The Women I Lose

[Intro | electric guitar with attitude and sustain, deep groovy bass, drums locking the pocket, 90 BPM] Three women living in my heart Golden calm, living green, white peace I can't choose between them all Three women pulling at my soul [Verse 1 | male vocal gritty and present, electric guitar with grit, deep bass driving, drums steady in the pocket] Woman of amber and slow time Stillness lives inside her skin Words come polished when they land She sees straight through without a word Her touch is silk, her voice is low Near her the noise dies down But I know what her calm costs me It makes me forget how to want more [Chorus 1 | male vocal powerful, female harmonies behind, full band with heavy groove] If I choose her, I lose the fire If I choose her, I lose the fight If I choose her, I lose the part of me That still believes I can burn [Verse 2 | male vocal more aggressive, electric guitar with attitude, driving bass and drums pushing forward] Woman of light and living green Gold and emerald in every turn Skin that holds the sun like a secret Eyes that won't let me look away She gives like it doesn't cost her anything Near her I feel alive again But she won't stay in one place long And I already know the cost [Chorus 2 | male vocal strong, rich female harmonies, full band with driving energy] If I choose her, I lose my ground If I choose her, I lose my name If I choose her, I lose the version of me That still knows how to disappear [Verse 3 | male vocal exposed but sharp, full band with controlled power] Woman of pure cream and white light She moves like nothing can shake her Gives calm like it costs her nothing Stills the noise inside my chest Near her I finally rest But rest hollows me out It softens the architecture I'm built from I've never been good at staying still [Chorus 3 | male vocal raw and honest, full band at peak intensity] If I choose her, I lose the fire If I choose her, I lose the fight If I choose her, I lose the part of me That has to burn to feel alive [Bridge | male vocal climbing, voice starting to crack, full band building, heavy and desperate] Three women pulling at my heart One wants to keep me still One wants to set me alight One wants to wash me clean Whichever one I choose I'm losing something I can't get back Not choosing kills me faster Do I choose and become less? Do I wait and disappear? I'm already coming apart Torn between three different lives [Bridge Climax | male vocal raw and breaking, full band at maximum intensity] I can't choose I won't choose I can't… [Outro | drops to sparse electric guitar and bass, fragile male vocal, reverb tail] (voice fades on guitar alone) [End]
