[Verse 1] (Acoustic guitar strumming slowly, low bass notes, intimate vocal delivery) Heavy breathing in the cold hallway Counting minutes that are slipping away No one listens to the songs we play Just a fading whisper in the gray [Chorus] (Distorted electric guitars kick in softly, emotional vocals) Hold the breath before it breaks! See the damage that it makes! Nothing gold can ever stay Wash the static all away! [Verse 2] (Back to acoustic guitar, minimalist drums with brushes) Empty bottles on a wooden floor Not sure what we're looking for anymore Close the curtains, turn off the light We won't make it through the night [Chorus] (Full band joins, heavier and melodic) Hold the breath before it breaks! See the damage that it makes! Nothing gold can ever stay Wash the static all away! [Bridge] (A slow, melancholic guitar solo, slightly out of tune, very raw) [Chorus] (Maximum emotional delivery) Hold the breath before it breaks! See the damage that it makes! Nothing gold can ever stay Wash the static all away! [Outro] (Fading acoustic guitar strum, string feedback drifting out) Away... [End]
