Hot dream, break
Punk rock and UK metal hybrid with fast driving punk rhythm, half-time stomps in the hooks, and raw intimate male vocals; verse rides acoustic fingerpicking under grim distorted guitar swells, pre-chorus strips to voice and low tom pulse, chorus hits with stacked gang shouts and mournful lead bends. Reverb tails, reverse cymbal lifts, and a cracked room tone bridge the sections. Gritty, close-mic, and wide in the lows, rock, emotional, soft, punk, acoustic, slow, raw, deep, metal guitar, metal

Lyrics
I found your coat on the chair
Still holding winter
Your name in the threadbare seam
Like a nail in my finger
The kettle went cold again
By the sink at dawn
I stood in the doorway
Where the good went wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it plain
Break me clean
Don’t leave me
In between
[Chorus]
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
I wake up with your shape
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
You’re gone but you still ache
[Verse 2]
Your cup on the shelf is cracked
I keep using it
Lip marks in the faded paint
Every day I’m bruised by it
The back gate swings in the rain
Like it knows your step
I hear your laugh in the stairwell
Then the house goes dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it now
Cut me loose
Don’t keep me
Half-use
[Chorus]
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
I wake up with your shape
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
You’re gone but you still ache
[Bridge]
I took the frame off the wall
Found the nail hole raw
Held your old letter to flame
Watched the dark take all
If you come back as smoke
I’d still open the door
But I know your side of the bed
Is a mile and more
[Final Chorus]
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
I wake up with your shape
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
You’re gone but you still ache
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
I keep calling your name
Hot dream, break
Hot dream, break
And the silence stays the same
