[Tuning: Drop B]
[Tempo: 70 BPM intro → 140 BPM main
Time: 4/4]
[INTRO – Slow / Ominous]
[Guitar: Clean, delay-soaked picking → dissonant swells]
[Bass: Low drone]
[Drums: Sparse hits, distant toms]
[Spoken / Prayer (soft, reverent) with layered chants in the background]
Lord, search me…
And know my heart…
Cleanse what is hidden…
And reveal the truth within…
[BUILD]
[Guitar: Add distortion, palm-muted pulse]
[Drums: Kick builds, tom rolls rising]
You paint it clean to hide the stain
A fragile mask that can’t contain
[VERSE 1 – Aggressive entry]
[Guitar: Tight chugs, syncopated riff]
[Drums: Fast kick, snare accents]
You preach perfection with a forked tongue
Spit your lies like scripture sung
Dressed in grace, but stained in filth
A hollow crown, inherited guilt
[PRE-CHORUS – Tension rise]
[Guitar: Open chords, dissonance ringing]
I see through your disguise
Cracks forming in your porcelain lies
[CHORUS – Heavy / Repetitive]
[Full band hits hard, half-time feel]
BENEATH
THE WHITE
BENEATH
THE WHITE
Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside
Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside
[VERSE 2 – Driving, confrontational]
[Guitar: Groovier chugs, spaced hits for 140 BPM feel]
You cast the stone, then hide your hands
Build your throne on sinking sand
Sanctified with hollow breath
A painted path that leads to death
[PRE-CHORUS]
Every word you say
Echoes through decay
[CHORUS – Bigger]
BENEATH
THE WHITE
BENEATH
THE WHITE
Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside
Porcelain lies — you’re DEAD inside
[BREAKDOWN – Half-time / Crushing (140 BPM groove)]
[Huge chugs, wider spacing, heavy impact hits]
CRACK
THE
SURFACE
LET IT
SHOW
WHAT YOU
HIDE
BELOW
PORCELAIN
FUCKING
LIES
[OUTRO – Instrumental / Haunting Chant Fade]
[Guitar: Clean, reverb-heavy chords slowly ringing out]
[Ambient: Reverse swells, low drones building atmosphere]
[Drums: Sparse floor tom hits, slowing, then silence]
[Chants: Layered, distant, male + female voices, reverb-heavy]
Beneath the white…
Beneath the white…
Porcelain… lies…
[Whispers panned left/right]
You’re not clean…
You’re not clean…
[Final chant – stretched, fading]
Dead inside…
