Not My Friend Anymore
Progressive rock/metal, Ambient intro, clean guitar with rythmic delay, song builds up to an epic bigger rock anthem with a puslating thumbing bassguitar groove, cinametic parts, male rough and gravely vocals, multilayered backing vocals, song gets agressive and heavier

Lyrics
Verse I
Golden rivers in a crystal shrine,
Whispered comfort in a glass of time,
A siren’s song that dulled the ache,
A fleeting light I thought I’d take.
Pre-Chorus
But the mirror breaks, the truth won’t bend,
What saved me once will kill in the end.
Chorus
Not my friend anymore,
The bottle lies where shadows pour,
Once a healer, now a thief,
Draining hope, devouring grief.
Verse II
Amber lanterns lit my way,
Through hollow nights and hollow days,
I thought the fire kept me warm,
But I was dancing in the storm.
Pre-Chorus
The silence grows, I hear it roar,
Your voice won’t save me anymore.
Chorus
Not my friend anymore,
The bottle lies where shadows pour,
Once a savior, now a chain,
Every drop a hymn of pain.
Bridge (lyrics)
You wore the mask of sacred wine,
But stole the stars from my sky,
Your gift was poison wrapped in gold,
A story tired, a story old.
Final Chorus (extended)
Not my friend anymore,
The bottle lies where shadows pour,
Once my shelter, now my war,
Alcohol — not my friend anymore.
Outro (soft, fading whispers)
Not my friend…
Not my friend…
Anymore.
