Don’t come looking

“Don’t Come Looking”

(Intro – reversed whispers, distant thud)

don’t… come back…

too late… too late…

(metal scrape, bass creeps in)

(Verse 1 – low, controlled, venom building)

I begged so long I forgot my pride,

Left my dignity out there to die,

You watched me break in slow decay,

Then turned your head and walked away.

Cold shoulder like a loaded gun,

Silence louder than what you’ve done,

I said “I’m sorry” a thousand ways,

You let me rot in those empty days.

(Pre-Chorus – tightening, rising)

You ever feel your mind collapse?

Like time just loops and never snaps?

I stayed too long inside that pain,

Now nothing in me feels the same.

(Chorus – punchy, aggressive, layered)

DON’T COME LOOKING WHEN I’M GONE,

YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO MOVE ALONE,

EVERY NIGHT I LEARNED TO BLEED,

WITHOUT YOU WATCHING OVER ME.

YOU LEFT ME LOST INSIDE MY HEAD,

MADE A HOME OUTTA WHAT YOU SAID,

NOW I’M SOMETHING YOU CAN’T CONTROL

A BODY HERE WITH A MISSING SOUL.

(Verse 2 – faster, unstable, spiraling)

Days blur into one long scream,

Can’t tell awake from broken dreams,

Thirty-eight nights with no one there,

Just shadows breathing in my air.

I stopped believing help would come,

Started talking to the numb,

Walls don’t leave, they don’t betray,

They just watch me fade away.

(Whisper break – creeping, layered)

stay quiet…

don’t feel…

don’t need…

don’t heal…

(Pre-Chorus – distorted, breathless)

Abandonment’s a daily scar,

You don’t forget who people are,

They love you best when you’re on your knees,

Then leave you there to beg and bleed.

(Chorus – heavier, chaotic energy)

DON’T COME LOOKING WHEN I’M GONE,

I BUILT MYSELF FROM WHAT WENT WRONG,

EVERY TIME YOU LET ME FALL,

I LOST THE NEED FOR YOU AT ALL.

YOU USED MY HEART LIKE IT WAS RENT,

LEFT ME WITH THE DAMAGE SPENT,

NOW I’M COLDER THAN YOUR GOODBYE—

AND I DON’T EVEN ASK YOU WHY.

(Bridge – eerie, slow, almost hypnotic)

I used to wait…

by the door…

(creak… footsteps that never arrive)

Now I don’t wait anymore.

You killed that part real clean.

(Breakdown – bass drop, whispers into scream)

you said you’d stay…

you said you’d stay…

YOU SAID YOU’D STAY—

(distorted scream tears through)

(Final Chorus – full force, unhinged power)

DON’T COME LOOKING—I WON’T BE THERE,

JUST EMPTY EYES AND HOLLOW AIR,

YOU TAUGHT ME LOVE DON’T EVER LAST,

SO I BURIED MINE IN THE PAST.

I WANTED YOU TO FIGHT FOR ME,

BUT YOU JUST LET ME DISAPPEAR,

NOW I’M THE THING YOU LEFT BEHIND—

AND I DON’T NEED YOU ANYWHERE NEAR.

(Outro – quiet, chilling)

no more begging…

no more waiting…

just… gone.
