last tomorrow On a night that would not fall [Outro] (orchestrated collapse: drums desync, 808s melt, hats shred into static) (vocals fragment into robotic grains and distant whispers) (piano last, then gone) No... morrow... No... door... (Three final funeral bell, long decay) (Death bell tolls) (Long pause) (Death bell tolls) (Long pause) (Death bell tolls) (Long pause) (rain remains) (heartbeat stops) (silence)
