Fading into dust

Intro (male Clean – sparse, distant) The light stayed on past the hour It hummed against the wall I watched dust move through it Like something still working After everyone left Verse 1 (Male Clean → immediate scream takeover) I stood in the doorway too long Let the floor press back through my shoes Counted the marks in the frame Like they could tell me what I missed My hand hovered halfway Then stopped Then stopped again Verse 2 (Male Screams – dominant, rhythmic) The clock skipped forward Then stalled Numbers stacked on each other Late folded into early Early felt wrong in my mouth I hit the switch Once Twice Nothing answered Pre-Chorus (Male Screams → Female Clean enters underneath) I moved through the room Without moving anything Left every surface untouched Like proof mattered Chorus (Female Clean Lead, Male Screams as punctuation) It stayed where I left it Not gone, not close I carried the shape of it Further than I meant to It stayed where I left it Still holding weight I moved through the rest But this stayed the same Verse 3 (Male Screams – relentless) I traced the wall with my shoulder Felt the paint drag back Every step measured Like the room might give way I didn’t take anything I didn’t put anything down I just stood there Letting time misbehave BREAKDOWN (Male Growls – abyssal, minimal language) (low, sustained growls, sparse syllables, non-verbal emphasis) Aftermath Chorus (Both Clean, restrained, exposed) It stayed where I left it That part remained Everything else kept moving This never did Outro (Female Clean – final voice) From there It shows
