[Intro – Heavy Chugs + Screamed Cue]
[—> Immediate drop-tuned guitar chugs] [Drop B]
[—> Drum kit hits with tight double-kicks and ride cymbal accents]
[—> Vocal cue screamed]
“This is what it took to feel something!”
[→ Full band launches into Verse 1]
⸻
[Verse 1 – Screamed with Sharp Pacing]
Cut out the pieces that wouldn’t fit
Bit my tongue ‘til I tasted grit
Every lie was laced in gold
But all that shimmered just kept me cold
Buried the truth under my breath
Smiled while planning my own death
I gave my name away for peace
But found no silence, no release
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Tension Build with Melodic Screams]
I tore myself in two to live
But now there’s nothing left to give
If I’m the ghost behind the sound—
Then let me
Scream it loud
⸻
[Chorus – Clean, Powerful, Anthemic]
Erase me loud, don’t fade me slow
If I disappear, I want you to know
I broke myself just to belong
But you still looked away all along
If this is how I leave the crowd—
Then carve it deep
Erase me loud
⸻
[Verse 2 – Screamed, Faster Cadence]
Hung my hopes like coats on hooks
Ripped out pages from the books
Played the part, took the fall
Broke the mirror in the hall
Built my name on shaking stone
Fought like hell, still died alone
You called it growth—I called it scars
We’re not the same. We never are.
⸻
[Breakdown – Brutal, Tight, Wage War Style]
CUT THE CORD—LET ME DROP!
I’D RATHER BURN THAN HEAR YOU TALK!
EVERY WORD YOU SAID WAS FAKE!
NOW WATCH ME SHATTER FOR MY SAKE!
[→ Guitar chugs in rapid punches, bass drops in like a wrecking ball]
[→ Drums go full blastbeat → stop and slam moment with growled] “GO!”
⸻
[Bridge – Clean/Scream Hybrid + Breakdown Melody Lead-In]
[Clean]
I gave too much
To be this hollow
I screamed your name
But you just followed
[Screamed overlap]
So take your praise and dig my grave—
You never meant the words you gave!
⸻
[Breakdown 2 – Slower, Devastating, Riff-Crushing]
I BROKE MYSELF SO YOU’D FEEL FINE!
NOW I’M THE VOICE YOU LEFT BEHIND!
RIP MY HEART OUT, PIN IT PROUD—
IF I’M FORGOTTEN—ERASE ME LOUD!
[→ Final breakdown hits like cinderblocks]
[→ Dissonant guitar lead squeals trail over chugs]
⸻
[Final Chorus – Bigger, More Emotional, Desperate]
Erase me loud, don’t fade me slow
If I disappear, I want you to know
I bled in silence for the show
But never felt a thing below
So if I’m gone when you turn ‘round—
Just carve it deep
Erase me loud
⸻
[Outro – Dissonant Guitars Fade, Soft Spoken Line]
[Spoken]
You never saw me.
Now hear me go.
[→ Guitars fade to feedback]
[→ Click. Silence]
