[Title: Kerosene Letters] [Intro – shimmering clean guitar arpeggio with delay, programmed electronic beat, warm synth pad] [Verse 1 – soft clean vocals, electronic beat continues] I found your letters in the attic Tied in ribbon, gone to gray Every line still leans toward me Like you never went away There's a gas can in the garage And a match inside my coat I've been standing in the driveway Trying to let the whole thing go [Pre-Chorus – live drums kick in, guitars swell, building] Say goodbye, say goodbye To the ghost that keeps me up at night [Chorus – soaring clean vocals with harmonies, full band] So I'll write you in kerosene Watch the ink curl into smoke Every word you gave to me Goes up in flames, goes up in flames And the sky will learn your name [Instrumental – harmonized dual-guitar lead, driving double bass, synth swells] [Verse 2 – blood curdling screams, full band, heavy] Every page a paper coffin Every sentence nails it shut I memorized your handwriting Now I'm burning what I loved (Clean) Do you ever think of me (Clean) When the streetlights flicker out (Screamed) Or am I just another chapter You forgot to write about! [Pre-Chorus – clean vocals, tremolo guitars underneath] Say goodbye, say goodbye Even embers have to die [Chorus – soaring clean vocals, screams layered underneath] So I'll write you in kerosene Watch the ink curl into smoke Every word you swore to me Goes up in flames, goes up in flames And the sky will learn your name [Bridge – band drops out, glitchy electronic beat, filtered vocals, piano] Ashes on my hands Ashes on my hands I held on too long To something that was gone [Build – live drums return, rising synths, delayed guitars swell, tempo builds] [Clean vocals, soaring and desperate] Let it go, let it go, let it go! [Breakdown – long intense breakdown, slow and crushing, drop-tuned chugs, pounding double bass] [Blood curdling screams] YOU WERE NEVER MINE TO KEEP! [Gang vocals] LET GO! LET GO! [Blood curdling screams] YOU WERE NEVER MINE TO KEEP! [Gang vocals] LET GO! [Breakdown continues – heavier, silence between chug hits, dissonant synth drone] [Low guttural scream] Ashes [Breakdown drops even heavier – half-half-time, final syncopated chugs] [Final Chorus – slower, massive clean vocals with harmonies, screams underneath] So I wrote you in kerosene And I watched you turn to smoke Every word you gave to me Went up in flames, went up in flames Now the sky knows your name [Outro – band fades, clean guitar arpeggio and electronic beat return from the intro] [Whispered] Goodbye [End – synth pad fades to silence]
