When Everybody’s Gone
A slow hard rock edged R&B track opens with lush vocal harmonies, a smooth, flowing melody layered over subtle funk guitar and grooving bass. Atmospheric synth pads add depth, building tension. Midway, a burst of djent guitar injects intensity, before returning to a deep, soulful vocal finish.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Used to cuss your name
Under my breath in the car
Fighting in my head
Like you were right where you are
I fed every grudge
Like it was keeping me warm
Now the room’s too quiet
I got no one to scorn
Chorus
When everybody’s gone
Who will I hate then? (mm)
When every shadow’s mine
Who do I blame when
It’s only my reflection staring through my skin
When everybody’s gone
Who will I hate then? (yeah, yeah)
Verse 2
I kept a list
You know
Faces I’d never forgive
Turned my hurt to a hobby
Made it my reason to live
But the numbers thinned out
People moved
People changed
Now it’s just my own voice
Calling me out by name (oh)
Chorus
When everybody’s gone
Who will I hate then? (who?)
When every fight I start circles back again
And every single finger’s pointing from within
When everybody’s gone
Who will I hate then? (tell me now)
Bridge
Maybe it’s me
I’m the storm
I’m the rain (ah, ah)
Maybe I’m scared
To sit alone with my pain
If I lay it down
Could I love what’s left? (yeah)
Could I lose my enemies
And still have anything else? (anything else, anything)
Chorus
When everybody’s gone
Who will I hate then? (oh, oh)
If I forgive the past
Do I still exist when
There’s nobody to push
Nobody to defend
When everybody’s gone
Who will I hate then?
Outro
Maybe that’s the day
I stop living in defense (mm)
If there’s no one left to hate
I could turn that fire inward
Melt this armor off my chest (yeah)
When everybody’s gone
Maybe I love me then (oh, love me then)
