Ashes in the Coffee Cup
metal, Smoky bossa groove with brushed drums and nylon guitar, ghosted by distant, washed-out black-metal guitars buried in the mix; male vocals almost whispered. Choruses bloom with hazy lo-fi keys and detuned background hummed harmonies. Tape-saturated atmosphere, eerie room reverb, and a slow-build swell of distorted pads near the end that never fully explodes., lo-fi, black metal, bossa nova

Lyrics
Verse 1
Cold cup on the table
Lipstick ring
But you don't drink here
Curtains breathe like they remember
Names I never learned to say
---
Chorus
Ashes in the coffee cup
Did you come to burn me up?
Every sip
Your shadow closer
(here again, then gone)
Ashes in the coffee cup
Staring back
I'm giving up
I can taste your quiet anger
Long after you’re gone
---
Verse 2
Rain ticks on the window
Tiny hammers on my skull
You hum in the hallway
I answer an empty door
---
Chorus
Ashes in the coffee cup
Did you come to wake me up?
Every sip
Your shadow closer
(here again, then gone)
Ashes in the coffee cup
Tell me when enough’s enough
I can taste your quiet anger
Long after you’re gone
---
Bridge
You breathe in the corners
I breathe in the smoke
We circle this silence
Waiting to choke
---
Chorus
Ashes in the coffee cup
Look at what we’re made of
Every sip
Your shadow closer
(here again, then gone)
Ashes in the coffee cup
Stirred but it won’t mix up
I just watch your quiet anger
Sinking as I’m gone
