Ashes, Wires, and Oxygen
rap, Stripped-down mid-tempo emo pop-rock: picked acoustic guitar and close, reverb-kissed piano as the spine, female quintet vocals stacked in tense, haunting harmonies. Verses stay intimate with tight low-end from heavy bass and thick synth chords, 808s pulsing under the acoustic textures. Choruses bloom into aggressive yet sultry gang vocals, sharp top-end detail riding medium treble. Bridge flips into a fierce female rap over a spacious, half-time groove, then all five voices slam back in for a final cathartic verse and outro hook., acoustic, electronic, raw, girl group, sensual, emo, rock, pop

Lyrics
You said you’d never vanish
But you’re a ghost on read
Dirty dishes in the sink
And your side of the bed
Every promise on the fridge
Curling at the edge
You taught me how to doubt
Every word you ever said
[Chorus]
I am not your enemy
Just the mirror that you hate
All the lies you tried to hide
Dripping down your pretty face
You can call it “moving on”
I can call it what it is
You don’t need my love
You just miss my oxygen (yeah)
You don’t need my love
You just miss my oxygen
[Verse 2]
Sunday fights in quiet cars
Your hands tight on the wheel
You’d crash and burn, then pull me close
Say you “never meant to kill”
Every “sorry” felt rehearsed
Like a scene you knew by heart
You kept gasoline in your grin
And a match in every laugh
[Chorus]
I am not your enemy
Just the mirror that you hate
All the wounds you won’t admit
Blooming under all that grace
You can call it “letting go”
I can call it what it is
You don’t need my love
You just miss my oxygen (oh)
You don’t need my love
You just miss my oxygen
[Bridge – Rap]
You only ever loved me on the edge of a breakdown
Cherry lipstick, mascara on the playground
Made me pick up every little piece of your pride
Then you flipped the script and called me cold inside
You say I’m “too intense,” yeah, you say I’m “too much”
But you begged for my fire every time that we touched
Now you’re choking on the air that you swore wasn’t mine
Still tasting my name in your late-night wine
You crash, I burn, repeat, rewind
I cut the cord, you’re flatlined
You played the victim in my bed
But your fingerprints are on my neck, on my head
So breathe that silence you left me in
Feel that ache in your chest when you hear my friends
Singing every word that you said was a sin
I’m the storm you started
I don’t let you in (nah)
[Verse 3]
Look at you, a fading bruise
Turning yellow, turning grey
All your “baby, I’ll do better”
Just excuses in decay
I won’t bleed to keep you calm
Won’t go quiet when you spin
If I’m poison in your lungs
Why you begging for a hit?
[Chorus]
I am not your enemy
Just the mirror that you hate
Every secret you denied
Staring back you can’t escape
You can call it “moving on”
I can call it what it is
You don’t need my love
You just miss my oxygen (yeah)
You don’t need my love
You just miss my oxygen
(You don’t need my love)
You just miss my oxygen
