[Intro] (A slow, lonely piano loop plays softly through heavy vinyl dust and crackle. The faint sound of a rainstorm swells in the background, cutting out abruptly as a massive, heavy sub-bass vibration drops in.) [Verse 1] Staring at the wall where your picture used to hang Echoes in the hallway from the words we never sang Driving down the strip but the passenger is bare Looking to my right, nothing but the cold air Left me in the static, left me running in the gray Wishing I could find a word to bring back yesterday Time keeps moving but I’m frozen on the block Listening to the rhythm of a broken-hearted clock [Pre-Chorus] [Low, raspy whisper - very close to mic] Heavy rain is falling down... Silence in the underground... Gone ahead into the shade... Memories will never fade... [Chorus] [Melodic yelling, heavy vocal clipping, explosive energy] LOOKING AT THE CEILING, GONE WITHOUT A TRACE! EVERYWHERE I TURN I SWEAR I SEE YOUR PALE FACE! 6-6-6 DRIFTING LONELY IN THE MUD! MOURNING FOR MY BROTHER WITH THE TEARS AND THE BLOOD! [Verse 2] [Fast, choppy monotone triplet flow] Pouring out a bottle for a friend who isn't here Living with the phantom while the shadows reappear Life turned cold when the silver screen dropped Story of a brother whose timeline stopped Grey clouds hanging over stone on the hill Everything is moving but my world is standing still Holding onto anchors that are sinking in the deep Promises I made are the secrets that I keep [Pre-Chorus] [Low, raspy whisper - very close to mic] Heavy rain is falling down... Silence in the underground... Gone ahead into the shade... Memories will never fade... [Chorus] [Melodic yelling, heavy vocal clipping, explosive energy] LOOKING AT THE CEILING, GONE WITHOUT A TRACE! EVERYWHERE I TURN I SWEAR I SEE YOUR PALE FACE! 6-6-6 DRIFTING LONELY IN THE MUD! MOURNING FOR MY BROTHER WITH THE TEARS AND THE BLOOD! [Verse 2] [Fast, choppy monotone triplet flow - vocals layered and doubled] Pouring out a bottle for a friend who isn't here Living with the phantom while the shadows reappear Life turned cold when the silver screen dropped Story of a brother whose timeline stopped Grey clouds hanging over stone on the hill Everything is moving but my world is standing still Holding onto anchors that are sinking in the deep Promises I made are the secrets that I keep [Bridge] [The drums drop out completely. Only a slow, detuned piano chord loops over a deep, pulsing 808 heartbeat.] [Deeply pitched-down voice] Empty chair... heavy heart... watched the world fall apart... Since you left... in the dark... trying to find another spark... Rest in peace... sleep tight... see you in the valley light... [Chorus] [Maximum distortion, chaotic melodic screaming, maximum energy] LOOKING AT THE CEILING, GONE WITHOUT A TRACE! EVERYWHERE I TURN I SWEAR I SEE YOUR PALE FACE! 6-6-6 DRIFTING LONELY IN THE MUD! MOURNING FOR MY BROTHER WITH THE TEARS AND THE BLOOD! [Outro] (The heavy 808 rhythm stops. The haunting piano loop returns one final time, slowing down drastically and breaking up into analog signal noise. The sound of heavy rain fades back up to wash out the track until a sudden tape stop.) [End]
