[Intro] [Clean guitar arpeggio – LEFT] [Clean guitar arpeggio – RIGHT, slightly delayed] [Low ambient noise, distant feedback] [Drums slowly enter] [Verse 1] [Low intimate vocal] I traced your name across the smoke Like a prayer I never meant to keep You left your shadow in my bones Now every night it talks to me The mirror shows a different face A stranger wearing all my scars I tried to wash away the stain But you still live beneath my heart [Pre-Chorus] [Build tension] [Floor toms + rising guitars] [LEFT guitar adds distorted sustained notes] [RIGHT guitar answers] You made a home inside the damage Built your throne from all my fears Now the silence feels electric Every time your ghost appears [Chorus] [FULL BAND EXPLOSION] [L+R HEAVY GUITAR RIFFS] [ACBDC RIFF PROGRESSION] [A → C → B → D → C] [Huge drums] [Wide layered vocals] [Gang backing vocals on final words] I'm still bleeding colors you left behind Still drowning in the dark where our worlds collide You lit the match and watched me burn alive Now I'm dancing with the fire in my eyes I won't beg I won't break I won't die inside your cage You can haunt me through the night But you'll never own the light [Post-Chorus] [L+R synchronized guitar riff] [Short instrumental hook] [Feedback tail] [Verse 2] [Pull back – bass + clean guitar] [Controlled vocal, darker delivery] I hear your voice inside the walls Like a siren pulling me below But I know better than before Some wounds are meant to let you go You loved the storm inside my chest Fed it every chance you had Then called me dangerous and wild For becoming what you made [Pre-Chorus] [Drums gradually intensify] [Distorted guitars enter halfway] Every scar became a weapon Every tear became a flood Now the girl you left abandoned Is rising from the blood [Chorus] [FULL BAND EXPLOSION] [L+R HEAVY GUITAR RIFFS] [ACBDC RIFF PROGRESSION] [A → C → B → D → C] [Higher vocal intensity] [Octave vocal doubles] I'm still bleeding colors you left behind Still drowning in the dark where our worlds collide You lit the match and watched me burn alive Now I'm dancing with the fire in my eyes I won't beg I won't break I won't die inside your cage You can haunt me through the night But you'll never own the light [Bridge] [DROP TO HALF-TIME] [Heavy bass] [Single distorted guitar – LEFT] [Clean atmospheric guitar – RIGHT] [Whispered vocal evolving into scream] Look at me now I'm the wreckage and the warning Look at me now I'm the ending of your story The chains you wrapped around my lungs Are rusting in the rain And every piece you tried to steal Is running through my veins again [Instrumental Break] [DRUM FILL] [L+R GUITARS ENTER TOGETHER] [ACBDC RIFF] [Progressively heavier] [Feedback + cymbal crash] [Final Chorus] [PEAK ENERGY] [FULL WALL OF SOUND] [L+R DOUBLE-TRACKED GUITARS] [ACBDC RIFF PROGRESSION] [A → C → B → D → C] [Layered harmonies] [Powerful sustained final notes] I'm still bleeding colors you left behind But I'm learning how to turn them into light You lit the match and watched me burn alive Now I'm the flame you could never survive I won't beg I won't break I found heaven in the pain You can haunt me through the night But you'll never own my life [Outro] [Band suddenly drops out] [Clean guitar LEFT] [Clean guitar RIGHT] [Soft vocal] [Long reverb tail] The ashes taste like freedom The darkness knows my name And I'm finally not afraid. [FINAL GUITAR HIT] [FEEDBACK] [FADE OUT]
