Till I break

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - sparse acoustic guitar strums, raspy male vocals with gravelly edge, faint synth pads humming underneath]

Worn out boots on a creakin' floor
I've been steppin' back while you walk right through the door
Your words like gravel grindin' down my spine
I'm tired of smilin' through the hurt every time

[Pre-Chorus - building folk fiddle swells, tension rising in raspy whispers, subtle distorted guitar feedback]

No more bendin' till I break
No more givin' what you take

[Chorus - gritty rock drive with pounding drums and overdriven electric guitar, raspy full-band belt, synthwave arpeggios pulsing through]

I'm done bein' your doormat, wipe your feet somewhere else
This heart's calloused now, from the weight you've felt
No more rag to the storm, I'm risin' from the dust
Tired of the lies, the lows, the loss of trust

[Verse 2 - country twang banjo picking, raw emotional rasp turning melancholic, lo-fi synth bass rumbling low]

Nights alone with a bottle and your ghost
Echoes of "sorry" that hurt the most
I've paved your road with my broken dreams
But the map's all torn, ripped at the seams

[Chorus - explosive grit amps up with heavy distortion solos, layered raspy harmonies, synthwave neon glow filters on vocals]

I'm done bein' your doormat, wipe your feet somewhere else
This heart's calloused now, from the weight you've felt
No more rag to the storm, I'm risin' from the dust
Tired of the lies, the lows, the loss of trust

[Bridge - stripped-back piano and lone acoustic, vulnerable raspy falsetto cracks, distant country steel guitar weeping]

One last breath in this empty room
Shadows dancin' to a lonesome tune
No turnin' back, the fire's finally lit
I'm walkin' out, leavin' you with it

[Outro - fading synthwave reverb trails, raspy ad-libs echoing into silence, acoustic embers dying out]

Done... bein' your doormat... yeah, I'm gone...
