The Shape of What Remains

Intro – Soft, Clean Vocals

I watched the shadows crawl across your face,

Like all the things we couldn't say.

You held my hand, but looked away,

And I knew something had changed.

Verse 1 – Clean Vocals

There's still a picture hanging on my wall,

A faded memory of it all.

I trace the cracks beneath the frame,

And wonder if you feel the same.

I tried to bury what we were,

But every silence makes it worse.

And all the words I left unsaid

Are screaming louder in my head.

Pre-Chorus – Building Vocals

And I can't sleep,

When you're haunting every dream.

I can't breathe,

With everything you left in me.

Chorus – Explosive Clean Vocals

So tear me open, let me bleed,

Show me everything you couldn't be.

I gave you everything I had,

And somehow you still gave it back.

Now I'm drowning in the words you never said,

Reliving every moment in my head.

You left me with the pieces on the floor,

But I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore.

Verse 2 – More Aggressive Vocals

I heard your voice inside the hall,

I turned around, but there's nothing at all.

Just an empty room and a bitter taste,

Another memory I can't erase.

You said forever like you meant it,

I was naïve enough to believe it.

Now every promise feels like a lie,

And every goodbye keeps me alive.

Pre-Chorus – Building Vocals

And I can't sleep,

When you're haunting every dream.

I can't breathe,

WHY WON'T YOU LET ME BE?

Chorus – Clean Vocals with Screamed Backing

So tear me open, let me bleed,

Show me everything you couldn't be.

I gave you everything I had,

And somehow you still gave it back.

Now I'm drowning in the words you never said,

Reliving every moment in my head.

You left me with the pieces on the floor,

But I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore.

Bridge – Screamed Vocals

I'M NOT THE PERSON THAT YOU LEFT BEHIND!

I'M NOT THE GHOST YOU KEEP INSIDE YOUR MIND!

YOU TOOK THE BEST OF ME AND CALLED IT LOVE!

BUT I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

Breakdown – Slow, Heavy

You wanted me broken.

You wanted me weak.

You wanted the silence

That you buried in me.

But I WON'T LET YOU

DEFINE WHAT'S LEFT OF ME!

Final Chorus – Emotional, Huge Vocals

So tear me open, let me bleed,

I'm finally finding what's left of me.

I gave you everything I had,

But I won't keep begging for it back.

I'm done drowning in the words you never said,

Done reliving every moment in my head.

You left me with the pieces on the floor,

But I won't be yours to break anymore.

Outro – Quiet, Clean Vocals

There's still a picture hanging on my wall,

But I don't look at it at all.

Some things never disappear...

They just become easier to leave here.
