Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Morning feels like midnight Curtains closed inside my head Every little thought grows teeth Gnawing at the side of the bed Breath stuck in my ribcage Hands shaking in my lap Staring at the ceiling cracks Waiting for my brain to snap [Chorus] When the walls collapse Crashing down inside my mind I dig my heels, I scream back I won’t be buried this time When the walls collapse Stone and dust and broken glass I drag my heart through the shards I’m still here when the walls collapse (yeah) [Verse 2] Rage rides in like thunder Anxiety just locks the door Sadness is a tired ghost Laying on the kitchen floor Voices say I’m nothing Say I’m better off erased I answer with a crooked grin “You’re talking to my face” (hey!) [Chorus] When the walls collapse Crashing down inside my mind I dig my heels, I scream back I won’t be buried this time When the walls collapse Stone and dust and broken glass I drag my heart through the shards I’m still here when the walls collapse [Bridge] I count One for every breath I steal Two for every wound that sealed Three for all the nights I stayed When I swore I’d fade away I’m cracked But I’m not your easy kill Broken, yeah, but breathing still (breathing still) If all I’ve got’s a single spark I’ll hold it like a blazing mark [Chorus] When the walls collapse Crashing down inside my mind I dig my heels, I scream back I won’t be buried this time When the walls collapse Let it fall, I’ll crawl, I’ll laugh Bruised and bleeding, but I rise I’m reborn when the walls collapse (when the walls collapse)

metal, 70s doom metal: slow-crushing groove, shrieking lead guitar weaving around a detuned riff, male vocals shifting from haunted low growl in verses to ragged wails in the chorus; roomy live drums with cavernous toms, bass glued to the riff, bridge explodes into double-time chaos and layered scream harmonies before collapsing back into the main stomp, doom metal
