Lyrics
[MUSIC PROMPT: Extremely slow progressive alternative metal, 48–55 BPM. Dark hypnotic bass leads the song. Sparse tribal toms, atmospheric guitar swells, dissonant clean guitar, long pauses and odd-meter passages. Deep controlled male baritone, intimate and restrained in verses, gradually becoming powerful and anguished. No screaming early. Massive slow crescendo near the end. Long instrumental sections, polyrhythmic drums, haunting harmonies, heavy distorted final movement.]
THE WEIGHT BETWEEN
[Intro — distant bass, nearly silent guitar]
I found your shadow
underneath my tongue,
where all the words
I never gave you
learned to breathe.
You were the wound
that kept me whole.
I was the hand
that wouldn’t leave it alone.
[Verse — very slow, whispered]
We traded pieces
through a hole in the sky,
you kept my mercy,
I kept your goodbye.
Funny how losing
can resemble a door
when you’ve been kneeling
on the same floor.
[Long instrumental — bass and toms, 7/8 pulse beneath 4/4 guitar]
[Chorus — restrained, haunting harmony]
Take what remains.
Leave what was mine.
Love is a blade
with no edge
until time.
I gained the silence.
You lost the sound.
We both became heavier
when we put each other down.
[Verse — guitar slowly thickens]
There is a room
behind every memory
where the dead versions of us
still disagree.
One says, hold on.
One says, release.
Neither one knows
the difference
between hunger
and peace.
[Instrumental — long guitar bends, bass prominent]
[Bridge — drums become ritualistic]
I fed the absence.
It learned my name.
I cursed the fire.
Then begged for the flame.
Pain gave me something
love couldn’t keep:
A reason to wake…
and something
to bury
when I sleep.
[Heavy breakdown — extremely slow, crushing]
LOSS.
One stone removed.
GAIN.
Two stones carried.
LOVE.
The beautiful sickness.
TIME.
The cure
that kills it.
[Long instrumental crescendo — layered guitars, polyrhythmic drums]
[Final Chorus — powerful anguished vocal]
So take what remains!
Leave what was mine!
We were two crooked hands
trying to straighten time.
I gained the scar.
You lost the wound.
And somehow the emptiness
still makes room.
[Music drops to bass only]
Maybe love never leaves.
Maybe it only changes weight.
Maybe pain is just love…
arriving
too
late.
[Final massive guitar chord — let ring into silence]
