**[Verse 1 — heavy, syncopated riff]** Cold hands wrapped around my throat Your silence louder than your voice Every room became a grave Every memory, a rusted blade I watched your eyes turn black to me A stranger wearing what you used to be We built a home from fractured bones Now I sleep here alone --- **[Pre-Chorus — rising tension]** You said forever But forever died slowly Piece by piece Inside of me --- **[Chorus — huge, catchy]** SEVERANCE Cut me loose from everything we were SEVERANCE Now your name just feels like a curse You tore the heart out of this hollow skin And left me bleeding where your love had been SEVERANCE I let you go But the wound still burns within --- **[Verse 2 — darker, heavier]** I hear your voice inside the static Like a sickness I can’t kill You turned affection into violence Left me drowning in the spill Every touch became infection Every kiss another scar You held me close while digging graves Now there’s oceans where you are --- **[Breakdown Build — halftime drums]** You cut me open Just to watch me decay You called it love Then walked away --- **[BREAKDOWN — crushing]** TEAR THE MEMORY OUT OF ME I WON’T CARRY YOUR GHOST AGAIN (separated scream) SEV-ER-ANCE Blegh. --- **[Bridge — melodic, emotional clean vocals]** Was I just a body to abandon? A heartbeat waiting to collapse? I gave you every shattered piece And you still let it rot Now I carve your name from my veins One final time --- **[Final Chorus — massive, emotional, layered vocals]** SEVERANCE Cut me free from the weight of your shadow SEVERANCE I buried us beneath the sorrow You took the light from everything I loved Turned my heaven into ash and blood But I survived the ruin you became SEVERANCE I scream your name And feel absolutely nothing --- **[Outro — fading ambience]** The hardest part wasn’t losing you… It was learning You were already gone.
