[(({Vocals remain fragmented, intimate, breath-forward, with pitch instability increasing over time. Half-time orchestral trap sections feel heavier, slower, like gravity turning up.}))] [Chorus] You were a light, now you’re a scar in her Still warm, still burnin’ under her skin You were a light, now you’re a scar in her She didn’t get darker She learned how to live with it Live with it Live with it [Verse] I watched you flicker when she closed her eyes Like a dying star that still wants to lie You said love shouldn’t hurt like this But you stayed anyway You stayed anyway You said you were saving her from herself But you only knew how to disappear Every promise tasted like ozone Clean and wrong and near [Pre-Chorus] You don’t vanish You dissolve You leave fingerprints in the walls You don’t leave her empty You leave her changed [Chorus] You were a light growing inside of her Now you’re a shadow she knows by name You were a light growing inside of her She didn’t grow darker She adapted to the flame Adapted Adapted Adapted to the flame [Verse] Your voice still loops in the machinery Soft like you never meant the harm You said “run” like it was mercy But you ran first You always ran first She learned how to hold silence Like a loaded gun Not to fire Just to know it’s there Just to know she’s done [Break / Half-Time Drop] (Filtered vocals, almost whispered, layered and phase-shifted) You don’t get to be the light If you leave her in the dark You don’t get to be the light If you never learned to stay [Chorus] You were a light growing inside of her Now you’re a lesson she won’t repeat You were a light growing inside of her She didn’t get colder She just stopped bleeding Stopped bleeding Stopped bleeding [Bridge] Your hands knew where to rest But never where to stay You loved her like a moment Not like a place You said the world was too much So she made herself small Now she fills the room And you feel nothing at all [Pre-Chorus] This isn’t vengeance This isn’t blame This is what remains When the light leaves wrong [Final Chorus] You were a light growing inside of her Now you’re quiet, finally still You were a light growing inside of her She didn’t lose herself She learned your shape And healed around it Healed around it Healed around it [Outro] (Reese bass strips down, pads swell, vocals fracture into breath and noise) You were a light But light isn’t love If it won’t stay If it won’t stay
