Lyrics
Intro
Acoustic guitar strumming, raw production
Male Vocals: Breathless, fragile
Staring at the plaster, watching cracks begin to form
It's quiet in the hallway, but inside it's a storm
You're talking at the ceiling, I'm staring at the floor
I don't think I have the guts to do this anymore
Verse 1
Male Vocals
The coffee cup is freezing, sitting on the wood
You'd take back every dagger if you only could
But words are heavy markers, they never wash away
I'm looking for an exit, a shade of duller gray
Pre-Chorus
Female Vocals: Airy upper register, stacked harmonies
(Ooh-ooh)
I feel the pressure rising underneath the skin
(Ooh-ooh)
Don't let the devastation settle in
I'm wide awake, but shutting down the mind
Leave the wreckage far behind
Chorus
Duet: Male Gritty Belt & Female Power Chest Voice
I want to be hollow, I want to be blank
Sinking to the bottom of a sensory tank
Don't let me feel the stinging of your lie
Just let me drift, let the river run dry
Make me vacant
Make me stone
Leave me in this crowded room alone
Verse 2
Female Vocals: R&B phrasing, intricate runs
You cut so deep, but I'm refusing to bleed
Indifference is the only medicine I need
Oh, I'm blocking out the frequency, tuning out the noise
Male Vocals joins
I'm cancelling the anger in your voice
Bridge
Music builds: Distortion kicks in, heavy drums
Male Vocals: Aggressive
Take it all away!
Female Vocals: Belting G5
Make it stop, make it stop!
Male Vocals
I don't want to hurt!
Female Vocals: Ascending Melisma
I need the anesthesia!
Instrumental Break - Melodic Metal Guitar Solo
Female Vocals: Crystalline Whistle Register Solo - C7 Sustained
(Whistle Note Peak)
Guitar fades back to acoustic
Outro
Duet: Soft, airy
Just let me sleep without the dream
Quiet now
Nothing is as heavy as it seems
Female Vocal: Short, delicate run
Numb.
