Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Used to bring you coffee Balancing two cups in one hand Laughing at the way you’d burn your tongue Calling me your “perfect man” Shared my last clean shirt With a drunk friend on my floor Held his head while he was shaking Drove him home Locked his door [Chorus] I was a good man Once Soft hands Open house Open heart You took every fucking piece Ripped the welcome from my front yard You turned a good man Into something you don’t wanna know You left a good man Now you’re haunted by a bad ghost [Verse 2] You said “Call me if you need me” Then you powered off your phone I was screaming in the hospital You were busy getting stoned They were clinking pretty glasses While I begged them all to stay Watched my “brothers” check their watches One by one They walked away [Chorus] I was a good man Once Soft hands Open house Open heart You took every fucking piece Ripped the welcome from my front yard You turned a good man Into something you don’t wanna know You left a good man Now you’re haunted by a bad ghost [Bridge] You made me your doormat Darling Wiped your blood and dirt and sweat Now I’m tearing up the floorboards Building pyres out of old regrets I hope my name tastes bitter When you spit it to your friends “I don’t know what happened to him” Bitch I finally hit the end [Chorus] I was a good man Once Now I hope that line cuts your throat You drained every fucking vein Left me drowning just to stay afloat You turned a good man Into something you don’t wanna know You left a good man Now you’re praying that this bad ghost (let you go… fuck that) This bad ghost Never lets you go

Male vocals over evolving dark orchestra: start with soft strings, piano, and distant choir, almost lullaby-light; low percussion enters by first chorus. Second verse swells with brass stabs, distorted cellos, and harder drums. Final chorus explodes with full choir, aggressive low brass, and pounding toms, vocal pushed into a raw, distorted edge. Tension strings and dissonant clusters carry the anger arc., orchestral, light, male vocals
