Verse 1 (soft, almost whispered): You wore the weight like silk and stone, Bruises hidden in a house not home. Spoke in whispers, walked on thread, Dreams like glass beneath your bed. Pre-Chorus (building tension): I watched you drown in shallow seas, Tethered tight to broken pleas. But shadows lie—they twist and bind, And I won’t watch you stay confined. Chorus (haunting, swelling layers): Sever the ties, Let the silence die. You are not theirs to hold, Not a story left untold. Break from the night, Let the embers rise. I’ll be the storm, If you can’t fight. Verse 2 (soft, swelling gradually): You traced their words across your skin, Carved apologies that wore you thin. Every breath, a borrowed cage, Choking quiet into rage. Pre-Chorus (darker, heavier drum build): But glass can cut, and ropes can fray, I’ll tear them down if you can’t say— Enough is enough, You’re more than the dust. Chorus (bigger, more desperate): Sever the ties, Let the silence die. You are not theirs to hold, Not a story left untold. Break from the night, Let the embers rise. I’ll be the storm, If you can’t fight. Bridge (melodic, layered harmonies, trembling tension): Let me be the blade, The whisper in your veins. I’ll bleed the dark away, I’ll set fire to their chains. You don’t have to scream, I’ll be every sound you need. I’ll break the storm, If you can’t breathe. Final Chorus (massive crescendo, layered vocals, crashing drums): Sever the ties, Let the silence die. You are not theirs to hold, Not a story left untold. Break from the night, Let the embers rise. I’ll be the storm, If you can’t fight. Outro (soft, raw, fading into stillness): You are not theirs… You were never theirs… Sever… Sever…
