Skeleton By the Time You Care
Emo Trap x Grunge-Hop Fusion Tempo: ~70–80 BPM (slow but punchy) Drums: Lo-fi 808s with deep kicks and reverb-heavy snares Occasional vinyl crackle or rimshots for that “forgotten” feel Melody/Instrumentation: Droning electric guitar riffs soaked in chorus and delay Ambient pads or ghostly synths, like distant wind or reversed piano notes Occasional music box tones or skeletal xylophone hits (to fit the skeleton theme) Vocals: Male lead: raw, emotional delivery with slight autotune for vulnerability Female backing: airy, reverb-soaked harmonies, like a ghost echo Bridge: could be whispered or spoken like a haunting monologue Mood: Bitter, hollow, emotional, sarcastic—but still melodic Could even have an echoed heartbeat fade-out at the end like your soul just gave up

Lyrics
Yeah…
You only noticed when the wind whistled through my ribs…
Too late, baby... I'm bones now.
I was flesh once, full of color and need
Now I’m dust in a hoodie, bones where I used to bleed
You call it love, but you ghost like it’s routine
Disappeared so long, I forgot what we mean
Time lapsed, now I’m nothing but frame
You remember my name when you need someone to blame
Say you miss me—nah, you miss the idea
But the version you loved? He ain’t been here in years
I’m a skeleton by the time you care
Hollow heart, vacant stare
Keep your "oh I miss you" air
Save that fake love, I ain't there
Dead to you till you felt alone
Then you text, like I ain't turned to bone
Keep your guilt and empty prayers—
I'm a skeleton by the time you care
"Oh my God, where you been?"—Bitch, really?
I was screaming your name while my soul turned chilly
You were out there chasing likes and trends
I was decaying, waiting, thinking we were friends
But nah, too busy for a call or a check
Now I'm on your feed and you cry like a wreck
Put a skull emoji under my last post
Funny, I died and you finally got close
You said you’d be there
But silence filled the air
Now I haunt what we shared
Only bones left to care…
I’m a skeleton by the time you care
Hollow heart, vacant stare
Keep your "oh I miss you" air
Save that fake love, I ain't there
Dead to you till you felt alone
Then you text, like I ain't turned to bone
Keep your guilt and empty prayers—
I'm a skeleton by the time you care
