[Intro] [distorted synth bass, glitchy percussion] Stained hands [heavy drum hit, distorted guitar chug] Tears unshed [fast synth arpeggio, driving industrial beat] [Verse 1] [breathy vocals, muted guitar rhythm] As I hold the empty space Stains that time cannot erase The weeping lives beneath the skin Waiting Waiting [shouted vocals] Grief of dust and love and ash Everything and nothingness My hands collect the closed-eyed stares [Chorus] [full band, distorted power chords] Tears that never fell Drops that never wept With no comfort in the chest And I am A guardian unasked [Bridge] [stutter effect on guitar, synth lead] Stained hands (stained hands) Tears unshed [vocalizing: ah-ah-ah] [dubstep-style synth growls, heavy percussion] [Verse 2] [muted guitar, electronic pulse] As I hold the empty space Stains that time cannot erase The weeping lives beneath the skin Waiting Waiting [Chorus] [aggressive shouted vocals] Tears that never fell Drops that never wept With no comfort in the chest And I am A guardian unasked [Outro] [clean guitar arpeggio, soft synth pad] Tears unshed, unshed Stained hands With tears unshed [vocalizing: ah-ah-ah] [distorted guitar swell, final drum hit]
