“Emotional Corpse” [Verse 1] I smile politely while my heart splits in two, Hold the door open like I’m over you. Tears fall quiet, I don’t make a sound, Smile while the tears just fall to the ground. Call you a friend while I’m losing my breath, Forgetting to breathe in this living death. You’re laughing light in a room I avoid, And I’m just standing there—half-destroyed. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I’m a corpse of emotion, stitched in the dark, Numbness taped to my lonely heart. A melancholic junkie, just playing a part, Haven’t seen the sun—just falling apart. ⸻ [Chorus] Tell me, was I ever the one? Or just someone you held till you found someone? You let me go like I was nothing at all, Now I’m the ghost in your empty calls. Black moon eyes, I don’t see the sun, Just Jack and cigarettes on my tongue. If this is love, then what have you done? Tell me—was I ever the one? (background / distant, haunting) emotional corpse, corpse, corpse… emotional corpse of us… ⸻ [Verse 2] She’s happy now, yeah, I heard the news, Wears your smile like it’s bulletproof. You moved on like it’s easy to lose, While I’m stuck with nothing but you. The sun on your blonde hair used to feel like home, Now I heard you dyed it brown—I wouldn’t know. I don’t miss the sun or our glory days, Just the way you said my name like it would stay. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And the tears keep falling and falling for you, Oh, how I wish you knew what you do. This hurts in ways I can’t get through— Like loving you was something I outgrew. ⸻ [Chorus] Tell me, was I ever the one? Or just someone you held till you found someone? You let me go like I was nothing at all, Now I’m the ghost in your empty calls. Black moon eyes, I don’t see the sun, Just Jack and cigarettes on my tongue. If this is love, then what have you done? Tell me—was I ever the one? (background stronger) emotional corpse, corpse, corpse… emotional corpse of us… ⸻ [Bridge — stripped → explosion] Jessica… Look what you’ve done to us— to me. I hear your name in the silence I can’t bear, Like a ghost in the smoke, like you’re still there. Life stretched thin, every nerve pulled apart, This isn’t a hangover—it’s the end of my heart. I’m falling in reverse, back into you, Into every “forever” that never came true. While you’re out there breathing like nothing went wrong— I’m choking on the echo of our song. ⸻ [Final Chorus — full impact] Tell me, was I ever the one? Or just someone you held till you found someone? You let me go like I was nothing at all, Now I’m the ghost in your empty calls. Black moon eyes, I don’t see the sun, Just Jack and cigarettes on my tongue. If this is love, then what have you done? Tell me—was I ever the one? (full chant / gang vocals) EMOTIONAL CORPSE, CORPSE, CORPSE— IN THE COFFIN OF US, OF US, OF US— EMOTIONAL CORPSE, CORPSE, CORPSE— LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO US. ⸻ [Outro] I smile politely while I’m falling apart, Still taping numbness over my heart. While you move on like I meant nothing to you— I wish… I would just drown. ⸻
