metalcore and stuff

[Verse 1]
The nights stretch into landscapes I don't recognize.
Days arrive without color, without weight.
I reach through the distance between us.
Drowning doesn't happen all at once—
it's the slow filling of spaces that used to hold air.

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know how to unmake this gravity.
The weight compounds.
I am lost inside the architecture of this pain.

[Chorus]
Would you enter the black with me tonight?
Your hand in mine, the only map I trust.
I cannot find the surface from here,
but your presence makes the falling feel like flight.
Would you follow me past the edge of what we know?
Into the black— 
into the place where I’ve been living.

[Post-Chorus]
The black surrounds like water, like static, like home.
Your touch might be the frequency that pulls me back.
One signal of light in this vast and empty 

[Verse 2 - More intensity, half-sung delivery]
I know what I'm asking feels like drowning by choice.
Walking beside me where illumination dies.
But your voice cuts through the white noise of my fear.
In the silence that screams louder than anything I've known,
you are the only sound that feels like truth.

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know how to break what’s turned to stone.
This weight builds walls I can’t tear down.
I am lost inside the ruins of my own collapse.

[Chorus]
Would you enter the black with me again?
Your hand in mine, the only truth I trust.
I cannot see the surface from here,
but your presence makes the falling feel like faith.
Would you follow me past the edge of what we were?
Into the black— into the place I’ve learned to call home.
(Into the black)

[Breakdown]
If you can’t follow, I’ll learn to breathe without you.
But your touch will echo in the hollow I keep.
Even in the black, where voices fall apart,
I’ll remember the shape of your light,
the way it once filled my name.
(the way it once filled my name.)

[Bridge]
In the black...
In the black I hear your breath becoming mine.
Between the ache and the quiet, we still exist.
The surface is gone; the depth keeps calling.
Your voice cuts through the dark like a scar that won’t close.

[Final Chorus]
Enter the black with me —
not to save me, but to understand.
Your hand in mine, proof that something still survives.
I may never find the surface,
but your presence turns the drowning into breath.
Follow me past the edge,
into the black where I’ve been waiting,
into the place I can finally let you see.

[Outro]
I will feel your pulse even when the silence wins.
In the dark between the stars, where sound forgets to travel,
I will still know you were here.
You were the light I couldn’t hold, but I can still remember.
Even in the black, you taught me how to see.

I will feel your pulse even when the silence wins.
In the dark between the stars, where sound forgets to travel,
I will still know you were here.
You were the light I couldn’t hold, but I can still remember.
Even in the black, you taught me how to see.

Will you follow me to the edge?
Will you follow me…
into the black?
