Bed of Spears

ToxicExMusic
Wobbling, Mechanical, Grimy, Glitched, All Female Evil Cyberpunk/Psychogroove/Polka track erupts walls of angular Finnish cellos playing violently sliding melodies in Dorian mode, scordatura cello riffs (C2/D3/G2/A3) with percussive slap tap, ricochet, and aggressive spiccato, Choruses drop into dense, crushing walls of cello, bowed tremolo, hammered pizzicato, mid-range glissandi, evoking maximal energy, Interludes feature galloping cello vamps and tarantella low-end ostinati, cellists unleashing tap-style solos intensity surges with martelé, sul pont, and chopping, forging high harmonics, The arrangement should feel like a single instrument, but with subtle dissonances and rhythmic shifts that make it sound alive, No drums, no guitars, no synths, just cellos, cellos, and more cellos, layered to sound like a ghost orchestra, The dynamic range should go from a whisper to scream, Female vocals are guttural, monstrous, inhuman, abyssal, fiery screams, harsh harmonies, aggressive leads

[Verse 1] Steal your coffee on the counter Mug ring ghost on the oak I sleep sideways on my side now Dodging where you used to hold my throat Your hoodie hangs like a sentence Half-zipped Hanging by a thread I keep lying to the silence Saying you’ll come back to bed [Pre-Chorus] Every corner cuts me Every memory stares I lie down on our mattress Like I’m walking into flares [Chorus] This bed of spears Where we swore we’d grow old Now it’s just me and the holes in the sheets Where you used to be warm Used to be bold This bed of spears Every pillow draws blood It was heaven when you were breathing my air Now it’s pain It’s pain Just an empty flood [Verse 2] Two plates stacked in the sink still Lipstick stain on the rim I talk soft into the dark space Like you’re listening from the dim The dent your body carved beside me Colder every single night I keep reaching through the absence Grabbing nothing Gripping tight [Pre-Chorus] I replay every Sunday Bare feet Tangled legs How did something so simple Turn to nails and broken pegs [Chorus] This bed of spears Where we swore we’d grow old Now it’s just me and the holes in the sheets Where you used to be warm Used to be bold This bed of spears Every pillow draws blood It was heaven when you were breathing my air Now it’s pain It’s pain Just an empty flood [Bridge] I make your side up perfect Smooth the covers Tuck them in Like I’m dressing up a gravestone For a love I can’t rescind (oh) If I sleep I see you leaving If I wake you’re really gone So I pace around this island Where our ship once slept till dawn [Chorus] This bed of spears Where we swore we’d grow old Now it’s just me and the holes in the sheets Where you used to be warm Used to be bold This bed of spears Every pillow draws blood It was heaven when you were breathing my air Now it’s pain It’s pain Just an empty flood [Outro] Empty bed Heavy bones Calling out your name in low tones Love was silk Now it tears and sears I lie alone on this bed of spears
