Wife in My Heart
Thrash metal meets post-punk with fast punk drive, sharp swung attack, and a haunted half-time turn in the chorus; verses ride sparse acoustic fingerpicking under mournful electric stabs, pre-chorus strips to tom hits and low bass rumble, chorus slams in with jagged gang shouts and reverb-soaked guitar leads. Raw close-mic male vocals with doubled hook lines, a few cracked ad-libs, tape-slap throws, reversed swells, and a dry-to-roomy mix that feels intimate, bruised, and loud., punk, acoustic, rock, metal, slow, raw, deep, metal guitar, emotional, soft

Lyrics
I keep your cup by the sink
Cracked lip, blue rim
I still count two spoons
Like you never left
Your coat on the chair
Still knows your shape
I pass that doorway slow
Like it might bite back
[Pre-Chorus]
And I bite my tongue
Till it tastes like rust
I hear your name
In the floorboards dust
[Chorus]
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
You live right here
You live right here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
I tear the night
You keep me here
[Verse 2]
I burned your note once
Kept the ash in my palm
It rolled like a secret
Through my shaking thumb
The house holds your laugh
In the fridge hum low
In the cut on my hand
In the rain on the road
[Pre-Chorus]
And I lash out loud
But I fold back in
I call your ghost
Like a wound I defend
[Chorus]
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
You live right here
You live right here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
I tear the night
You keep me here
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
If I go too far
Pull me back by the scar
If I lose my face
Find me where you are
[Final Chorus]
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
You live right here
You live right here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
I tear the night
You keep me here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
Till my bones go cold
You keep me here
