Nothing Would Come Out

[Instrumental Intro] (full intensity from beat one, fast heavy downtuned power chords, double kick blast, no build up, maximum volume immediately) [Verse 1] (relentless fast palm-muted riffs, thick wall of distorted guitars, pounding double kick, full intensity) It's two AM and the only light is the phone against the ceiling I scroll through birthday parties I was not invited to Weddings and group photos and people holding people I open up a comment box, I type something, I delete it I type it again and I delete it again I have measured out my life in infinite identical midnights Do I post this, do I send this, DO I DARE I put the phone down and I pick it back up in eleven seconds [Verse 2] (same high intensity, fast downtuned power chords, double kick drums never stopping, dense heavy distortion) A couple on the bench outside the coffee shop are sharing headphones Two friends at the next table haven't stopped laughing since they sat down A woman on the sidewalk runs to someone and they hold each other I am not the main character, I'm the person in the background I am the blur behind the couple in a stranger's photograph They are all singing to each other, every single one of them But they are not singing to me [Bridge] (half-time, stripped back, heavy and slow) I almost said hello today today I opened up my mouth but nothing would come out I had the words, I had the moment I WATCHED IT CLOSE [Final Chorus] (full power, everything, maximum intensity) THEY ARE ALL SINGING TO EACH OTHER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM THEY ARE NOT SINGING TO ME AND THE ALARM GOES OFF AND I DROWN IN ANOTHER MORNING [End]
