Absence Engine

[Intro – Ambient ticking, soft strings, faint heartbeat rhythm under reverb-heavy chords] The machine still runs… But it doesn’t sound the same. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Whispered, intimate tone] The cup still waits The shoes still stand The dust still settles On your plans And I walk past The place you were Like not looking Will make it blur ⸻ [Bridge – A low bass pulse enters, slow, heartbeat-like] Time ticks through An empty gear It spins, but something’s Gone from here ⸻ [Chorus – Melodic, aching, slow vocal layering] ABSENCE ENGINE — TURN WITHOUT YOU GRINDING DAYS INTO SOMETHING NEW I’M A SHADOW OF WHO I WAS A FRACTURE SPINNING JUST BECAUSE [Verse 2 – Slightly louder, tremolo guitars fade in] Your name still hums Inside my chest A quiet drone That won’t find rest I see your face In idle things A flicker lost In turning rings ⸻ [Bridge – A low bass pulse enters, slow, heartbeat-like] Time ticks through An empty gear It spins, but something’s Gone from here —— [Chorus 2 – Stronger harmonies, emotionally cracked vocals] ABSENCE ENGINE — MAKE ME WHOLE GIVE ME BACK THE PART YOU STOLE I WIND THE HOURS, BREATHE THE GRIEF BUT NOTHING GIVES ME BACK BELIEF ⸻ [Instrumental – Guitars weep in slow delay patterns, drums echo distant thunder, time signature subtly shifts] [Bridge – layered over pulsing rhythms] I don’t cry when they ask me I cry when nothing asks When silence folds around me And calls itself a task ⸻ [Final Chorus – Slower, fading, like a prayer dissolving] ABSENCE ENGINE — STALLS AND FADES LOOPS OF MEMORY, TURNING BLADES THE PIECES MOVE, BUT I DO NOT YOU ARE THE PIECE THAT TIME FORGOT ⸻ [Outro – one final chord stretched until it breaks apart]
