Calling the Rules 2
Dark cinematic trap-metal hybrid with deep tenor male vocals. Gritty distorted bass and tom-heavy drums pulse under eerie choirs and metallic hits. Verses stay close and whispered-then-roared, with subtle synth drones and reversed textures. Chorus explodes with layered shouts, octave-doubled lead, and saturated low end for a ritualistic, haunted climax., deep, male vocals

Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s a weight on your back
You can’t shake it off
Warm breath on your neck
When the room’s locked up
Every mirror you pass
Shows a face half-turned
Every choice that you make
Smells like something burned
You keep tracing that mark
On your left-hand wrist
Like a half-drawn circle
Like a promise missed (yeah)
Chorus
This thing in your shadow been calling the rules
Writes lines on your life like a judge in the gloom
Are you the fool
Or just fooled
Kissing the teeth of the thing in your room
This thing in your shadow been calling the rules
Calling the rules (calling the rules)
Verse 2
You were born with a door
Nobody else sees
Hear a name in the dark
Drops you to your knees
It don’t ask
It decides
What you’re gonna do
Puts a word in your mouth
Says
“That’s really you” (huh)
Every “yes” that you speak
Got a stain
Got a cost
Every win that you chase
Feels already lost
Chorus
This thing in your shadow been calling the rules
Writes lines on your life like a judge in the gloom
Are you the fool
Or just fooled
Kissing the teeth of the thing in your room
This thing in your shadow been calling the rules
Calling the rules (calling the rules)
Bridge
You draw the line
It redraws the line
You swear “This time’s mine”
It laughs through your spine
Whose voice is that
In the back of your skull
Whose hand is that
When your hands feel full
You want out so bad
But you guard the door
You scream “I’m in charge”
While you beg for more (more, more)
Chorus
This thing in your shadow been calling the rules
Writes lines on your life like a judge in the gloom
Are you the fool
Or just fooled
Kissing the teeth of the thing in your room
This thing in your shadow been calling the rules
Calling the rules (calling the rules)
