[Keep main vocal as recorded] [Never change or re-interpret main vocal] [Never change register or notes of main vocal] [Build around main vocal never replace it] [Verse 1] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, melodic male vocals] She says I'm useless, calls me names Forgets I'm drowning in her flames I beg for calm, I beg for peace But all she gives is one more piece Of hell inside this house of glass Where love was buried in the past [Chorus] [distorted guitar power chords, driving drums] I used to think I could make her see The man I was before I ceased to be I'm just a broken man living on borrowed time Calling the wreck of her storm again Pretending it's fine every word she throws Just becomes another scar And I'm wondering who the hell we are [growled vocals] A broken man, a broken mess Fading away into nothingness Nothingness, nothingness [screamed] Into nothingness! [Verse 2] [clean guitar arpeggio, bass-heavy rhythm] She hits when I'm sleeping, says it's my fault I stay silent, she knows I won't talk The peace never lasts, they're at it again I smile so I don't feel the pain But when I sleep, I fall apart A ghost in the mirror with a broken heart How did love become this cage? How did comfort turn to rage? [Chorus] [full distortion, heavy crash cymbals] I'm just a broken man living on borrowed time Calling the wreck of her storm again Pretending it's fine every word she throws Becomes another scar and I'm still standing here alone Wondering who the hell we are A broken man, a broken mess [growled vocals] A broken mess! Fading away into nothingness Nothingness, nothingness [screamed] Into nothingness! [Bridge] [drums drop to half-time, gritty bass] I recall the silence, the shouting too Proof of the monster she's become and what she made me do My body's tired, my faith is thin The walls remember every sin I whisper to the night, just let this end Just let this end [guttural growl] Just let this end! [Outro] [melodic vocals, building guitar intensity] I'm still a broken man, but maybe I'll find my way Out of the fire into the rain and wash this pain away If I fall tonight, don't call my name Just know I tried, I tried to stay A broken man, a broken mess Fading away into nothingness Nothingness, nothingness All I did was love you, all I did was stay Now I'm the echo you created and I fade away A broken man, a broken man [screamed] Fading away, a broken mess! Into nothingness [guitar feedback] Nothingness [End song] [End] [Song stop]
