what a kind friend.
Design a LIVE performance post hardcore live acoustic set, feels like a raw cut of a cassette tape, featuring a female lead vocal performed predominantly in the flageolet register — airy, high-pitched, and detached, evoking a dreamlike texture, The vocal tone should contrast ironically with the gritty, analog instrumental bed — giving the track a layered, dissonant texture that feels both polished and fractured, very interactive audience, who knows words to the song

Lyrics
Verse 1
I kept my eyes on you,
Just in case you'd blink
— But you held your stare,
And stayed, Out of pity.
I thought it was fate.
Held my breath
For something
That never came.
Pre-Chorus
So misguided,
In my beliefs.
I thought you knew
What this was too.
But you never said how you felt.
You just
Waited me out.
Chorus – Harsher Cut
What a kind friend I had —
To stay,
And call it mercy.
Just to spare me.
To waste my time,
So gently.
To stand beside me,
Like that meant something.
To never choose me,
But never leave.
verse 2
I could shine a light
And you'd never see it
I won't be alright
I won't forget it
Purposefully obtuse
What's the use you keep it hidden
I will see this through
But you won't be forgiven
Pre-Chorus
So misguided,
In my beliefs.
I thought you knew
What this was too.
But you never said how you felt.
You just
Waited me out.
Chorus – Harsher Cut
What a kind friend I had —
To stay,
And call it mercy.
Just to spare me.
To waste my time,
So gently.
To stand beside me,
Like that meant something.
To never choose me,
But never...
Leave.
