Salt in My Veins
Progressive melodic black metal with intricate tempo shifts, blast beats folding into half-time surges, tremolo guitars and mournful lead harmonies; verses race in serrated patterns while pre-choruses thin to toms and clean dissonant chords, choruses bloom with anthemic stacked screams and angelic high melodies. Raspy raw female lead with doubled lows, ghosted whispers, and soaring clean lines; fret noise swells, cymbal wind-ups, and reverse-guitar lifts between sections. Wide, icy, and razor-bright mix., raw, black metal, female vocals

Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up bruised by air
Like my bones are learning fear
Skin pulled thin on a frame
That keeps answering my name
I taste iron in my sleep
Count the cracks I cannot keep
Every room is a stone
Every thought turns flesh to bone
Pre-Chorus
And I bend
And I bend
Till the shape starts breaking
I pretend
I pretend
But I feel the shaking
Chorus
My mind can't take this
My body can't take this
I am split open
(Still I'm breathing)
My mind can't take this
My body can't take this
Call me back, call me back
Before I go under
Verse 2
Hands like ash on the rail
Heart beats wild, then pale
I drag this fevered frame
Through the fire, through the blame
Every promise left me sore
Every wound wants more and more
I am smoke in my chest
I am all that's been unrest
Pre-Chorus
And I bend
And I bend
Till the shape starts breaking
I pretend
I pretend
But I feel the shaking
Chorus
My mind can't take this
My body can't take this
I am split open
(Still I'm breathing)
My mind can't take this
My body can't take this
Call me back, call me back
Before I go under
Bridge
If you hear me in the dark
It's the last bright spark
In the ribs of a drowning flame
I was made to carry pain
But I am not the same
I am not the same
Final Chorus
My mind can't take this
My body can't take this
I am split open
(Still I'm breathing)
My mind can't take this
My body can't take this
Hold me, hold me now
Before I go under
My mind can't take this
My body can't take this
(Call me back)
