🎶 Vaelrix – Promise (Lyrics, Cleaned)  Verse 1 This heir of cancer infecting what I write— A necromancer, my words are parasites. It’s so revolting, I’m going through withdrawal, Listening to scolding, it raised my cortisol.

These words obnoxious, but numb like lead again, Wicked subconscious submerged in sonic grime. I am the toxins that live in Tylenol, The psilocybin—I had to write it all.

It’s a tragedy of apathy, and a mind that wanders lost. You echo inside a Jekyll and Hyde. How much did the Holocaust evaporate? It hazed when I realized I was all alone.  The roads to your heart were broken apart, And replaced by cobblestone.

or not I stop, I’m seeing beyond this. I tell you I promise—the dopamine rush. It opens me up, I’m not likely to stop this. Not likely to stop this.   ---  Chorus I shouldn’t have made that promise. I just didn’t think I would be so attracted to this. And I didn’t know it would become my reason to live.

Can’t abandon the people I chose to keep— They’re my companions, been around like a rotary. I don’t remember what it’s like to not obsess. All I have are letters and a pressure that’s in my chest.  If I don’t release it, then I flood from the inside out. There’s so many voices, I need to speak them before they sprout. An invasive species that spreads these corrupted weeds, This poison ivy disseminates through the species.

My promise—I can’t keep it,
Like the secret of suicide.
Get blue and I cycle,
Used to be used like the biggest drive.

Unstable prophet, a meme chord with the highest heat.
I have to rock it—if I didn’t, I would invite a scheme.

It’s a tragedy of apathy, and a mind that wanders lost.
You echo inside a Jekyll and Hyde.
How much did the Holocaust evaporate?
It hazed when I realized I was all alone.

The roads to your heart were broken apart,
And replaced by cobblestone.
Whether or not I stop, I’m seeing beyond this.
I tell you I promise—the dopamine rush.
It opens me up, I’m not likely to stop this.
Not likely to stop this.

I shouldn’t have made that promise.
I just didn’t think I would be so attracted to this.
And I didn’t know it would become my reason to live.

I love you.
I couldn’t do it.
I tried.
I’m sorry.

“Promise” is a cinematic dark ballad blending haunting orchestral and blues textures with fragile male vocals. Mournful piano, swelling strings, ghostly electric guitar, and subtle percussion carry confessional lyrics about addiction, obsession, and broken promises. This song feels like a funeral lament, capturing the tragedy of making a promise you cannot keep. For listeners drawn to deeply emotional, gothic, and brutally honest music. Let “Promise” pull you into its sorrow. Listen, share, and feel every word.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
This head of cancer
Infecting what I write
a necromancer 
my words are parasites
it's so revolting
I'm going through withdrawal
listen to scolding
it raised my cortisol 

these words obnoxious
but numb like lidocaine 
wicked subconscious 
submerged in Sonic rain
I am the toxins
that lives in Tylenol
this pscilocybin 
I had to write it all...

[prechorus]
it's the tragedy of an apathy, and a mind that wanders lost..
you echo inside, a jeckle and hyde, how much did the hollow cost?
evaporated hatred, when I realized I was all alone
the roads to your heart were broken apart then replaced by cobblestone...

[Chorus]
whether or not, I stop
I'm seeing beyond this
I tell you, I promise
the dopamine rush
it opens me up
I'm not likely to stop this
not likely to stop this
I shouldn't have made that promise.

[postchorus]
I just didn't think,
I would be so attracted to this
and I didn't know
it would become my reason to live 

[Verse 2]
I can't abandon,
the people I chose to keep
they're my companions
been around like a rotary
I don't remember
what it's like to not obsess
all I have are letters
and a pressure that's in my chest.

if I don't release it?
Then I flood from the inside out
there's so many voices
I need to speak them before they sprout
an invasive species
that will spread these corrupted weeds
this poison Ivy
disseminates through the speech as seeds

[bridge]
my promise, I can't keep it 
like a secret of suicide 
get blue when I recycle
refuse to reuse like the bin is dry 
unstable prophet
a meme coin with a high esteem
I have to rocket
if i didn't I wouldn't write a scheme

prechorus]
it's the tragedy of an apathy, and a mind that wanders lost..
you echo inside, a jeckle and hyde, how much did the hollow cost?
evaporated hatred, when I realized I was all alone
the roads to your heart were broken apart then replaced by cobblestone...

[Chorus]
whether or not, I stop
I'm seeing beyond this
I tell you, I promise
the dopamine rush
it opens me up
I'm not likely to stop this
not likely to stop this
I shouldn't have made that promise.

[postchorus]
I just didn't think,
I would be so attracted to this
and I didn't know
it would become my reason to live 

[Outro]
I love you 
I couldn't do it.
I tried. 
I'm sorry.
