[Intro – instrumental only, no vocals: soft felt piano, distant music box, faint kids toys clinking in hallway, house ambience] [Verse 1 – Male] I saw your eyes clear in the morning light Thought the garden finally let you go You're making coffee in that same soft light I told myself Lilith was just a ghost we know [Verse 1 – Female] I'm still here love, I'm the girl you married Put the past to bed, let's make this house a home Kiss the kids goodnight, tell me that you're happy See, the demon's gone, it's just me alone [Pre-Chorus – Male, build tension: kick drops out, heartbeat stops, piano low-pass filtered, music box starts to detune, distant door creak gets louder, airy dissonant pad creeps in, no percussion] But sometimes when you turn, your shadow lingers Same dark smile when the lights go low I blink and you're back, but I swear I see her, Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I don't know [Chorus – DROP: sub bass slams back, heavy heartbeat kick returns, soft clap on 3 with reverb, dark synth drone underneath, strong male only vocals harmonized ] Don't empty their rooms, don't go Stay here, be the one I know I can fix this, I can learn Just don't leave me in this burn Don't empty their rooms, don't go If you leave, where do I go Hands on the door, I'm on the floor Please don't walk out anymore [Verse 2 – Male] You tuck them in, you hum that same lullaby I catch your voice crack into something strange You say it's nothing, just tired from the night But your eyes go black when you say my name [Verse 2 – Female] I'm still her love, I'm just better at pretending Wear her skin so well you never see the seams You wanted her back, I'm just never ending Kiss the kids for me, they'll like my dreams [Pre-Chorus 2 – Both male+female , rising dread: all drums mute, reversed piano swell, music box winding down unevenly, whisper texture, low rumble builds, no kick] Look what we started, my dear We're still pretending Both still starving And we both know how this goes [Chorus – bigger DROP: deeper sub, kick with distortion, soft clap drenched in reverb, minor drone louder, big bigger male only vocals] Don't empty their rooms, don't go Stay here, be the one I know I can fix this, I can learn Just don't leave me in this burn Don't empty their rooms, don't go If you leave, where do I go Hands on the door, I'm on the floor Please don't walk out anymore [Bridge – [Female only vocals], cold whisper almost spoken: beat stripped to heartbeat only, distant door creak, no bass] Hands off the wheel now love, close your eyes You built this cage, I just locked the door Say my name like a prayer, watch me rise You begged for her, you get me more [Final Chorus – painful Male, angry+broken vocal, final drop: sub bass distorted, kick heavy and slow, piano muted, music box broken, empty room reverb] Don't take my kids, don't go You're caging me and I can't move Watching you leave with them in tow Nothing left that I can do Don't take my kids, don't go Standing here in empty rooms I thought Lilith left, I didn't know She was you all along [Softly whispered male vocal] I will always love you boys, so, so big... [Outro – instrumental, no singing: front door closes, keys drop on table, car pulls away faintly, music box winds down to silence]
