[Intro - Clean Melancholy Guitar Riff, Quiet Bassline, Muffled Kick Drum] [Verse 1 - Raw, Vulnerable Lead Vocal] It’s been a while since I looked in the glass And didn't hate the ghost staring right on back The cold kitchen floor, the same old routine Just trying to scrub out the worst parts of me But the miles stretch out like a highway of stone And I’m choking on words in an empty home [Pre-Chorus - Guitars Building, Snare Swelling] I’m still here without you, counting the scars Underneath the weight of these dying stars But the salt enters the wound when you call And I build up the dam just to watch it fall [Chorus - Explosive Full Band Entry, Huge Wall of Guitars, Anthemic Vocals] So sit back and laugh while I’m losing my crown! You wanted a king, well watch me burn it down! I’m swallowing dirt just to keep it inside Much like suffocating, nowhere left to hide Yeah, look at me now, are you satisfied? [Verse 2 - Heavy Bass Groove, Punchy Drums, Bitter Vocals] You’re such a comfortable liar, wearing that smile Feeding me secrets I’ve known for a mile I used to beg for a sliver of peace Now I just step back and watch the disease I liked having hurt when it kept you around But I’m digging a hole to bury the sound [Pre-Chorus - Guitars Swelling, Building Tension] I’m still here without you, counting the scars Underneath the weight of these dying stars But the salt enters the wound when you call And I build up the dam just to watch it fall [Chorus - Explosive Full Band, Massive Wall of Sound] So sit back and laugh while I’m losing my crown! You wanted a king, well watch me burn it down! I’m swallowing dirt just to keep it inside Much like suffocating, nowhere left to hide Yeah, look at me now! [Bridge - Heavy Bass Drop, Drums Drop to Half-Time, Aggressive Spoken/Screamed Delivery] Drop down... closing in... Send the pain below! Let it sink to the floor where it belongs You comfortable liar! Did you think I was weak? Did you think I was gone? We are running out of time so pull the trigger and let’s GO! [Guitar Solo - Soaring, Screaming Alt-Rock Lead Guitar, Massive Rhythm Section] [Outro - Instruments Fade to Quiet Acoustic Riff & Distorted Reverb Tail] It’s been a while since I felt like myself Just another broken promise left on the shelf... I’m still here without you Wading offshore... Safe from the storm. [End - Quiet Ring Out, Fading Amp Feedback]
