Crawling To Your Silence

[Verse 1]
Shadow on the tile
Nails scrape stone
Lungs burn
Dry
But I crawl alone
Ceiling feels an inch
From my face
Every breath a prayer
You won't trace
[Chorus]
God
Please rescue me
I'm crawling toward a quiet sky
If you're anywhere in this room
Why do you watch me die?
If you still know my name
Tear through this heavy night
God
Please rescue me
Or teach me how to fight
[Verse 2]
Bible on the shelf
Gathers dust
I tore out pages
Right after trust
I scream your questions
Into my sleeve
You answer silence
I still don't leave (why don't I leave?)
[Chorus]
God
Please rescue me
I'm crawling toward a quiet sky
If you're anywhere in this room
Why do you watch me die?
If you still know my name
Tear through this heavy night
God
Please rescue me
Or teach me how to fight
[Bridge]
[Drop to clean guitar
Drums distant]
I am not your hero
I'm barely holding on
If this is how you heal me
It feels like you're gone
[Drums slam to halftime]
Say something
Say anything (say anything!)
I'm choking
On everything
[Chorus]
God
Please rescue me
I'm crawling but my hands slip red
If you're anywhere in this room
Get in my broken head
If you still know my name
Then meet me in this spite
God
Please rescue me
(or I walk into the night)
[Outro]
[Band hits ring out
Last line nearly spoken]
Shadow on the tile
Still reaching for your light

rock, Hard emo rock with male vocals; intro opens on distant, reverb-soaked clean guitar and low toms, then erupts into wide, distorted chords and crashing drums. Verses stay tense and syncopated, bass pulsing under restrained vocal grit; choruses explode with lifted melodies and stacked harmonies over octave leads. Screamed call-and-response lines slice through the hook, with a halftime bridge that drops to near-whispered anguish before a final, full-band, scream-laced refrain., soaring, raw, light, emo, wrestling
