V4.5-ALL

[Intro] [low vocal register Almost spoken] Curtains closed at noon Blue light on my skin Coffee gone cold again I just stare Through it [Verse 1] Makeup on For an empty room Red dress hanging Like a question from the door I trace my ribs Count the ones that ache Tongue tastes iron From the words I never say [Chorus] Silt in my lungs I’m sinking slow Every shallow breath Feels like letting go If I disappear Would anyone know? Silt in my lungs I’m begging you To pull me below [Verse 2] [breathy Intimate] Touch my throat Feel the traffic in my veins Every little heartbeat Trying to break its chain Mirror on the floor Shows the cracks beneath my smile I kiss my own reflection Whisper “stay a little while” [Chorus] [Bridge] [guitar riff front and center Tom-heavy drums] [subsonic screams] Drag me down To where the voices feed I wear my wounds Like velvet on my knees [seductive clean vocal over screams] Tell my shadow “baby You can have it all” Take my name My face Just let me feel the fall [Breakdown] [pitched-down growls Layered highs] I am the weight Tied to my feet I am the hole Under the sheet I am the hand Around my throat I am The last unspoken note [Chorus]
