[Intro] [Eerie, clean, delayed guitar picking] [A sudden, dissonant dive-bomb on the guitar] [Explosive blast beats and heavy down-tuned chugging] [Verse 1] [Deep Deathcore Gutturals alternating with Mid-Fry Screams] I’m pouring venom down a swollen throat, Praying the toxicity dissolves your face! Years of distance, but the damage floats, Anchored in the marrow of this godforsaken place! I would drag my mind across the concrete, Slam my own skull against the masonry, Just to knock you loose from the architecture! Just to shatter the lens that still looks like you! [Pre-Chorus] [Desperate, Soaring Post-Hardcore Cleans] [Heavy melodic distortion backing it up] I swallowed the key. I poisoned the well. I built my own heaven but it feels like hell. I starved out the memory for years on end, But you’re the only sickness I can't suspend. [Chorus] [Massive Clean Vocals with Layered Harsh Screams beneath] I tell the world I’ve forgotten your name! But every drop of my blood remembers the shape! I am drinking the static just to starve you out, But you thrive in the wreckage, you breathe in the drought! I lock the doors, I burn the bed, But you are bolted to the inside of my head! [Post-Chorus Riff] [Chaotic, high-tempo chugs] [High, piercing Fry Screams] Bolted to the inside! I can't tear you out! [Verse 2] [Rapid-fire, aggressive False-Cord barks over drum fills] Decades of dust, but your fingerprints are fresh. You’re the phantom ache tearing at the flesh. Every swallow of the poison, every blackout fails, You’re rooted so deep in my fingernails! I swing hammers at my own reflection, Trying to cave in the walls of this endless connection! [Pre-Chorus] [Desperate, Soaring Post-Hardcore Cleans] I swallowed the key. I poisoned the well. I built my own heaven but it feels like hell. I starved out the memory for years on end, But you’re the only sickness I can't suspend. [Chorus] [Massive Clean Vocals with Layered Harsh Screams beneath] I tell the world I’ve forgotten your name! But every drop of my blood remembers the shape! I am drinking the static just to starve you out, But you thrive in the wreckage, you breathe in the drought! I lock the doors, I burn the bed, But you are bolted to the inside of my head! [Bridge] [Instruments drop out completely] [Spoken-word whisper, slowly degenerating into an unhinged scream] [A single, heavy, bending guitar note rings out] How many bottles? How many bricks? How much of myself do I have to destroy... Before the memory finally makes me sick?! [Breakdown Build] [Staccato, heavy Djent chugs] [Rhythmic guttural gasps syncing with the kick drum] Drain the glass. Break the bone. Burn the house. I am not alone. [Breakdown] [Full Band Drop - Slow, Earth-Shattering Half-Time Slam] [Deepest Possible Inhalation Guttural] I WILL BREAK MY OWN BONES JUST TO EVICT YOUR GHOST! I AM CHOKING ON THE ASHES OF THE THING I HATED MOST! GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HEAD! [Final Chorus] [Maximal emotional delivery, cleans and screams bleeding together] I tell the world I’ve forgotten your name! But every drop of my blood remembers the shape! I am drinking the static just to starve you out, But you thrive in the wreckage, you breathe in the drought! I lock the doors, I burn the bed, But you are bolted to the inside of my head! [Outro] [A slow, fading guitar drone] [Broken, exhausted whispers] Just me, the bricks, and the poison. And you're still here. Get out. [Hard Stop]
